Next Up for Google's Portal: New Front Page?


Despite the addition of Google Calendar (thanks to John Battelle) Finance, Real Estate, et al, Google will no doubt still insist that it is not a portal, and will go on insisting so until it finally relents and adds some more links to its front page. When it finally does add such links, however--and, perhaps, a few advertisements to go with them--it will be helping not only shareholders but users.

For those seeking general categories--Real Estate, Finance, etc.--clicking links is easier than typing in a search window. Yes, they clutter up the page, but for the added convenience, who cares. And as previously estimated, even with only an ad or two, the front page could likely bring in an additional $1-$2 million of super-high-margin revenue per day. For those interested in the company's bottom line, that's at least $125-$250 million of additional free cash flow per year ($0.50-$1.00 per share).
