Google is taking a big step by opening up to display ads.

If it ain't broke, so the saying goes, then don't try to fix it.

Well, when your company is worth billions and dominates its sector, chances are, there's probably not much broken.

Not that this matters to Google. Despite the search engine's phenomenal success, the company's founders seem increasingly intent on tinkering with their product.

With several spin-off products either already launched or on their way, Google last week turned its attention to its advertising model.

Since its launch, the company has been reliant on two main revenue streams: paid-for searches on the main Google site and AdSense. The latter is a programme in which Google places unobtrusive text-based ads on third-party websites. The ads are traditionally paid for on a click-through basis.

Three months ago, Google started allowing AdSense advertisers to switch from text to static display ads. Then, last week Google announced it was updating the programme to incorporate animated display advertising. Google will now charge advertisers on a cost-per-thousand model. In addition, advertisers will be able to place their ads on the websites of their choosing, rather than have Google make the decision for them.
