Million Dollar Homepage

Check this out. Linky Some guy has set up a website with 1 million pixels on the mainpage (each "block" on the page is 10 screen pixels). He's selling each pixel as ad space for $1 each. At the moment he's sold 64,500 (earning him $64,500), so there's another 935,500 to go! Damn. Good idea. S.

I like the fact that someone went through the expense of getting a big one that says:

"I'M RICH, YOUR NOT"

And clearly demonstrating their poor grasp of the English language... well done!

And then he get's more traffic from people posting links when giving out about the site.

I'm fighting the urge to click the link as I type.

Watch out for advertisers,
Don't play their game....

Yeah it's human nature to want to find out, which is his only selling point as far as I can make out.
