Groupon’s deal with Yahoo fell through the cracks and Groupon settled with Google by taking in less than what Yahoo was offering. Groupon was worth $1.3 billion earlier this year. It also had a revenue stream of about $50 million per month.
Groupon’s business model is what Google will be cashing in on. Groupon works like a massive advertising network with discounts enticing people to visit affiliate sites. It has about 20 million subscribers in about 29 countries which would give a diverse audience for Google to market its products to.
