Take mobile, for example: Users are increasingly using their smartphones and tablets to search for information. It’s very important for us to provide them with a great experience. AdSense has enabled us to have a robust and profitable mobile business that’s growing quickly year on year, and to make big bets moving forward through ads that add to our users’ experience.
