Whats by far the best way to expand Google's web search technologies
and general creativity?

You think the answer is really worth just $2? :)

$2 is quite cheap seeing as Google might pay me quite a lot of money
for asking the question don't you think? What I mean is, why don't
Google pay people for really high grade information?

I think the answer lies somewhere really interesting. I am not at
liberty to say at this point.

Thank you for your comment and question.

Can I ask you how you know there is no answer to this question?

Emin didn't say that there is no answer to this question, but that a
well researched answer would require much more research than usually
associated with $2 answers, which are answered by a single link (see:
https://answers.google.com/answers/pricing.html ).
