Google Marketing Tools DO market for free and I deify anyone or business to come up with a better marketing idea than Google’s world dominating effect online. If you can of course you’re going to become a Trazillionaire, just allow 10-20 years of development and product launching then wait for an even bigger Google to buy you out, simple really, isn’t it?
