Google posts Q4 earnings results; Revenue up 36% while profits only up 7% year over year

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota

While all eyes will be on Apple's earnings report tomorrow, Google earlier today released its earnings results from Q4 2012 and posted revenue of $14.42 billion, a figure which would have been $15.24 billion if revenue from Motorola Home was included.

"We ended 2012 with a strong quarter,” Google CEO Larry Page said in a press release. "Revenues were up 36% year-on-year, and 8% quarter-on-quarter. And we hit $50 billion in revenues for the first time last year – not a bad achievement in just a decade and a half. In today’s multi-screen world we face tremendous opportunities as a technology company focused on user benefit. It’s an incredibly exciting time to be at Google.”

But enough about revenue, how much did Google actually take home in profit last quarter?

Well, the recorded $2.9 billion in profit, or $8.62 a share. By way of contrast, during the same quarter a year-ago, Google posted a profit of $2.7 billion or earnings of $8.22 per share.

So while Google's revenues are up an impressive 36%, its net profit only grew by about 7.5% Analysts were anticipating EPS of $10.57 on revenue of $12.38 billion. It'll be interesting to see how the market rewards or punishes Google for their revenue growth and slower-than-anticipated profit growth.

Some other notes of interest from Google's earnings report include:

The number of aggregate paid clicks at Google during the last quarter rose by approximately 24% from the same quarter a year-ago.

Cost-per-click rates, however, decreased by 6% year over year.

Google spent more than $1 billion on infrastructure in the last quarter, representing the company's second largest quarterly infrastructure expenditure in history.

And conspicuously absent from Google's earnings report was any mention of Google+.

November 28th, 2012

A broad definition of web traffic is simply the number of visitors to your website. It can be direct traffic, search engine traffic, or referral traffic. Web traffic not only includes the number of visitors to your website, but also the number of pages on your website each person visits. Successful website owners are constantly gathering and analyzing statistical data from their websites to understand and better serve their website traffic. There are several methods online for generating both paid and free website traffic to your website.

Search engine optimization (SEO) and pay per click advertising are two basic and fairly well known strategies for promoting your eCommerce business online. There are also other low cost or no cost methods available for sending free website visitors to your online store. Certain internet marketing strategies allow you to leverage the traffic and popularity of other online resources. Never before in the history of business has free marketing and advertising been so readily available and profitable as it has been in the internet/e-commerce age.

Here are seven internet marketing strategies that allow you to leverage to traffic and popularity of other websites and will help you increase traffic to your website.

Blogs exist that allow guest bloggers and article writers. Write a blog post and submit it as a guest blogger. Search online for bloggers seeking content.Take advantage of article marketing by writing online article and submitting them to the top article submission websites. Go to google.com and search for “article submission sites”.Start an affiliate program that rewards and compensates others for marketing and advertising your products and services online. Write articles and ad copy that you can distribute to your affiliates to be used as marketing text. Your affiliates will use the content you provided on their websites or blogs. Not only does this help drive qualified traffic to your website, but it also provides backlinks to your site. Affiliates are highly motivated, because when a customer makes a purchase on your website, the affiliate makes a commission.Video is the online medium in highest demand. Think of it this way … The majority of people would rather see the movie than read the book. It is the same online. Internet users in many instances would rather watch a video of you reading an online article to them than actually reading the article themselves. YouTube has made it very easy to record, upload, optimize, and market video online. There is no reason not to use video as a fun and easy marketing strategy.Webinars or online seminars have become a very popular method of bringing people together to experience an online presentation. Participate in numerous webinars, where you are either the presenter or the guest. In either case you can contribute to the webinar and include your credentials as the ownerofyourwebsite.com.Participate in forums or on message boards. Take a unique stance or play the devil’s advocate on a topic, even if you do not necessarily side with the opinion you are presenting. Your unique opinion will spark conversation and discussion. Opportunities to market yourself and your website will then arise.Create “Top 10 Lists” that review and promote the products and services of others. This is especially effective for those participating in affiliate marketing, because each of the products reviewed provides an opportunity to include an affiliate link. Lists such as these are highly trafficked, because they present information in a quick and easily digestible format. Make sure to include links to your website and products in the review list as well.

Pay per click marketing and search engine optimization are effective and even necessary marketing strategies to implement to promote your online business and drive traffic to your eCommerce website. However, these are not the only methods online for promoting and advertising. You can and should participate in the online community surrounding the main topic of your website. Being a guest blogger, writing and publishing articles, creating and marketing videos about your products, producing product review lists, and participating in online message boards and forums are just a few of the ways you can utilize the success of others to increase your success. Through these ideas and tips you can gain visitors and customers by piggybacking off the popularity and success of these other online platforms.

Apple posts record revenue and profits; iPhone sales jump nearly 30% while iPad sales up nearly 50%

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota

Apple just posted its earnings results from the 2012 holiday quarter and posted revenue of $54.5 billion, net profit of $13.1 billion and EPS of $13.81. During the same quarter a year ago, Apple posted revenue of $46.33 billion and profits of $13.06 billion, resulting in EPS of $13.87.

It's important to note, though, that last year's holiday quarter earnings results comprised 14 weeks while the most recent quarter comprised 13 weeks. Consequently, Apple's record-setting revenue and profits this past quarter are made all the more impressive.

So while everyone was busy predicting the decline of Apple, its revenue grew by 17% and its profits remained strong. The consensus was that Apple would deliver about $54.74 billion in revenue and EPS of $13.45. As such, Apple slightly missed expectations with respect to revenue, but really nailed it out of the park when it came to what really matters - profitability.

Product-wise, Apple sold 47.8 million iPhones, 22.9 million iPads, and 4.1 million Macs. iPhone sales grew by nearly 30% while iPad sales increased by nearly 50%. iPod sales checked in at 12.7 million units compared to 15.4 million in the same quarter a year ago. And, adjusting for the extra week during last holiday's quarter, Horace Dediu notes that on an adjusted basis, iPhone sales grew by 37% while iPad sales grew by 60%.

Mac sales were down quarter-over-quarter, from 5.1 billion Macs down to 4.1 million, but Tim Cook noted during Apple's earnings conference call that the new iMac wasn't available for two out of the first three months of the quarter.

“We’re thrilled with record revenue of over $54 billion and sales of over 75 million iOS devices in a single quarter,” Tim Cook said in Apple's press release. “We’re very confident in our product pipeline as we continue to focus on innovation and making the best products in the world.”

Looking ahead, Apple issued the following guidance for its earnings next quarter: revenue between $41 billion and $43 billion. Apple now has about $137 billion in cash.

In after-hours trading, shares of Apple were down to $480, a 6% drop. Absurd that Apple continues to make money hand-over-fist, deliver double-digit growth across its two most profitable product lines, and the street is still disappointed.

During Apple's earnings conference call, Tim Cook noted that Apple to date has sold over 500 million iOS devices.

Less production, supply driving automakers'' profits

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota
Automakers have trimmed production, which has helped boost profits.

Even though consumers aren't buying new cars at the same rate they used to, the automotive industry is performing quite well, according to The Wall Street Journal*.

This was illustrated by a large proportion of automakers which recently reported their sales totals for January. As compiled by the Detroit Free Press**, Chrysler generated a 44 percent sales increase compared to the same month last year—moving more than 101,100 vehicles—making January 2012 its best start to the year since 2008. Fellow American car maker Ford also fared favorably, with sales totals up a more modest 7 percent.

Michael Jackson, chairman and CEO of Ford, said the entire automotive industry went through a significant transformation after receiving a bailout from the government.

"It is a new world," Jackson told the Wall Street Journal.

Automakers have reduced operating costs

Instead of oversupplying their inventories, Jackson noted that automakers have generally been trimming back on their supply levels so that output is more commensurate with demand. In addition, instead of relying on discounted offers to stimulate demand, manufacturers have implemented some of the things that surveys have suggested consumers want, such as putting more of an emphasis on the quality of vehicles' exterior design.

"This type of behavior simply didn't exist in the U.S. auto industry for 40 years," Jackson told the newspaper.

Last year, automakers sold approximately 13 million cars and light trucks throughout the U.S. At one time, that amount of automobiles sold would be viewed as a negative for the car industry as a whole. But today, it translates into a boon for the sector, according to Peter Nesvold, a leading financial analyst expert, in an interview with the Journal.

Closing plants reduced production capacity by 30 percent

He noted that today's automakers have reduced their operating costs significantly by closing down factories that aren't producing as much as they used to. This has reduced production capacity considerably but also helped to offset losses experienced during prolonged periods of reduced buying among consumers.

"Supply and demand are roughly equal, and that's healthy," Nesvold told the newspaper.

Sales haven't improved for everyone, however. As the Detroit Free Press reports, General Motors sustained a net loss for car sales in January, falling by 6 percent year-over-year. This may stem, in part, from the bankruptcy filed by Saab in late December, which GM owned.

Overall, however, automakers' sales climbed in January, with Nissan, Toyota, Hyundai and Honda all reporting increases in sales volume, according to the Detroit Free Press.

Day Trading Profits Secrets - Trading ETF's


Trading an ETF or Exchange Traded Fund is a viable option to trading some of the big futures contracts such as Natural Gas and Gold. The reason to do this would be to use a much smaller margin and reduce your risk exposure to the trade. ETF's are similar to traditional mutual funds, they are structured as open end management companies. ETF's are Traded as CFD's. (contract for difference) Have a look on your trading platform. You will see the full range available.

To simplify, an ETF is a way of trading a group of, or single commodities in much the same way as you would trade stocks and shares. If for example you wanted to trade 1 Natural Gas futures contract your margin would be around $7000,(57,000) but you could get exposure to this market by trading 10,000 ETF's-CFD's, with a margin as small as $550. ($106,000)

In the above example the futures contract has a higher margin cost for a lower overall contract value, but the value per point is much higher for the futures contract and therefore is considered to be far more risky, hence the higher margin.

This may sound confusing but those familiar with trading stocks as CFD's will have no trouble adapting to the ETF. Another reason you may want to trade them is that, say you want to trade gold, but your not sure about taking a futures trade. You could buy some stocks or CFD's in a gold mining company.

The problem here is that the value of the stock may not be linked to the gold price, if for example the gold mining company was having some management or location problems. A gold mine in Tanzania is a t risk of theft; this could affect its price even if the price of gold was rising.

So now you could buy some ETF CFD's in Gold. You control your exposure. And you can buy and sell in the blink of an eye as with any other platform traded instrument. If you are a more sophisticated trader you may use your old ETF's as a hedge for your gold futures contracts.

In this example

Here is a list of some of the most common.

DBA power shares agricultural fund wheat corn and soya beans

DBD base metals fund aluminum copper

DBC general overall commodity index, heavily weighted to crude oil

DBE energy fund crude heating natural gas

DBO pure oil fund replicates behaviour to oil

DBP precious metals gold and silver

DBS silver fund

DGL pure gold fund

UNG natural gas fund

Don't let the unfamiliarity of any traded product stop you. It is just a matter of researching the market and asking questions of your broker. But be sure you have a good understanding before trading.

ETF's are similar to traditional mutual funds, they are structured as open end management companies. ETF's are Traded as CFD's. (contract for difference) Have a look on your trading platform. You will see the full range available.

To simplify, an ETF is a way of trading a group of, or single commodities in much the same way as you would trade stocks and shares. If for example you wanted to trade 1 Natural Gas futures contract your margin would be around $7000,(57,000) but you could get exposure to this market by trading 10,000 ETF's-CFD's, with a margin as small as $550. ($106,000)

In the above example the futures contract has a higher margin cost for a lower overall contract value, but the value per point is much higher for the futures contract and therefore is considered to be far more risky, hence the higher margin.

This may sound confusing but those familiar with trading stocks as CFD's will have no trouble adapting to the ETF. Another reason you may want to trade them is that, say you want to trade gold, but your not sure about taking a futures trade. You could buy some stocks or CFD's in a gold mining company.

The problem here is that the value of the stock may not be linked to the gold price, if for example the gold mining company was having some management or location problems. A gold mine in Tanzania is a t risk of theft; this could affect its price even if the price of gold was rising.

So now you could buy some ETF CFD's in Gold. You control your exposure. And you can buy and sell in the blink of an eye as with any other platform traded instrument. If you are a more sophisticated trader you may use your old ETF's as a hedge for your gold futures contracts.

In this example

Here is a list of some of the most common.

DBA power shares agricultural fund wheat corn and soya beans

DBC general overall commodity index, heavily weighted to crude oil

DBE energy fund crude heating natural gas

DBO pure oil fund replicates behaviour to oil

DBP precious metals gold and silver

Don't let the unfamiliarity of any traded product stop you. It is just a matter of researching the market and asking questions of your broker. But be sure you have a good understanding before trading.
