My new Site - Become the Chosen One!

    Hi everyone,

    I present to you my new site:

    The Chosen Link

    Here you have the chance to be featured on the main page as long as you are the highest bidder. There is only one link on the main page (along with the navigation links) and I made it so you can also bid with links instead of money. That way the site will get more popular and in the long run it will have a higher PR.

    Money bids start at $0.5 !

    Link Approval is manual and if not approved you will get refunded as soon as I review the link. I hope you like my idea!

    Thanks for the bid!, you are the chosen one!

    I will try to improve the design and also automate the site, though it´s a little hard to automate it with the system of links I have.

    nice ideas with those big "pixels", although site loads a bit too slow due to high number of hits per request

    I bought one.

    Isn't the legality of this questionable? It's a pyramid scheme.

    chatmasta, read the blog for more information. The spot prices increase in a "pyramidal" way but is not a pyramid for many reasons:

    1.- quantity of spots is limited and the limit is known to every person who buy advertising space.

    2.- I'm constantly adding features so people who join last will get far more than just an ad.

    3.- The site is not intended for making money through the ads, it's an important plus on the model but the main intention is to bring traffic to your site.

    Hmm, well, initially "it was" but the even if all ads are sold The limit of the page itself is in the mid $xx,xxx's but I'm using the earnings to develop new projects with new ideas and also "not so new" ideas that will also benefit everyone who purchases ads on the page. That will increase the sales on the page itself and will give me new opportunities of income in other projects.

    Nice concept. Will people use the page in sufficient numbers to justify the advertiser's expense?

    Since that is the most important aspect of advertising, and since I also know that normal people don't want only ads on pages, I'm developing an idea that will spread the ads through many sites and will also benefit many webmasters, and not only the ones purchasing ads on The Chosen Link. When the first idea is finished (the script being developed) I will start working on that one.

    Why are the links down? I thought permanent would be longer than a year.

    your site looks too much like a parked page. It took me some time to realize that it wasn't
