Every time someone types into Google, they reveal something precious — what they want, right now, in this moment. Google captures that intent and auctions it to advertisers in 200 milliseconds. The advertiser who wins pays only when you click. Google keeps the difference between what the intent is worth and what the advertiser paid. 8.5 billion searches per day. Each one is a micro-auction. Google runs the auction house and takes a cut from every bid.
