Google Analyst Day

Wednesday, Google holds its analyst day at the Googleplex in Mountain View, Calif. You can listen to it live from Google’s investor relations Web site.

Analysts will have many questions about where Google is headed and hopefully Google will provide some real answers.

Here are a couple of the most important issues that are sure to come up during the presentation.

* Does Google have bigger plans to expand in social networking, including a possible investment in Facebook?

* Will YouTube and online video advertising ever become a major contributor to revenue and profits?

* Is Google really looking to take on Apple (APPL) in the mobile phone business?

* Is Google concerned about recent enhancements made by Yahoo! (YHOO) and Microsoft (MSFT) to their search engines as well as an increased marketing push by IAC’s (IACI) Ask.com?

* How well is Google’s payment service Google Checkout doing compared to eBay’s (EBAY) PayPal?

* What plans does Google have for online ad placement company DoubleClick — assuming that the deal passes regulatory muster in the U.S. and EU?

* And finally, what does Google intend to do with its $13.1 billion in cash?

Of these topics Google may spend the most time talking about DoubleClick and YouTube and how they fit into Google’s strategy of broadening beyond the keyword search advertising business that still makes up an overwhelming majority of Google’s revenue and profits.
