Hi, I'm James Graham,
the founder and managing editor of HistoryOrb.com.
It's the biggest, most accurate, "on this day in history" website there is.
I started this site in 2000,
with entries, documenting historical events,
famous birthdays and deaths,
and I've added more events and articles over time.
Today, HistoryOrb.com
is 10 times the size it was when I got started,
and three university graduates, including a PhD history student,
help me part-time with the site.
I signed up for AdSense in 2003
and it was a great match right from the start.
Our AdSense revenue has helped us to achieve our goal of providing more,
better-researched historical information online.
We've reinvested a lot of this revenue in site design
and creating high quality, accurate content.
We've also just recently created a mobile website
and I'm very happy with how AdSense is performing on it.
As for me, I was able to quit my job two years ago
and work on the site full time.
I've also spent much of the last two years travelling South America,
visiting historical places,
and working remotely from all sorts of exotic locations.
My friends and many of the people that I meet while travelling
often say I'm living the dream.
It's AdSense that has made this all possible.
