What is Google's U.S. revenue from AdSense for Content?

Google reported that in 2008 their revenues from AdSense were $6.7 billion but they didn't break out AdSense for Search (aol, ask jeeves, etc.) from Content and didn't break out US vs. international. Does anyone have some educated guesses or respected 3rd party sources that has tried to make an educated guess at this?

I don't know the exact answer and I think it's very difficult to determine the revenue just for content.

Adsense as a whole was $2.7 Billion mark (IN 2005). So you can only imagine what it is now. Google Adsense is one of their biggest revenues and one of their main income aspect of their business. Google is basically an advertising company.

The following are links that might help you get a sense of Google Revenue overall:

"The program is a big revenue generator for Google, too. The company earned some $2.7 billion in Adsense revenues last year (2005)." - USA

I have been wanting to know this for a while too. I've searched the web before for specific details on the revenue from Adsense but didn't find anything.

Paid searches are the source of Googles profits. Microsoft also wants to gain a larger portion of those paid search profits. In 2008, Google made $5 billion in profits and is projected to earn $12 billion in 2009.
