Miles, 20, and friend Kato Leonard, 21, created Freeweblayouts.net in 2005 to help MySpace members add graphic backgrounds to personal pages.
They added AdSense ads to the site to try to bring in a few bucks. From a first check of $60, Miles says, they now average $100,000 a month from Google. Just for offering graphics that he and Leonard make in Photoshop (ADBE).
