Joel Comm is an American author as well as an internet marketer. Apart from the New York Times bestseller book named, ‘The AdSense Code: What Google never told you about making money with AdSense’, he authored many more. In 1996 Comm relaunched SpringerSpan.com as ClassicGames.com. He also maintains a website called as WorldVillage.com, a content based website which began as a printed newsletter.

Comm runs Infomedia which is a small software company. In 2008 this company launched iFart mobile which is an iPhone application that replicates sounds produced by a human body. This application stayed on the top of iPhone application list for three weeks. The application costs $0.99 per app. In his personal blog Comm has mentioned that per day iFart earns $10,000.

In one of the Rolling Stone, George Clooney says, “Even the idea of a fart makes me laugh; saying the word ‘fart’ makes me laugh. I have iFart on my phone. I have remote whoopee cushions, ‘Farts’. To me, there’s nothing funnier.” The total profit earned by iFart was almost $400 million.
