Odnoklassniki: a bit of history
The social network Odnoklassniki has long been a part of our lives. Hardly anyone now remembers the times when this portal did not exist. In fact, the site appeared not so long ago. Its creator, programmer Albert Popkov, began work on it in 2000. The work went on for quite a long time and was not easy. The project started in March 2006, and by the summer about 9 million people were registered on the site.
At first, registration was paid, but since 2008 the fee was canceled, which attracted even more users to Odnoklassniki.

According to Popkov himself, the site did not bring any profit until 2009, when, as the social network expanded, numerous advertisers did not come here. Only then did developer revenues begin to rise.
