NichePursuits.com - Meet the Man Killing Google Search...

Who is responsible for Google's core product...search?

Google's head of search has recently been in the news as he called an all hands on deck meeting to tell Google employees of a new operating reality.

Google Search is facing intense competition, decreased query growth, and softening revenue.

But who is responsible for the direction Google has taken over the last several years?

Well, none other than Prabhakar Raghavan, the man leading the search team.

And recently emails have been made public by the DOJ legal case vs. Google are revealing just how much infighting has gone on in Google behind the scenes.

This mans previous job?

Leading the Google Ads unit. Which had lead to an intense push to squeeze every last dollar out of search...

Before that?

He's the guy that took Yahoo Search dominance from 35% to just 15% at the end of his tenure.

Seems like the perfect guy to hire...

However, there's MUCH more to this story.

Jared and I dive deep into what's going on.
