JumpFly, Inc.

JumpFly’s History JumpFly’s Co-Founders Mike Tatge and Brad Garlin were fortunate to find Pay Per Click (PPC) advertising at its birth. In 1998, they were introduced to Goto.com, the inventors of today’s PPC model, and chose PPC, through Goto.com, to advertise their first business together, NetVentures.

The power of PPC was apparent right from the start. Unlike anything else, this new advertising media allowed NetVentures to get in front of people searching AOL and Lycos for words and phrases representing their potential clients. Best of all, with the PPC model, NetVentures only paid a fee if the searcher read their ad and clicked to visit their website. The affordability and targeted reach of PPC advertising single handedly built their client base from the ground up, driving traffic and clients that would have never known about NetVentures otherwise.
Unfortunately, NetVentures relied on revenue from selling banner advertising, and despite their success with PPC advertising, the market for banner ads dried up completely in early 2000 when the Internet bubble burst. However, this failure led to what is now their life and passion at JumpFly.

After conceding NetVentures in late 2000, their entrepreneurial spirit and understanding of PPC led to the exploration of a new niche - helping businesses capitalize on PPC advertising to gain visibility and exposure. To start this venture, Mike and Brad started another new business.

By May of 2001, they gained traction, and established themselves early by signing an ambassador agreement with Goto.com. The agreement made their small business one of the first qualified PPC management agencies in existence. This early relationship with Goto.com cemented the solid foundation of support, training and ongoing service earned from each major PPC provider.

In 2002, the PPC landscape changed again when Google launched their AdWords program as a new platform to compete directly with Overture. With PPC now attached to the powerful Google brand, PPC caught on like wildfire. Like Goto and Yahoo!, Google and Microsoft also offered a dedicated team to support JumpFly and their clients as their platforms came to market. It is these solid, long term relationships with all three major vendors that puts JumpFly at the leading edge of the PPC industry.

After watching steady growth, and realizing PPC advertising was here to stay for the long term, Mike and Brad decided to bring their business to the next level by incorporating under the name JumpFly in 2003 and hiring their first team member.

Since incorporation over five years ago, PPC remains an extremely powerful and popular advertising choice for hundreds of thousands of businesses. Today, JumpFly continues to grow by building upon their stellar reputation and continued industry leadership. JumpFly’s relationships within the industry and with their clients are as strong as ever. Now with over 300 clients big and small spread across many different industries, JumpFly paves the way when it comes to maximizing PPC results for small and midsized companies. Their experience
of setting up and managing 1000’s of campaigns, as well as analyzing the millions and millions of dollars of traffic under their management over the years can not be taught in a book, or learned through the eyes of a single account.

JumpFly’s growing team of fourteen highly qualified professionals take great pride in the deep knowledge and value they bring their clients each day, and their hard work is getting recognized. In January 2008, TopSEOs, the independent authority on search vendors, ranked JumpFly first out of thousands of vendors for the title of “Best PPC Management Company”. Also, earlier this year Google invited the JumpFly PPC Advertising Blog to be indexed as a reputable source for quality PPC information within their exclusive news network.

The JumpFly team is proud of their reputation earned to date, and looks forward to many more years of providing the best PPC management available.
