Alex Tew's million dollar homepage was a success in only three months. The college student became a millionaire almost over night with his last 1,000 pixels selling for $32,000 dollars on ebay. Over a thousand pixel sites sprang up since last September hoping to cash in on this new idea. So I decided to do the same. I whipped up a 4 page website similar to all these pixel sites, without all the uploading technology and the grid thing. I even got listed 9th on google for thousand dollar homepage out of 120,000 listings. Not much success,though. I suspect that there is just too much competition among pixel sites. Some pixel sites do well while others don't get much business. What is tiring is pixel sites advertising on pixel sites. Some even allow what is considered to be pornographic pictures on their sites. The whole effect is much like graffiti. What is in the future for pixel advertising? Not sure but it seems like most of the world does not recognize it as being legit yet, although the phenomenom did reach millions through 10 o'clock news on tv. One thing for sure as some sites now offer 5 years of advertising and pixels as low as penny a pixel is that they started something that may seem like a fad at first but in the end decidedly changed the face of internet advertising at a very basic level. It just stands to reason that any idea that makes a million dollars so quickly will spawn many imitators to do the same. Anyways, back to the drawing board. |
