Official Google Blog: Finding your hidden treasure: international campaigns with AdWords

In 2000, Antoine Assi founded Middle Eastern export website www.aldoukan.com―it was one of the first e-commerce business in the Middle East. He was just 20 years old and he made time to develop the business in between computer science classes at his university. He needed a way to advertise his website from the comfort of his own dorm room, so he decided to test out Google AdWords.
