We developed our Easy Website package in April 2001 and gave our first 5 websites away free! The Easy Website Package was a simple website designed to improve the level of response our advertisers got from their advertisements.
2002	"Just sell me the leads!"
In 2002, some advertisers told us that they didn't want an advertisement or need a website they just wanted the results. "Just sell me the leads!" advertisers said to us. So we did, launching our Pay Per Response service.
