Friendster becomes friendlier with Google
With profitability way off their radar, Friendster finally found a better and easier way for them to make money. The social networking pioneer finally realized that they can join the crowd of web sites that relies on Google for a large piece of their advertising.
Under an expanded deal Friendster will soon display ads from Google based on Web search requests– a method that has proven to be one of the Internet’s biggest moneymakers, yet has escaped Friendster’s radar over the past.
Last year, Google pocketed a $3.1 billion profit while distributing another $3.3 billion in revenue to its thousands of online ad partners. Friendster hopes to have some of that pie. Good. Next time, please don’t be late.
