    Google’s ad search revenue amounted to 175 billion

    That includes way more than search:

    That “search and other” figure includes revenue generated on Google’s search properties, along with ads on other Google-owned properties like Gmail, Maps and the Google Play app store.

    I couldn’t find a reliable source for a breakdown, so I’ll use Microsoft Bing statistics instead:

    • $12.2B ad revenue in 2023
    • ~1.3 billion unique visitors globally as of March 2023
    • $9.66 Bing revenue per user

    That last number is really close to my $1/month figure.

    So something around $1/month range seems like a fair replacement for ad revenue for a search engine.
