Insider Trading at Google

The most recent trade according to Yahoo Finance was 50,000 shares sold at 550-560. The usual volume of the stock shows is about 50,000 shares every 10 minutes. The daily volume has been around 4-8 million shares recently, with a high of 18 million shares. Insider selling at Google (GOOG) may have a significant effect on the stock price, yet the volume is a small percentage of total volume. Also, the data available for insider selling varies from different financial site.
One interesting fact I found was only once has an insider bought shares of Google since it went public.
