It was in 1995 that Sergey Brin, a Soviet born computer scientist and Larry Page, an American computer scientist met at Stanford University as computer science graduates. By Januaryâ 96 both started writing a program on a search engine Backrub which had the quality of back link analysis. After the success of this joint venture, they began their work at Google. They started with making of a server using obsolete, cheap and used PCâs.
The name came from the search engine's use of back-links to determine page relevance. This is a patented algorithm known as PageRank. Brin and Page left Stanford and founded Google, Inc in September of 1998. Google was an instant hit, and by the year 2000, Google was the world's largest search engine. By 2001 it did something that eluded most of the dot.com business startups of the time. Google became profitable. How Google Makes Money. Most services Google provides are free, meaning that the user does not have to pay money to use them.
