This Is How Alphabet (Still) Makes Most of Its Money

Kudos to Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOG) (NASDAQ: GOOGL) for looking at opportunities beyond search engines and search-based advertising. YouTube and its cloud computing service arm have been smashing successes, driving at least some of the stock's gains in recent years. These businesses have also smoothed out potential revenue bumps from one quarter to the next.

Just for the record, though, the company's biggest revenue-generating business is still search ... by far. Both Alphabet and its investors should ensure that this remains the focal point, even as it expands its presence in other areas.
