On a typo sites usually only show ads only. Well, the ad was said to have originated mostly from the Google service, which means Google is also a part.
This problem is investigated by Tyler Moore and Benjamin Edelman of Harvard University. As reported by detikINET from Switched.com, Saturday (20/2/2010) They said Google has been supplying the ads in about 60% kecohan sites available.
No wonder, more researchers, if Google made a lot of money from here. It is estimated that the number could reach $ 500 million per year (about USD 4.7 trillion).
