$1 per pixel on The Million Dollar Homepage

Are you interested in getting more traffic to your page? Maybe you just have something to say? If you’ve got a few extra dollars laying around, why not consider investing them on The Million Dollar Homepage.

The page is run by Alex Tew, a 21 year old from England with honest intentions of funding his university education.

First and foremost, if I make enough money, I will pay my way through University. That includes 3 years worth of tuition fees, accomodation fees, textbooks etc, and [god forbid] – having a social life!

After that, I would like to pay for my parents to have some time off because they work so hard and they deserve a break. I would like to return some of the support they have given me over all these years.

Thirdly… socks! I definitely need some new socks. Whenever I buy new ones they seem to disappear, or they disintegrate. So I want to buy some really expensive, long-lasting socks.

The Million Dollar Homepage consists of 1 million individual pixels. Each pixel is valued at $1 a piece with a minimum purchase requirement of a 100 pixel block (10 x 10 pixels). Design your banner accordingly and have it placed somewhere on the page. I love the idea!

    I think http://www.milliondollarhomepage.com is a great and original idea – I hope he makes some good money and sails through uni without the debts that cripple UK students. Good luck to him.

    Looks like there could be a “region” race:

    U.S. => http://www.milliondollarwebpage.com

    Europe => http://www.millioneruohomepage.com

    And the original being from the U.K.

    All that is needed now is Asia, Africa, and maybe a few others.

    This one is listed by category, so you can actually find adverts you want – maybe advertisers will like this idea more? http://www.choicedirectory.co.uk

  11. Terry says:

    I’ve found http://www.eabypixels.com – this one is only for eBay users, but you can win a digital camera if you don’t want to pay for pixels :) – cost is £10 for each box and you have to be an ebay seller for this (or point another one, but what would be the reason for it?? :) )

    Alex Tew is a genius, and deserves credit. I’m doing a “spinoff� site to try to raise money for a new home. When some ads are sold, I’ll buy space on Alex’s page out of respect.

    Hi – have also created a bill-board style site – http://www.milliondollarcowpage.com – which I think is a little different – for a start, it has cows!

    I’ve been thinking that it seems odd that the people who click on the links don’t get anything – apart from forwarded to the advertiser’s home page – so I thought I’d give them a little more. Every time you click on the million dollar cow page you get a cow. You can collect your cows, swap your cows, even have them do battle in top-trump style gaw fests.

    It’s only been up a few days, but I’m trying to drum up some support. If you’re interested, take a look at http://www.milliondollarcowpage.com

    The cow one made me laugh. So if people click and there’s cow fights, can we watch? I also created one:

    http://www.MillionDollarHomePage.net

    We’re giving away ipod nanos, and I’m trying to think of a good click incentive that might involve cash (or more nanos).

  31. marc says:

    Here is a great site! The http://www.milliondollarpixellottery.com
    where you buy a block for $150 (i.e.$50 more than Alex T’s but it give you the chance to win $1.000.000 with your PayPal Transaction Receipt Number! Great Idea…I think! For $50 you have a 1 to 100.000 chance or more..depending how may you buy to win the Million…a much better chance than any other lottery i have come across!

  34. AC says:

    Will anyone buy from these stupid pixel websites? First if is horrible trying to find a product, and second, how would the everyday regular buyer know where to find the pixel website?

  35. Jake says:

    I agree with AC that is so hard in finding a site where you can actually see what the pixel ad is trying to advertise. That is why I loved this one site when I saw it called Banners Bring Business at http://www.bannersbringbusiness.com where they sell banner ads at 88×31 for $100 whereas on pixel sites it is just a 10×10 block for the same price. At least at this site you get more bang for your buck and people can actually see what they are advertising to them.
