This is sick, who would pay $100 to get a 10x10 pixel ad? The guy who started it probably filthy rich!

715,400 sold....
What a waste of money.
so the kid is really making that sum of money??
Shall we send his link to the IRS then??
people know already, he actually advertised there was an easy way to make a million dollars with an idea like this....if and only if you were the first.
There even was an article in a known newspaper, the Wallstreet Journal or something similar.
The idea is that now, there are several sites like this, but only his will succeed, why? because he was the first one that had the idea. Therefore, all media that talk, write about this, will point to his site, making it even more popular. So it's a great deal for people wanting to advertise in it.
If someone does this again, it'll probably won't get noticed, because nobody will care anymore.
If you ask me, it's a great thing. It's such a simple idea, but it's the execution that makes it genius.
The Flashkit frontpage makes this for years ... kinda. :p
Fredi
I am going to do a billiondollarhomepage.com
oh yea? Well I am starting up the TRILLION dollar homepage.
muuuuuahahahahahahahaaaa!!!!
Seriously though, I don't get how this works. Ok so great he has a page full of ads.
Why are people going to go to the site to look at these ads after the hype of this idea wears off? What reason will people have to navigate to this site?
wont matter they already paid him.
How about a 10$ = 1 pixel ?
Damn. that is a genius idea! Especially because a 5x5 ad is affordable for a lot of people wanting to advertise.
How does he have 2 going though? --> http://www.rentpixelads.com/en/
this is no different than the guys selling the breath jar. Or the guys selling you an inch of land in the US that you can't use.
I seen a site similar to this a month ago, the guy had about 10% of the pixels filled, but this site! WOW thats alot of effing PIXELS..
Who the is going to sit there and browse links?! My eyes hurt!
Go figure, people would pay for anything!
$1 per pixel is not a lot of money for any orgainsation.
Funny thing is everyone is saying who is going to look through all of these followed by my eyes hurt. Been looking lately. That would encourage people to buy bigger pixel space: the more, the bigger, the more noticable.
How many of you have bought fake dog crap. Good for a bit but gets old. same concept i guess
I'll guess this is about 12 hours after Xell's post - and the total's 716,900 sold.Quote:

consider that beside the dolar per pixel, probably the guy also designs the ads "ok, 10 pixels, that's 100 bucks, now, what? you need me to create your add? sure thing, 2000 please, you know, it's hard to come up with some creative ad if you only have 10 pixels."
10x10's the same size as a favicon, right?
I thought Favicons were 16x16?
Long time since I played around with 'em, I can't remember.
yup, a favicon is 16 by 16, the smallest font possible is 7*5 and our avatars are 50*50. Having a site full of ads is like a search engien, but having a site full of ads that are smaller than the average icon is just pointless.
The next step is probably making an isometric world with ads...
16 x 16 is standard favicon size.

Ok, who can find waldo :D
He's right there *points*
This guy's a friggin' genius. Shows that there are still some gimmicks out there that haven't been done.
So get ya thinking caps on!
(and give me 10% for suggesting putting your thinking cap on thanks!)

Looks like some crazyness? What do you think?
A friend of mine always brings this up to me ....and there are also loads of other ones around. I personally think its crazy hehe but i can imagine the dude has made some good money. I heared he got quite some media attention.

A C-Note for a 10x10 pixel ! Man.... I'm in the wrong business ;)
i heard it was old.
I've heard he started this with idea to get some money to pay for his education in university. Now he got 578.000 pounds (during 4 months) which is equal to ~1 million $? Is it true or is it fake?
I think he made quite some money because of that media attention.... else there wouldnt be some many people trying to fake it. But its indeed old ;)
There are a lot of crazy staff in internet. It seems to be true after i've read this post about MMORPG games :
wage slaves
For those who's too lazy to click on link:
+++++++++++++++++++++
Weeks go by as I chase ghosts and rumors of Chinese workers clicking 12 hours a day. Word has it that 300 farmers are working at computers lined up in airport hangars somewhere in Asia. After all, Lineage II banned certain Chinese IPs for a reason. Finally, I get in contact with a man in his 30s who goes by the name Smooth Criminal. He's a partner in one of the largest sellers of MMORPG gold, and he isn't apologetic. His rap sheet: banned from Ultima Online, Asheron's Call, Shadowbane, Star Wars Galaxies, and Ultima Online again. He says once someone even traded him a wedding ring worth $2,000 for WOW gold.
Smooth Criminal's game cartel made $1.5 million from Star Wars Galaxies alone last year, and individually, he's made as much as $700,000 in a single year.
++++++++++++++++++++
I was shocked when i've read about that and thought it's the most crazy idea, but it seems the "one million dollar page" is more crazy that can be imagine :)
Hi,
Anyone wanna be a millionaire? Here's an idea: cover your webpage with ad's, lots of 'em, apparently it's not as annoying for visitors at all...

I should have thought of this...
This has been posted in the past...
man am I jealous. thats an amazingly simple concept, but an ingenious idea. and now, hes crazy rich! he's also got clients coming out of the ears... he'll never run out of work!
I reckon flashkit should get a couple of squares there. the testimonials sound quite legit... maybe even link up the FK cafepress calender? :P
whoa... I just refreshed that page... they're selling/reserving so quickly id be shocked if there was anything left in a couple of hours...

yeah, it was posted like a month ago :)
but you should be used to it. Everything in the CL is old even before it's posted the first time :D
I'd love to get this printed out as an A0 poster. It's so Eboy-esque.
pixelated wonderbra, yummmmm...
there we go... all three Coffee Lounge discussions of this same thing published in one, hard to understand, semi-contingent thread...
and I feel better about myself. yes I do.
I got it, man... I am gonna undercut this sucka!
1 pixel = $0.99!
