Google investment in AOL could lead to 2008 IPO

The $1 billion investment Google made in AOL could lead to an IPO in 2008. If Time Warner doesn’t want to pursue an IPO then, it could buy back Google’s 5% stake based on a fair market appraisal.

Based on the Google investment, AOL’s market value stands at $20 billion. Google’s market value has increased from about $23 billion at the time of its IPO to $125 billion today.

Under the new 5-year deal announced this week, AOL will receive a $300 million credit to advertise its content and services through Google’s marketing network. I hope that a large portion of that goes into AdSense.

Google is also using AOL to sell more graphical ads to diversify beyond text-based ads. I think this is a bad move. Text has better information (thus more inline with Google’s mission). Graphical ads instead are filled with hype and are designed to grab your attention, despite being utterly useless.

AOL’s instant messaging service will become compatible with the 4-month-old Google Talk next year, but Google users will have to register with AOL to gain access to the expanded network.

Further, a provision of the deal requires Google to help AOL make its material easier to index. This is akin to giving AOL preferential treatment in the Google search engine. Of course, Marissa Mayer, Google’s VP of search products and user content, says, “Business partnerships will never compromise the integrity or objectivity of our search results.”

    Good day, sun shines!
    There have been times of hardship when I didn’t know about opportunities of getting high yields on investments. I was a dump and downright pessimistic person.
    I have never imagined that there weren’t any need in big initial investment.
    Now, I’m happy and lucky , I begin take up real money.
    It gets down to select a correct companion who uses your funds in a right way – that is incorporate it in real business, parts and divides the profit with me.

    You may get interested, if there are such firms? I’m obliged to tell the truth, YES, there are. Please get to know about one of them:

    Hi there!
    I would like to burn a theme at here. There is such a thing, called HYIP, or High Yield Investment Program. It reminds of financial piramyde, but in rare cases one may happen to meet a company that really pays up to 2% daily not on invested money, but from real profits.

    For several years , I make money with the help of these programs.
    I don’t have problems with money now, but there are heights that must be conquered . I make 2G daily, and my first investment was 500 dollars only.
    Right now, I managed to catch a guaranteed variant to make a sharp rise . Visit my web site to get additional info.
