But as you grow and you keep on going, you add content, Google, again, it's just going to keep on delivering.

So we're getting sign-ups from content that we added five years ago.

And the key thing, why I think it's a hedge against well-funded companies, is you can really focus on the top keywords that deliver a lot of value.

We thought as two founders, it was going to be terrific.

And the interesting thing is, once we got to 2 million, we thought we would have made it by then.
