Daniel Yomtobian received much of his business sense from his father, who worked long hours to provide for Daniel and his family. Watching his father from an early age, Daniel learned how to negotiate and use his business skills. After completing high school he had an innate eye for business — and after taking an HTML course and spending hours daily on the Internet, Daniel knew what he wanted to do with his life. Whatever it was, he knew it would be big.
Born in the suburbs of Los Angeles, California in 1977, Daniel Yomtobian was a self-motivated, self-made man. His continuous interest in the World Wide Web led him to the inception of ABCSearch.com, the search juggernaut of the Internet advertising industry. Launched in 2001, ABCSearch has grown to serve over 2.5 billion searches per month — one of the world’s top providers of cost-per-click searches, with acclaim across the industry.
