I don't know the link, or it is even still up, but I met a woman back in '01 that put together a coloring book site, internationalized it, and was receiving $4K a week in Google advertising revenues. She had sections for 80+ countries international holiday, a often a few of whomever was their country's founding people. When I last saw her, she was hip hop style covered in gold.

Have you read "I'm Feeling Lucky: The Confessions of Google Employee Number 59" ?

Apparently in the early days of Google Ads, some clever people made large sums of money. Some were scammers, but many were just very clever opportunists who found a way. Sound like this woman figured it out!

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I am interested in the story of how is personal name or brand is same as MacKenzie-Childs, a home decor brand popular in my hometown Upstate NY. Their items often have a white-black checkers : https://www.mackenzie-childs.com/

I have no relation to that company. Just unfortunate to share a name lol (I've struggle with getting my stuff on Google for years because of them though ). I think Mackenzie-Childs is two people, Mackenzie + Childs that formed that company. Not sure if my parents knew about the company or not when they named me lol

Thank for you for the response. I apologize for asking the obvious question, you must get that alot. If it helps, my lovely godmother decked out her living room and kitchen in Mackenzie-Childs (teapots, tables, napkins), so I have positive design associations.

There is another software engineer in CA with same (unique) first and last name as I. Fortunately he's career-successful, so I'll survive if SEO confusion occurs. He accepted my Linked-In connection.
