In the first sizable layoffs in its history, Google is cutting about 300 jobs from the American operations of DoubleClick, the advertising technology company that it acquired recently, according to a person with direct knowledge of Google's plans.

The cuts represent about a quarter of DoubleClick's American work force of about 1,200. The company has about 1,500 employees worldwide, and the chief executive of Google, Eric Schmidt, has suggested that job cuts would also eventually affect DoubleClick's overseas operations.

Google declined to confirm the number of layoffs.
