> More than 90% of their profits come online advertising

actually, it looks like this may be the first quarter where their non-advertising revenue was over 10% of their total revenue. $2,071 out of $20,091 (in millions). Growing 24% YoY isn't too shabby, either.

Because search tends to have a significantly higher margin than Google's other offerings (say Cloud), even if non-advertising revenue reaches 10% of total revenue, the non-advertising profit is below 10%
