what happened with the google shares

Google shares dropped down from a 711 dollar in november to a low of 464 yesterday.
A drop of 40%, where did this come from?

The 464 dollar is the same as october 2006.

One of the main reasons seem to be the fact that consumers click on advertising a lot less than they used to do in the last two years.

As always said , google is in the search market, which is a changing landscape and will be even more in the next coming 12 months. Search and more detailed " advertising on search" will change a lot.

which social networks are populair where?
