Google Ranks as the 3rd Largest Technology Company in the World


This is not really a surprising headline for all of us. But in the Techworld, it's transparent that Google is taking the front seat for global net control. The Raw Story had detailed how Google had surpassed IBM as the third largest technology company in the world worth a whopping $145 billion. Compare that to IBM's $139.5 billion valuation and you can see that they have a good lead on them and are now biting at the heels of Cisco and Microsoft who still holds the #1 spot.

Here's the breakdown figures found in that article (in billions).

  • ExxonMobil - $416
  • General Electric - $367
  • Microsoft - $279
  • Wal-Mart - $214
  • Cisco - $147.5
  • Google - $145
  • IBM - $139.5
  • Intel - $123
  • Hewlett-Packard - $109
  • DaimlerChrysler - $54
  • eBay - $ 45
  • Yahoo - $32
  • Amazon - $14
  • General Motors - $20
  • Ford - $15


With the phenomenal growth of Google, an internet advertising giant who's search engine started in 1998, had been a much talked subject in technology trends today. Just this year, it continues to buy companies that are deterrent to their business. This phenomena is a clear fact that many of the other companies on the list above have been around for years and/or have a variety of revenue streams and with the entry of Google in the global scene is short of exhilarating to be part of this exciting time in history and watch them continue to grow into this mammoth entity.

Today, Google is worth some 58 billion dollars more than the combined value of America's three largest automakers DaimlerChrysler (54 billion dollars), General Motors (20 billion dollars) and Ford (15 billion dollars).

Guide to Search Engine Optimization

Keyword Research Work out the best keywords to target based on relevance and KEI for each webpage on the site (or as many as possible). Limit the KWs to target of each page to 1 or 2 one phrase. To keep track of which keywords the pages has to target put them in the Meta KW tag, a very good tag to keep track of this, hehe. On-Page Optimization Domain name: Get the most important KW in the domain name. Don’t make it look spammy, if the visitor feels it spammy, Google for sure also thinks so. Title: Try to make variations of the KW. Don’t repeat the same word more than 2 times and not after each other. Keep company name in the end of the title if branding is needed. Internal navigation: Each web page HAS to be reachable within two clicks (if not a site based on a db). If not with navigation structure then with a sitemap.
