It seems to be filling up nicely, he's earned $28K by now. I don't doubt for a moment he'll reach his goal and will be set for life. Or not, as easy come can mean easy go; but that's up to him. He certainly deserves his success due to the qualities NetMidWest enumerated, above. I'm just waiting for when he gets his first "big" order, say, a Microsoft or Google logo that covers a fifth of the page By the way, the blog is pretty interesting reading, latest update was yesterday.
He could also do some pixel lottery. People would click like gracy if you hide some pixels with a money prize somewhere in between. Make two option the one as it is and another one where people pay to click and where they can win a price.
Pretty funny and amazing stuff, especially about the Alexa rating Oh, and a cool take on the copycats, as well.
I have 2 sites listed - Stats since my post yesterday: SIte 1: 53 uniques which is a lot for this new site Site 2: unknown at present The way i look at it, where else can you get a link for that length of time, for that much with that much publicity?
hxxp://www.engineseeker.com/ bought an 8x8, I am suprised that he has not sold a bigger spot to a bigger site, especially being a college student... at least as some altruistic gesture. The million penny page flat states 'Make me $10,000 richer'. And I doubt he's getting as much publicity or traffic.
wow, i am gutted i didnt think of that. So easy to set up too. Just goes to show there is still space for originality on the net
i think its pretty messy already, a page full of links to crap sites... after being the million dollar page..it could be renamed to 'worst ever page' although that said... full creds to the guy for the idea.
"I'm Rich - YOUR Not" - Clever guy. You'd think for that amount of money, you'd do a spell check first BTW, did you all spot the AdSense Scammer in there? Violates TOS completely so I hope he'll get booted from AS which would make it an expensive stunt. PS It's the little yellow square next to the cursor towards the top.
He saved about $400 by misspelling it... My favorite so far is http://beermatting.typepad.com/ - "Beer + Ideas = Beermatting" "Do you get a buzz from ideas? Come along to Beermatting and meet like-minded ideas people." (link to events) Probably the most relevant, as well. Man, that Scottish dog on beermatting is ugly. Don't they ever feed it? And how about Idea #28 - Cat Fuel? "It's an alternative fuel that is friendly for the environment. But it's complete nonsense to suggest dead cats. I've never used cats and would never think of that. At most the odd toad may have jumped in." Bild on Tuesday wrote a headline: "German inventor can turn cats into fuel -- for a tank he needs 20 pussies." The paper on Wednesday followed up with a story entitled: "Can you really make fuel out of cats?"
This is truely awesome. Anyone thinking of buying pixels? I say get in on it fast, theres going to be a lot of traffic to that site!
*Wishes I had thought of this back in the Super Bowl days of 2000!!! I could of probably got away with charging $2.00 per pixels!*
Do you guys think that buying pixels would get you traffic? I am not sure about that! Unless it is really a very big ad... Maybe it is useful as a backlink only... What do you guys think?
Update.... im on both milliondollar and millionpenny Milliondollar : 80 million penny: 2 My other listed site: Record adsense day yesterday
