Google to Announce Q4 2008 Results on January 22, 2009 (Same Day as Microsoft)
Google has announced that its earnings call for the fourth quarter of 2008 will occur on Thursday, January 22, 2009 at 1:30pm PST (4:30pm for East Coasters). The call can be accessed live at http://investor.google.com/webcast.html.
Guess who else is holding their earnings call that day? Microsoft. Their call will begin one hour later and can be accessed at http://www.microsoft.com/msft.
We've already seen indications that the fourth quarter was a rollercoaster for search advertising. This is likely to have much more of an effect on Google than Microsoft, who will benefit from strong Xbox 360 sales during the holidays and be affected by the larger software and enterprise offerings of their overall business.

I think Google will see a slowdown like everyone else. I spend money on Google paid search for my website http://www.nuuvoo.com. The keyword bid amounts have been dropping and I am consistently seeing my ad budget hitting its daily limit which was not the case before. My guess is that many of my competitors are reducing their budgets and bid amounts causing my bid amounts to be competitive. We will know in 24 hours.
