This is actually a pretty genius idea, but as pointed out by others this site looks old (evident by the design and inaccurate stock price). I also think the way Google shares work is that you can never truly own a meaningful share of Google via public shares.

#13FYI, in many European countries periods and commas in numbers are the reverse of how we use them in English- 405.413,19 is actually 405,413.19

Re: Google Will Eat Itself
#15This is a pretty genius idea. Use Google to buy Google stock. With the current share price, buying shares isn't exactly cheap. But collecting cash from their service is an effective way to reap the benefits of corporate growth in another way.
Similarly: buying Tesla (TSLA) stock when it was cheap because you couldn't afford the Model S....and now you can afford it.
That being said, it would seem that there would need to be a rather large network of sites and AdSense links to earn enough money to buy a share. Reminds me of the cost-benefit ratio of mining bitcoin.

It is really old, I think the first time that I saw it was in mid 2001

It date back at least to 2005-2006 if you look at their press release: http://gwei.org/pages/press/press.html
The letter from google is also dated 2006: http://gwei.org/pages/google/legalletter1.html

Especially with the impending stock split. It is more for capital gains than controlling a voting percentage of shares.

#20"202.345.117 Years until GWEI fully owns Google." So close!
It seems based on that web design we could probably strike 6 - 8 years off the wait. But agree still a fair way to go.
