million dollar homepage

13 September 2005

milliondollarhomepage.jpgthe Million Dollar Homepage consists of 1 million individual pixels. each pixel is valued at $1 a piece with a minimum purchase requirement of a block of 100 pixels (10x10px). the money earned will be directed to a student's university education. his homepage thus visualizes the collaborative effort of monetary sponsoring from unknown participants in real time. (did not know education was that expensive in the UK though) [milliondollarhomepage.com]

I started a site recently which sells pixels ( http://www.250000.org ), but also awards lucky advertisers. Similar to a lottery drawing. Currently I'm think of a way, where I can reward visitors. Any Ideas? If so email me at: info@250000.org

Another Million $ idea. Takes Tew's idea and adds a little spice - you can buy just one single pixel on this page. Go on - what harm can one single pixel do?

I found this one.
It's something new to me because this guy is giving avaw part of his money to his advertisers. It's something that I haven't seen on other buy pixels sites.

It's something new because by buying ads on this page you can get $50.000

The Million Dollar Home Page is well known by now, and there are quite a lot of “copycat” sites out there on the net.
Some of these sites are good, some tasteless and a handfull quite clever (Apart of Alex Tew’s, which is pure genious cause he was the first!)
One of these Sites I found is the http://milliondollarpixellottery.com Site. This one let’s you buy pixel’s and also give’s you the chance to win $ 1.000.000 ( 1 Million Dollars)!
Which is a nice idea, since you place an ad which might cost you fifty bucks more than on the Million Dollar Home Page, but it has the added bonus of a Lottery which might make you a Million richer. The chances a also a lot higher than in a normal lottery.
Well your chances obviously increase the more PayPal Transaction Receipts you generate..but it’s a great idea i think! Check it out at http://www.milliondollarpixellottery.com

I would like to congratulate Alex Tew for his original and simple idea yet generate much interest among advetisers. This is not typical but a genius idea not only resolving potential financial debt (after uni education), but create wealth to himself. There are many similar website (or some term it as copy cat)out there but I strongly believe the orignal will always prevail!

Well, I am adding my hat to the "copy cat" ring, but at least my version is a bit innovative. I'm combining pixel advertising with regular ads on a network of sites I host. Gives an instant advertising base to the site rather than having to wait for the word of mouth buzz to spread. Here's what my site is all about:

University Student Says, "Make Me Mortgage Free"
It's a crazy idea that might just work: a 22-year-old University student from Canada is trying to pay off the mortgage on his home a square inch at a time. Take a look for yourself: http://www.MakeMeMortgageFree.com/

I'd love to hear what you guys think!

Thanks,
Kent
