self-employed affiliate marketer in late 2004. He joined several
companies’ affiliate programs and immediately began paying for and
placing ads on their behalf with Google and other well-traveled
search engines. In only his first full year of business (2005), he
made over a million dollars on Google as a search marketer and
affiliate advertiser, and repeated this performance in 2006.

results, and maximizing profits, and is eager to lead other
entrepreneurs to the same kind of success.
