I would never pay for google..I've already got all that stuff free anyways. If they start charging to use google search so many people will stop using it and use something else, like yahoo.

lol Of course I wouldn't pay money to use Google. Sure it is a really good search engine and I use it the most, but if they have enough money

There is still MSN, Yahoo, Alltheweb, and so on. Then again it is only $60 a year, but still that's pretty sad if you pay to use a search engine when others are free. Maybe if others start charging then sure I'll pay for google.

NO, I could use MSN (shudder) search
yahoo mail, I don't need google earth, and have already downloaded picasa, blogger is replacable by wordpress (or simmilars) in free hosting, Hello, could be replaced by many chat clients, talk is replacable by skype, and so on and so forth, there are not very many unique things offered by google, I just use them because they are better, but not $5 a month better.

Why would you pay for Google? Everything they provide can be found in various other places. Yes, it's nice to have everything in one place, but I wouldn't pay for that advantage.

I would not pay to use google search as they are many alternatives almost as good. But I would gladly pay more than $5 per month for their other services like gmail, picasa, blogger and google earth. Those are quality products that don't have alternatives anywhere as good in my opinion.

If Google did obtain an system for which you would have to pay for, I think that not only people would stop using it but a new and equal search engine could be brought out to replace it by Microsoft or Yahoo. I think Google would only lose in the end. I definetly wouldn't pay but ofcourse it's always my homepage and the most used engine by myselfs

Well, I will not pay 5$/month to Google!

The reason is that they stress on things for free and if they start charging then there marketting strategy will go down...and for the time you can see the responce of other members. Most of them will be great fans of google...like most of us!

I would pay $5 a month for using all of Google's features.

Gmail has 2.5 gigs of space, a search inside the mail, and tons of other features. That right there is worth more than $5.

Google Adsense pays me $50 a month for advertising, so that's a $45 gain on money, a definite use.

Google Images is where I find all the images I need for my school projects, homework, and resources for other things. That's a major plus.

Google News is a quick and fast resource that I can rely on to provide me with the very newest and oldest of news. It says over 4,000 resources updated hourly are used.

Now the main part -- the Google search engine. I find everything I would ever need with Google, I never use any other search engine because google finds it on the first try. The search also has the "define" function, so I can find the definition of any word that I need.. and scholastic information on other topics as well.

That's why I would pay $5 a month to use google's features, and there are dozens more or reasons.

No way, No siree. I won't pay for Google in this life. One of the most important assets of Google services above all is that they are free. The service only comes later. For example, Google earth was previously Keyhole Pro which costed $50/yr.which they bought and offered to users for free. It is only then that users really started using it.f google were paid I'd say, Astalavista, Google!

I would not pay~!! I make very little money.....I make about 5 bucks a year........ I only liked Google because all of it's free applications like Chrome and Desktop. I would hate Google for doing that.

Google's services take a large role in my daily life as a student. I always use their document applications, they're fast, and get the job done. In the long run, $5/month isn't that bad, at all. Along with the documents, I find that gmail is a great email service.

I'd be happy to pay, I need to use them for school work an such anyway

Why would I pay for some thing that I can get free else where? I think google earth is cool but I hardly ever use it so there is no way I would pay for that. I use google as a search enginge more than any other search engine but if I had to pay that would change real fast because I can go else where to get the same thing but for free like yahoo and ask. I was thinking about starting to use google's ad thing but if they started asking for money to use it I wouldn't even think about using it. Google offers a lot of stuff that makes it the number one search engine but if they start making it cost money they will no longer be number one because no one want to pay for stuff they can get some where else for free. Although if every search enging started making you pay five dollars I would stay will google because they have a lot of features that I love and they are the only place I know of that has all those features in one place and it's all free. So to wrap it all up Google is my favorite search engine but as long as some other place is free I would never pay to use google.

It depends, if just search engine definitely not... if some particular service that might not be available anywhere else for free, I'd rather pay Google than other companies if they keep the same efficiency and ease of use they show in other services... but basically I find it hard to have to pay for any internet service, normally there is always a free one that does the job

unless we're talking about a very specific task or a business environment...

Hello!

There is no way I would pay for something that I already have or can find on other places. There are many other website to make searches like yahoo, altavista and so on. Eventually, I would maybe pay if it would cost 5 - 10 dollars lifetime, but otherwise, no need. I presume it would be possible anyways to find Google searches from other sites I mean: I go on yahoo, for example, and type something in and it does a search on Google from yahoo. I don't know if it is possible now, but if Google ever make it's visitors pay to get their services, it will be this way.

In the other hand, I don't think that they will make it a paying website, because they already make a little fortune on advertisings. Imagine if it started to make it paying means that 3/4 of visitors would be gone and so nobody to see their advertisings!
