Wonder how much Google spent to popularize its search engine...
Worth every penny. I wish I would have thought of it. lol.
Actually it was a rhetorical question :) The answer is none. Google became popular by word of mouth alone, as opposed to Microsoft who spend tens of millions of dollars trying to fool people into buying their shoddy products. I have sworn by Google since 2000 ! Back then it was already the best search engine nobody knew about.
