(bettertrades) - Joel Comm is a successful entrepreneur and author that made his mark using the internet to make money. He is the owner of Worldvillage.com, blogger at Joelcomm.com and founder of Classicgames.com (Classicgames.com was purchased by Yahoo and is now Games.Yahoo.com). Joel is author of "What Google Never Told You About Making Money with Adsense" and "Chikita eMiniMalls Secrets", and "Twitter Power - How to dominate your Market - One Tweet at a Time."

According to Joel, he is a 40-year old married computer enthusiast from Illinois. After becoming interested in computers at the age of 16, Joel believed that there was a revenue building model that could be used through the internet. In 1995 among other web sites Joel founded Worldvilage.com as a family friendly alternative to a lot of the non family related material found on the net in those days. It primarily featured software reviews, clean chat rooms, articles, and continuous rotation of shopping freebies and consumer discounts. At the time Joel saw opportunity to publish free content on the site and to support it through advertising, a model that is used by a majority of sites today.

Although Joel will not advertise for any products that are illegal or that he feels are immoral or unethical, he has used a variety of ads including banner networks to derive income from the net. He has participated in a many associate programs including being an early adopter of Amazon's program.

Joel is a big promoter of blogging and blogging sites, confessing that it allows him to share his views on politics and other controversial subjects without fear of censorship or editorial constraints. He has also used the platform to teach others how to use the internet to make extra income and in some cases a career. According to Joel anyone willing to put in the time and effort to produce quality content can make a lot of money without limitation. There is however significant risk if you get dropped by one of the large search engines so for this reason he is careful to diversify his sites and he is constantly creating new ones.

Joel started dabbling with Adsense when it was first introduced back in June 2003. Google Adsense enables website publishers of all sizes to display relevant Google ads and earn revenue. After some time perfecting his use of the program, his daily income from using the program grew from $30 to $500. Wanting to inform others of his discovery, Joel created the e-book entitled "What Google Never Told You About Making Money with Adsense", which is still available today and is being used by some web publishers to make significant incomes. Joel preferred Adsense to many of the banner networks because Google's context-driven ad delivery system, delivers ads that are relevant to the subject matter you are publishing giving publishers the greatest probability of income generation. He believes that bloggers that are not using Adsense are leaving money on the table and those not using it correctly are not maximizing their income potential. These are several of the reasons that motivated Joel to write the book. Since publication Joel's e-book has become extremely popular due to the popularity of Adsense, and the ability of web publishers to use his ideas immediately to generate income from their sites.
