After acquiring Blogger in 2003, Google launched AdSense to target AdWords ads on publisher sites. The combination of AdSense and Blogger.com ushered in the rise of Internet publishing and the blogging revolution. Google probably didn't realize it at the time, but they were creating a problem that they would later have to solve. AdSense has given rise to spammy practices and sites built for AdSense whose sole purpose is to get clicks and money. These sites were thin, empty, and filled with content that was plagiarized from other sites. Another important event occurred in 2003. I founded the site you're on now (Search Engine Journal)!

Big Daddy Update (named by Jeff Manson of RealGeeks) improves the way Google works to understand the value and relationships of links between sites. YouTube, Google Analytics and Webmaster Tools In October 2006, Google acquired YouTube , a user-generated video sharing network that would eventually become the world's second most used search engine, for $1.6 billion . Today, YouTube has over 1 billion users. With its rise in popularity, video SEO has become necessary as a stepping stone to brand, business, and personal success. Google also launched two very important products.
