When you make a search on Google, the first top results are sponspored ads. Those ads are expensive.

since we the consumers bought our respective Data(mb,gb)etc from our respective service providers like MTN,AITEL,GLO,9mobile etc or did they had any partner ship among the two(2) parties

Your network provider is also paying big satellite company.. Everything work like a system

Personally, I have also been wondering how they make money from users of their sites.

Now, based on this response, is it just from adverts they make money and become super rich? As in Mark Zuckerberg? sad

Digital ad is very expensive.. I mean very expensive.. $10 spending on Facebook likes can't get you less than 150likes and not all those likes will be active

If you have a Facebook page and make a post on your timelines, less than 15% fans get to read it on their timelines , other will have to visit your page directly, if you want instant appearing, then you have to promote

They also make money from the amount of data you consumed on browsing through their websites

Though I don't understand the first part completely, but I'm more interested in the emboldened for now. As in, how do they make money from my data when they are not the service providers?

For instance, I dont subscribe for data from any network during working hours. I use free WIFI in my place of work, and the internet service itself is not from any of these telecom service providers. So how do they still make their money from these?

The wifi is from another telecom service providers majorly unknown. Your company must have paid for monthly unlimited data..

People actually don't know that internet network providers are cheating us cos the data they are selling are expensive..

if you registered an email account like Yahoo for example and they ask for your number for verification, receiving those sms are not free they must have deducted the fee from your bundles.

They also make reasonable money from selling email leads ( email address and data ( Personal details.. That's also expensive.. . You might have come across " We accept cookies" message when opening a website, they are simply telling you that your information will be stored on their website for research purposes ( Selling)

Some websites sell just 1 email leads as low as $5

The bold is extremely wrong and misleading.

Some of us do alot of research, especially in the field of science, and a great preponderance of the top listed materials we encounter aren't sponsored ads but published research articles.

Appears you like arguing unnecessarily sometimes.

I am simply telling you that not all are sponsored ads. Some are simply publications that best match what one is searching for as per word for word.

Think about this. How does your local radio station makes money from you the listener? Answer is they don't. They make money from those who have a product, service, idea, propaganda, etc to advertise to these listeners.

Google and Co have nothing to do with your subscription data plan. They make money from all those firms and organizations trying to advertise to you. This is really huge money. In 2019, Google ad revenue was around $135 billion.

I have ask Google

See their response to me below:

The main way Google generates its revenue is through a pair of advertising services called Ads and AdSense. With Ads, advertisers submit ads to Google that include a list of keywords relating to a product, service or business. When a Google user searches the Web using one or more of those keywords, the ad appears on the SERP in a sidebar. The advertiser pays Google every time a user clicks on the ad and is directed toward the advertiser's site.

Google has multiple ways of generating revenue beyond private investment or selling shares of its stock. Google uses several methods to partner with merchants and advertisers: Google Pay, Google Ads, Google AdSense and Google Analytics are some.

I know those ones are to be ads but the one that do bothers me is WHATSAPP. After all I've never their ads.
Re: How do companies like Facebook and Google make their money? by grandstar(m): 1:04am On Apr 26, 2020
Advertising is the primary source of profits for both companies.

Google is the world's largest advertising company.

When you browse and you see the same adverts following you everywhere, those adverts are from Google.

All those adverts on YouTube are through Google. Google owns YouTube.

Google and YouTube are the top 2 search engines in the world
