  • Google Sniper 2 – How To Get A 98% Discount On The Price Of Google Sniper 2

    An email arrived in my inbox the other day promoting Google Sniper 2. Even though I like to keep an eye on things related to niche sites and auto blogging, I never even looked at the original Google Sniper when it came out (dunno why, must have been busy or something). So I thought I…
