<description><![CDATA[The number of click ads in January was essentially the same as it was in the same month a year earlier, and dipped seven percent from December, a month known for major holiday shopping, according to industry-tracker comScore.Google's stock price dipped below 448 dollars per share on Tuesday but was 462.55 dollars in after-hours trading at 23h00 GMT, representing a five percent drop for the day.Investors evidently fear the comScore figures signal an end to Google's years of exponential revenue growth.&quot;The difficulty is that Google is being measured by high growth year over year that has been holding the stock price up,&quot; said analyst Rob Enderle of Enderle Group in Silicon Valley.&quot;Any reduction in growth rate is going to have a catastrophic effect. When the market is already nervous about going into a recession the combination will cause the stock to trade down.&quot;<br/><br/>5 Vote(s) ]]></description>
