The $100,000 Banner

Started by dponce80 · 10 months ago

One fine morning in early September 2005, a young British fellow by the name of Alex Tew woke up with a fantastic idea: to make a million dollars selling a million pixels at $1 each, in blocks of 100. He would sell these blocks as adspace and promise his sponsors a spot for a [...] ... Continue reading »

Good idea. First time in ages that I've actually clicked on a banner link. I've even given the link for CSF to a few friends as I think it's a worthy cause.

where will the banner be located? I see you've sold 800 pixels already, where are they or when will they be put up? Will it be on the main page?

Hi there AmericanGirl, I guess, from your question, that I've not been entirely clear about this thing.

The pixels are already there. Look at the top of the page. The very top. There's a banner there. And there are two little pictures. Hover your mouse over them. Or click on them. That's the ads! One is 200px (20px by 10px), the other, bigger one, is 600px (30px by 20px).

They'll be there for a year each, and they show up on every page of the site.

Hello

I've built this:
www.newmilliondollarhomepage.com
It is incredible how I get hits doing nothing, actually. 500 unique in 4 days.
However not much selling activity yet.
I have a contest for $1m, anybody selling as original site is invited.

Check out http://www.PixelAds4All.com - they offer a FREE 100 by 100 pixel "tool tip image" with the purchase of your ad, which acts like a billboard for your site! They are also currently offering their pixels for 50% off, or $50 USD for a 100 pixel block.

My hat goes off to Alex Tew, he certainly found a unique idea to sell ad space. I actually took his idea one step further... selling ad space by the BYTE! There are so many "pixel pushers" out there now that I needed to put a spin on the pixel advertising concept. Check out http://www.buckabyte.com=
