by John McIntyre

When a listener writes in and BEGS me to interview someone because of the massive value they provided in a FACEBOOK post, you know they have to be awesome. That’s what happened with Kevin Davis.

Kevin’s been in the game since the 2004 AdSense “gold rush”, and he’s realized that the most important metric is conversions.

Why?

  1. To paraphrase the last 30 seconds of this “I was going to travel the world but then I got into a relationship so I didn’t” Saddest thing I’ve heard so far on this podcast… Or on any podcast ever really! Also was that chickens I hear in the background?

    • Actually, I had already toured a lot. I was stationed in Germany for 3 years, and toured most of Europe. Started a school in Cameroon, West Africa. Spent a semester abroad in Taiwan and toured mainland China. Spent 6 weeks in India training software developers and then returned to spend my birthday on the beaches of Goa and hopped through Thailand and Hong Kong on that trip as well. Don’t get too depressed 😉

      We have a trip planned for Angkor Wat in Cambodia next year.
