No definitly not I don't think. They've been fairly smart so far and I think they'll come out of this fine..

Google will be around for a long time yet. Their best asset is their people. Google have many of the best computer science minds in the world. . . . They wont struggle to find new areas to exploit even if their main advertising stuff stops making money (which quite frankly, it wont).
All you have to do is look at the insanely large number of things they are working on to see that one of them will eventually reach maturity and make them a load more cash. Amongst many other things it is rumoured that they are working on an OS (I wouldn't be suprised). They have also hired many of the worlds machine translation experts, so expect a new language translation tool to appear. Then add google maps, gmail, google books, google video, google news alerts. They will be able to 'profitise' many of these things just like they have done with their search engine. The future is bright for google.
Oh. . .and if all else fails:
They have (I think) the largest amount of computer power of anyone on the planet. I'm sure they could rent out cpu time for a bob or 2.
