It's advertising. Companies like google and facebook are what is known as targeted advertising companies. That is to say, they collect as much information about you as possible, and match advertisers to you, so you're more likely to visit the advertisers website and make a purchase. That's the source of their income.

For Facebook, it's advertising, Facebook's cut of the money people spend to buy Facebook credits to buy virtual items in Facebook games, and they sell some of the data they mine (such as trend analysis).

Some of the most popular online business ideas include an EBay shop. Another is trading on the stock market, while some people look to opportunities in Internet Marketing. Each of these can certainly offer ways to make money.

All the income on the internet comes from advertisement. People get advertises from companies to paste on there websites and they get reward to do this from the advertiser companies.
