I don't want to do front-end anymore

I tried to imagine what kind of website could generate $5B without requiring more than $100/month of hardware. Seems impossible.

Just take a look at the top 10 adwords keywords and let your mind wander. Our business touched 4 out of 10...

Found in a random blog post, top 10 keywords:

- Insurance

- Loans

- Mortgage

- Attorney

- Credit

- Lawyer

- Donate

- Degree

- Hosting

- Claim

Still can't see it. But just to be sure, you're saying that the $100/month website was directly generating most of that $5B?

And not, for example, being just a bridge between users and an army of attorneys?

Qualified leads are king in that business.

Keep in mind that a large number of law firms in this space do not try cases and just generate and sell leads.

Yes, obviously there's a lot more that goes into it, but my point was that websites can be extremely simple in their infrastructure and still be extremely effective.
