Google’s Q2 2007 results were announced today. The search giant reached a record $3.87 billion in total revenue, a 58% increase over Q2 2006. During the second quarter of 2006, Google’s revenues tapped out at around $2.46 billion. In the first quarter of this year, it earned $3.66 billion. Q2’s revenue represents a 9% growth over Q1 2007.

Total revenue from actual Google sites was $2.49 billion, while its “network revenues” reached $1.35 billion. This counts money earned from partner sites that are connected to Google’s AdSense program. Google also once again showed strength in the international market. $1.84 billion, or 48% of all revenue, came from markets outside the United States. A large part of that was the United Kingdom, from which $600 million in revenue was generated.

Each of these revenue numbers is a record for Google. However, profits were down compared to last quarter. Operating income, or the amount of revenue before interest and taxes, totaled $1.1 billion this quarter. That’s down 9.8% compared to the first quarter figure of $1.22 billion.
