Software giant Google has registered a slightly bigger earning in the fourth quarter of 2012. This comes even after a financial setback the search giant faced on account of attempting device manufacturing and a significantly lower pricing of digital ads. The new results have boosted the Google's stock by 5 per cent.

 

The reason for major revenue would be the ads that inundated the search giant in festival seasons. Google's revenue is $12.1 billion in the fourth quarter which is a 19 per cent increase compared to previous quarter. The company has not included acquisition costs in the revenue.
