Google's price tumble in the last few weeks has got big focus in the online forums. The question is whether the increased scrutiny that the company is put to may have led to drop in investor confidence.

An excerpt from MarketingVox

comScore analysis reports slow growth in Google's paid click numbers, reports MarketWatch. Paid clicks rose a paltry three percent in February, according to comScore.

The question on most analysts mind is whether the results are a precursor to a slowdown or is it due to the quality increase in clicks as Google claims. Perhaps the results in the next few months will throw more light on the issue. From the quality standpoint it would be fair to give the results more time since quality is an ongoing process.
