Google is not really that diversified, most of the revenue comes from ads. Microsoft is a better example of a diversified business, and IMHO Amazon would be another good example.

Edit: sure, it's true that they put ads on everything, from YouTube videos to Gmail mailboxes, but that's not comparable to the level of diversification that MSFT or AMZN have IMHO.

They also run the biggest ad network. If you want to put ads on your site or app, they make it easy.

Yes, that's true, when we refer to ads we have to consider both internal properties and external.
