In short, all he did was create "a HTML button maker":http://kalsey.com/tools/buttonmaker/ for a (quite brilliant) "button maker script":http://www.minimalverbosity.com/2003/May/19/buttons.htm. "Viral marketing":http://www.wilsonweb.com/wmt5/viral-principles.htm took care of the rest.
Morale of the story: the Web rewards those who give unassumingly.
