Dating site's owner makes $6M

I recently happened upon this info as I was surfing the web. Yes I'm very envious.

Apparently PlentyOfFish is an on-line dating service. It gets over 45 million visitors each month and 30+ million hits per day. What's more impressive is that it's single handidly run by its owner Markus Frind working a few hours per day and making $6 million a year from Google ads. Pretty impressive indeed. For my geek readers apparently Markus runs his website on a handful of Windows servers running IIS but the secret sauce might be the use of CDN (content delivery networks such as Akamai).
