On the other side, Google must be so much better than other search
engines to get so much more hits to earn money with this free service

Google earns nearly all of it's money from advertisements. Google has the

This helped them at the start as it gave them a good overview of what
people are doing. Keeping all those things in the database made them
actually access only 1% of the Internet but 99% of the users were happy
with the result.
Meanwhile, they are better in the searches I do. I have verz often at
least two search engines looking for the same thing to get verz rare
information.
