Google co-founders to sell $5.5B combined in stock
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- Google Inc. co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin are relinquishing some of their control over the Internet search leader with the sale of 10 million shares worth $5.5 billion at current prices.
Under a plan disclosed Friday, the longtime business partners will each sell 5 million Google shares during a five-year period that will commence with the first trade.
The sales will occur periodically to lessen the chances of hurting Google's stock price.
Page and Brin, both 36, will remain Google's most influential shareholders, although they will be losing some of their clout.
The two iconoclasts own a special class of Google stock that gives them combined voting power of about 59 percent -- enough to override the wishes of all other shareholders if they wanted. The duo secured this veto power to ensure Google remained true to their values, which are summed up in the company motto, "Don't Be Evil."
After the sales, the founders' holdings will be whittled to a combined 47.7 million shares with 48 percent voting power.
Falling below the 50 percent threshold might not matter because they run Google as a ruling triumvirate with the company's chief executive, Eric Schmidt, whose shares hold 10 percent voting power.
Although the trio acknowledge occasional disagreements, they insist they always work things out amicably. What's more, Schmidt, Page and Brin have agreed to remain at Google at least through 2024.
Executives and founders of companies commonly enter into predetermined stock trading plans to raise cash and diversify their investments.
Page and Brin each currently have about $16 billion of their fortunes tied up in Google stock. By their own choice, their annual salary at Google is just $1.
"They are both as committed as ever to Google and are integrally involved in our day-to-day management and product strategy," Google spokeswoman Jane Penner said. "The majority of their net worth remains with Google."
This marks the second time Page and Brin have sold big chunks of stock since Google went public in August 2004.
Three months after the company's initial public offering, Page and Brin filed an 18-month plan that divested 7.2 million shares apiece.
Back then, Google shares were trading around $169.40. The stock is worth three times as much now, closing at $550.01 Friday after falling $32.97, or 5.7 percent.

SEO in 2010
Hi All,
I am just wondering where SEO industry will be say couple of years down the line. With search engines getting clever day by, algorithms of search engine getting more complex. I am sure in this year article and blog publishing ill get some negative edge from google and publishing articles and blogs will not remain a successful search engine marketing stratgey more. It will work but to take the competitive edge you will need to work smarter with all the SEO practices you know. If you have any thing particular about search engine behaviour then do let me know we can have discussion on that.
Either post a comment at tis blog or send me message at Twitter.

Google sitelinks Dilemma
Google Sitelinks are links to internal pages of a website that google may show along with web snippet in search results. However I am curious to know if anyone has faced this situation or not. Google webmster central is showing sitelinks in the login dashboard of a site, however when I search for the site name no sitelinks are displayed.
Just confused over this for a long time. !!
