In move against rivals, Google beefs up financial website
WASHINGTON - Google Inc. plans to expand its finance website by adding more historical data and company filings as it tries to gain ground on more-popular services from Yahoo Inc. and AOL.
The company will also seek to improve its two-year-old finance site by offering real-time stock prices from the New York Stock Exchange on a permanent basis, said R.J. Pittman, director of product management.
Google's finance pages had 1.04 million US visitors last month, ranking 22nd on researcher ComScore Inc.'s list of top financial sites.
