    I think it will only work for a very short while, (for us not him, he is set). Once the page is 50% full the odds of my little image ever been clicked on is close to zero.

    Half the clicks are probably people wondering how the page works and who bought the square, why etc... just curious people.

    its a random clicks not a targeted clicks. 1 year from now, I just can tell my friend that I'd bought pixels from that page and and if they don't trust me, I'll just asking them to find the pixels themself

    Wow, that's picking up good. He has made 120,800 at the time of this post. I know a couple of DP'ers buying ads there. Interesting :) I am feeling like spending a couple hundred as well, amazing idea, and nice publicity.

    Another copy out at milliondollarhelppage .com

    I wonder what he did (I mean - how much he had to pay) to gain such a publicity. The traffic and popularity he gets didn't come from nothing. But anyway, he'll surely make a lot of money on that :)

    But I think that buying ads there is just crazy, the site will be popular for a very short time. And additionally - traffic never will be targeted, it will be simply random. I don't think it's a good business to buy anything there, especially at that price.

    For the sake of the argument lets just assume this guy won a 1M UK lottery ticket. The USA kicks the UK ass anyway. We are the USA...our job is to kick ass. Let them pop thier Mentos and mad cow burgers. (Not that I have anything against DP India posters or Pakistani posters or European posters but America is number one)

    Striking it rich like this is rare, but if you really want to be a millionaire you either have to work your ass off at a corperation or some business, get really lucky, or organize a large fraud. I don't recommend the later, and the second is a long shot, but really what it comes down to is working you ass off and being persistant.

    Lets let this go. Please let it go. You guys are getting way too worked up about it.

    Does it matter, I doubt he is going to sell text links when all the pixels are filled :)

    :)

    But going from PR 0 to 7 in about 2 months with only natural links is pretty good ...

    Making a million quid in 2 months would be pretty good aswell, it would have been better if it was the billiondollarpage though.

    there is really plenty of room for copycats right now (although i hate copycats). It's pretty impossible to get worldwide publicity for a website overnight. So, he could effectively have started 10 of these at once, hit 10 different markets (countries), and just altered them a bit like the copycats and he probably would have the million already spread over 10 sites.

    hell, i'm on this site everyday and today is the first time i've heard about this...:)

    I bought an add from the million penny one last week for $4.00. Since I received over 200 visitors and someone posting they found my site from that page posted it on a popular forum from which I received 700 visitors in the last 3 days. I was a good investment.

    The clicks are slowly drying up as the page fills up.

    well, revenues would be a million but he would have to take out for taxes, hosting (which will have to amount to a lot with that many images), paypal and 2CO fees.

    ...but i'd take it!

    It is a lottery ticket essentially. Some people win 300M lotteries...
