Taking risks is an essential ingredient in growing a business. From making changes in a website to expanding into another area, all is laden with risk.

When Google first started, you basically just earned a certain percentage of whatever the AdWords advertiser was paying per click.It was pretty simple.

Clicks from some sites were more valuable than others, at
