Google became popular in the US and Canada during 2000-2004. The popularity for general internet search engines grew slowly until it rapidly began to grow at least in part due to AdWords, which allowed people to pay per click on ads for a search.

Estimates range from 2001-2006. There are also many factors that may have contributed to its increase in popularity such as the fact that Google is easy and accessible on any computer unlike other competitors like Lycos or Excite at the time. They offered slower browsing speeds because they required plug ins and did not.

2001 By 2001, google would be indexed over 1 billion pages per day on the remaining hardware using MySQL database software on Linux servers. Later that same year, IBM started supplying computing horsepower for Google's search engine infrastructure under agreements valued
