I imagine that much of the increased profit is due to advertisements
(obvious), but don't forget that in order to penetrate the market, Google
had to be 'kind' and therefore made more modest earnings.
Have a look at the history of GOOG and you will realise that this is nothing
but a fluctuation. What an idiotic article to write about a mere drop. Good
quarterly report often result in drops even when all is very optimistic.
IBM, HP and Microsoft come to mind as practical examples I can recall.
