No, that's ad companies you're thinking of. Software companies make money by selling services or shipping a product.

Google's a software company last time I checked and most of their money is paid by the click. FYI, if you aren't paying for it your the product.

Google is an ad company. 91% of their revenue comes from selling ads. They just happen to be an ad company that started with a successful search engine.

All the amazing software Google develop is to support their ad business, more or less.
