Much water has run under all bridges since Larry Page and Sergey brin they founded over there in 1998 a company called Google.
There was no PageRank.
At the same time you will remember that nobody talked about Search Engine Optimization. Nor to monetize websites with advertising.
Google AdSense. Poof, not to mention.
In the world before 1998, no web enthusiast - not even the most cutting-edge - put on their resume that he was an SEO expert. Because that didn't exist.
And it is that in those days nobody associated penguins and pandas with algorithms from search engines.
The search engines were imprecise. The internet was different. And nobody saw Google as a future colossus.
Much has changed since those days.
Today Google it's huge. The Internet at the same time changed and without any doubt Google has something to do with it.
Now in this present we all somehow work with a tool made by Google.
Why use google tools?
Because it is difficult to conceive of the internet without them.
There is no web project, either personal or company, that does not take into account the aforementioned search engine.
Most of the profits created by the duo's company Page and Brin they are taken as industry standards.
