Do you ever thing about ,how did Google got his valuable topmost record?
Yah!It is very interesting story.

Google starts in January 1996 by Larry Page and Sergey Brin, Ph.D. students at Stanford University.According to some accounts, they disagree about most everything during this first meeting.Larry and Sergey, now Stanford computer science grad students, begin collaborating on a search engine called BackRub.BackRub operates on Stanford servers for more than a year -- eventually taking up too much bandwidth to suit the university.At this time they developed the PageRank algorithm.Analyzing BackRub's output—which, for a given URL, consisted of a list of backlinks ranked by its relevance—it occurred to them that a search engine based on PageRank would produce better results than existing techniques.With webpages have most links to them from other highly relevant Web pages must be the most relevant pages associated with the search, Page and Brin tested their thesis as part of their studies, and laid the foundation for their search engine.Originally the search engine used by the Stanford website have the domain google.stanford.edu.Domain name google.com was registered on September 15, 1997. Then they setup, Google Inc., on September 4, 1998 at a friend's garage in Menlo Park, California.Google name was formed from a mistake "Gogol(the number represented by a 1 followed by one-hundred zeros)" by his friend.
By the end of 1998,google scored aout 6000 millions page.

In March 1999, the company moved into offices at 165 University Avenue in Palo Alto, home to several other noted Silicon Valley technology startups.After quickly outgrowing two other plots, the company leased a complex of buildings in Mountain View at 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway from Silicon Graphics (SGI) in 1999.The company has remained at this location ever since, and the complex has since become known as the Googleplex (a play on the word googolplex, a 1 followed by a googol of zeros). In 2006, Google bought the property from SGI for $319 million.

The Google search engine attracted a loyal following among the growing number of Internet users, who liked its simple design. In 2000, Google started to sell advertisements(ads) associated with search keywords. The ads were text-based to maintain an uncluttered page design and to maximize page loading speed.Keywords were sold based on a combination of price bid and click-throughs, with bidding starting at $.05 per click. This model of selling keyword advertising was pioneered by Goto.com (later renamed Overture Services, before being acquired by Yahoo! and rebranded as Yahoo! Search Marketing).While many of its dot-com rivals failed in the new Internet marketplace, Google quietly rose in stature while generating revenue.
