After I finished writing yet another post about Foursquare, I viewed it in the blog to make sure it looked OK. That's when I noticed the ad that my ad provider (sort of rhymes with "frugal") served up.
Apparently I'm not the only one who figures that online mentions of Foursquare are a good thing. It appears that David Gokhshtein is targeting his "hire me" ad to appear on websites that mention Foursquare.
Now I'm not allowed to click on my own ads, so I had to use other methods to learn who David Gokhshtein is.
It turns out that the ad is a tool to promote Your Lane Media. Here's what it's about:
Your Lane Media, founded by David E. Gokhshtein, is an Internet Marketing company dedicated to bringing your vision to life. It is comprised of a team of experts who have a wide and concrete background in internet marketing and web design. Our company offers a variety of services, each of which are mastered by professionals. We possess the tools and skills required to make a business grow and succeed.

Among the services provided is search engine optimization:
Commonly people who seek specific products and services are more likely to click on and browse through the first links that appear on the page.

Presumably Gokhshtein can make the argument "Do you want people interested in Foursquare to go to Foursquare's site, or to some other site?"

Unfortunately, I didn't ask the question "Who is Your Lane Media?" I asked the question "Who is David Gokhshtein?" And here's what else I found.
According to his modeling page, he has a 36" bust and speaks Russian and Japanese.
As of 2008, he campaigned for Facebook president on a platform of keeping the old Facebook alive. Presumably he's not a fan of Bret Taylor.
His Twitter page @pagautogroup shows that he likes location-based service...Booyah.
Still haven't found his Foursquare account yet.
