Dear Google Friends,
With Halloween right around the corner, there are lots of strange
noises and things going bump in the night around the
Googleplex. Nothing to fear though, it's just our engineering staff
burning the midnight oil to launch the latest breakthroughs in search
technology. The only thing scary about them is the quantity of
midnight snack foods they consume. Read on to find out about the
latest and greatest Google has to offer...
Highly targeted ads for you and for me...Google introduces
AdWords.
Now you don't need to be Darren Stevens to launch a highly targeted,
cost-effective ad campaign online. Google's AdWords offers a simple,
quick and efficient way to present your message to Google users
searching for information on the product or service you have to sell.
It's as easy as 1-2-3. Create your ads, select your keywords, open an
account and you're instantly live and nationwide. With AdWords, your
text ads appear on search result pages for the keywords you select.
For more information on the AdWords program, check out our Frequently
Asked Questions or go straight to the sign up page to begin creating
ads.
Now it's even easier to obsess over your portfolio.
To get stock quotes using Google, just enter a ticker symbol.
Now you can use Google to get stock and mutual fund information. Just
enter into our search box one or more NYSE, NASDAQ, AMEX, or mutual
fund ticker symbols, or the name of a corporation traded on one of the
stock indices. Google will lead you directly to the relevant stock
and mutual fund information from a number of different sources.

If we can make it here, we can make it anywhere! Google
in New York.
Google takes its casual Silicon Valley style to the Big City of Dreams
with a brand new office in New York's Rockefeller Center. Don't
expect to see engineers bouncing on brightly colored rubber balls,
however. The office is home to our national sales team who are set to
tackle Madison Avenue and convince them that Google is best way to
target their advertising effectively. With our ad clickthrough rates
at 4-5 times the industry average, Google seems to have found a way to
make ads as relevant as search results.
