Google’s revenues has increased and climbed up to 17% in the season of winter of 2013, however, their low cost mobile adverts has decreased and chipped away at the price of the new on-line adverts they have. This information came a day after they announced it was selling the new and popular Motorola Mobile for a fraction of its purchase price. The Advertising revenue rose 17% to $14.07 billion from the year earlier period. Most of their money they revenue came from their on-line site, the search engine and YouTube. Google generated $10.55 billion pound in the last quarter of the season and year, as it jumped to 11% in 2013 for the final quarter of the year. However, Google lost a lot of money via through the Motorola service, as the business loss $384 million pound in 2013.

Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters had expected $16.75 billion. Profits rose 17% to $3.38 billion, or $9.90 a share, up from $2.89 billion , or $8.62 per share, for the same period last year.

“We ended 2013 with another great quarter of momentum and growth,” said Larry Page, chief executive of Google. “We made great progress across a wide range of product improvements and business goals. I'm also very excited about improving people's lives even more with continued hard work on our user experiences.”

Revenue from the Motorola Mobility unit declined 24% to $1.15 billion, while the operating loss for the business was $384 million, up from $248 million  in the prior period.

Sales of the new Motorola phones have not been strong and shareholders have been unhappy about the division’s losses amid intense competition in the mobile hardware market.

Google is a well-known and popular company and business, and is known and used by billions of people every day. By having their own business, where people can search for anything through, which is very popular, they also own video sharing site YouTube, which is also popular, used by billions of people every day, as both businesses are as big and huge as each other. So, of course Google are generating a lot of money every year and increase their shares, because they know that that they are most viewed site on this planet and they are increase and expanding and finding new ways to improve this, like introducing new Google phones and new Google contract lenses and many more things in the future
