Google makes the vast majority of their money off advertising and data

By selling the service of targeting and delivering ads, not by selling personal information.



Kind of, but really they -are- selling personal information, just not outright. You advertise with Google and get to see the demos, trends, etc so you can target your own ads. It's almost like a SaaS for data mining, especially when you pair it with analytics...which of course you do, that's what goals in analytics are for.
