Fun memory, I made like $40K selling Firefox downloads.... on google ads. Learned a lot about google ads and SEO.

That was a lot of money for me as a poor kid from the TL.

Were you paid by Mozilla?
by Google, it was a special google ads program
Yep. Google paid like $2 per download of Firefox. It cost like 5 cents a click, for the "download Firefox" keyword, on Google Ads to bring someone to my website. Profit.
Was that a one off or does Google run other paid promotions like that?
What is the TL?
Possibly SF's tenderloin neighborhood?
I thought it was Timor Leste still makes sense I guess.
