<p>Google have been in constant battle with legal issues, and even with their relationship with foreign governments. During the past months Google have been in and out of the court room due to the legal issue surrounding their new feature product the Google Books, although several authors and publishers have already agreed with Google there are still some authors and entities that have continued on their anti-trust case against Google. Another challenge that plagued Google is keeping their business relations with one of their biggest client base where they are getting a lot of their foreign internet users’ shares, this Google’s tussle with China. Google have been battling the government of China on issues regarding the censorship of the search engines’ search result. This event forced Google to abandon China as their business center in Asia and transfer their business interest to Google Hongkong. Recent events also have given the search engine giant another problem that is the increase of users’ share on social media network particularly that of Facebook.</p>
<p>With these problems Google investors have been rethinking their investments with the search engine giant. Among the investments that Google may lose is their advertising customers since the announcement of Facebook that they will be fully implementing their advertising services. Aside from that Twitter the microblogging company also has announced that they will be starting their advertising services, thus these moves being done by the social networking sites are threatening to snatch Google’s advertisers.</p>
<p>Another future problem that Google may face is the fact that Apple have already entered the mobile advertising services, thus Google will not enter the mobile advertising service uncontested and thus will not give them the leverage of being the first to launch a mobile advertising service. The problems that are plaguing Google are thus making their investors rethink their investments and the main question remains what will the search engine giant pull out of its hat to overcome these problems and regain the full confidence and trust of their investors?</p>
