Despite this roiling change, Google's famously minimalist home page looks almost as it did when the upstart search company owned just 1% of the market. Consider this: Five years ago, Google's home page contained 50 words, 11 links, and zero ads. Today, it contains 49 words, 17 links, and zero ads.

I am monarch of all I crawl,
My right there is none to dispute;
From the blog all round to the scrawl
I am lord of the link and its route.
