SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Search giant Google Inc. will join the Nasdaq 100 Index when the closely followed technology benchmark is rebalanced this month, the Nasdaq Stock Market said late Friday.

Eleven other stocks, including Cadence Design Systems (CDNS) , Expedia Inc. (EXPE) and Monster Worldwide (MNST) , will become part of the index when the rebalancing kicks in on the morning of Dec. 19, the Nasdaq (NDAQ) added.

Companies dropping out of the index include Level 3 Communications (LVLT) , Novellus Systems (NVLS) and Sanmina-SCI (SANM) , the stock market said.

The Nasdaq 100 tracks the performance of the 100 largest nonfinancial companies trading on the technology-heavy Nasdaq. About 400 investment products in 34 countries with a notional value of about $120 billion are based on the benchmark.

An exchange-traded fund called the Nasdaq-100 Cubes (QQQQ) is considered a proxy for technology companies. More than 90 million shares of that ETF trade every day, making it the most actively traded equity security in the United States, according to Nasdaq.

Because the Nasdaq 100 is so closely followed, stocks that join the index can sometimes get a boost, while those that drop out can face selling pressure.

The following companies are joining the index, along with Cadence, Expedia, Google and Monster: Activision Inc. (ATVI) , CheckFree Corp. (CKFR) , Discovery Holding Co. (DISCA) , NII Holdings, Inc. (NIHD) , Nvidia Corp. (NVDA) , Patterson-UTI Energy (PTEN) , Red Hat Inc. (RHAT) and Urban Outfitters (URBN) .

These companies are dropping out of the Nasdaq 100: Career Education Corp. (CECO) , Dollar Tree Stores (DLTR) , Intersil Corp. (ISIL, Invitrogen Corp. (IVGN) , Level 3, Millennium Pharmaceuticals (MLNM) , Molex Inc. (MOLX) , Novellus, QLogic Corp. (QLGC) , Sanmina-SCI, Synopsys Inc. (SNPS) and Smurfit-Stone Container Corp. (SSCC)
