Google-owned sites generated a whopping $10.55 billion, or 67% of total Google segment revenues. Its partner sites brought in $3.52 billion, while other revenues stood at $1.65 billion. Paid clicks grew by 13 percent quarter on quarter, but the cost per click was down 2 percent compared to the last quarter.
