The deal guaranteed Myspace $900 million over three years, nearly double the price News Corp had paid to acquire the business. In exchange, Google received exclusive rights to provide Web search results and sponsored links on Myspace. When the deal was signed, Google Chairman Eric Schmidt said "When we looked at what was growing on the Web, all our internal metrics pointed to [Myspace]...It's important to move Google to where users are, and that is where user-generated content is."[35]
