They expanded their gallery operations and decided to build free sites to control the traffic themselves. That worked, they re-invested 100% again and decided to control the paysites they send the traffic to. That worked and they continued to re-invest almost 100% of what they made and built themselves into one of the biggest most impressive companies in our industry today. All with almost no money to start. Not to mention these guys came into the market almost 5 years after most of us. These guys are at the top of the industry and they don't drive bentley's or ferrari's or live in $15 million mansions. They could but they don't.
