Alan Meckler revels in the fact that Jupitermedia generated nearly $1 million in revenue, virtually overnight, by creating a new stock photo Web site (Comstock 1700k) that enables users to download royalty-free photos in bulk via paid subscription:

"We launched the site a few weeks ago and sales are moving in on $20,000 per week and building. Our promotion effort was nothing more than running banners on our various image Web sites as well as some of our developer sites in the JupiterWeb network... This is an example of terrific organic growth for virtually no cost. It is also an example of how amazing the Internet is as a distribution channel. No promotion cost, no inventory cost and very little effort."
