Hey people.
I recently came across this article while surfing a webmaster site.

Quote:

Something revolutionary happened last month that is going to be part of the Internet history in coming years. One college student named Alex Tew from England came up with a brilliant idea and invented a new way of advertising on the Internet. His main purpose was to make 1 million dollars for his college degree.

The idea goes like this, He divided his homepage in to one million pixels ad space and is selling one pixel for $1 with minimum purchase of 100 pixels. In just little over 1 month, he has sold over 390,000 pixels. As we all know pixels are really small, you can’t even see one pixel with your naked eye.

Most people question, why advertisers are paying him so much money? The reason is very simple. Take advantage of this massive traffic generating system. His homepage receives more than 65,000 visitors every month and has been growing everyday. People who started early benefited the most. Other reason is, when you advertise on this site, you get direct hyperlink to your website improving your rank in Search engines. Your ad stays permanently for 5 years. There is no limit on impressions and the number of clicks you receive. So, instead of advertising on other sites where they charge by impressions or clicks, people are choosing this one.

You may want to check out and see for yourself. It is worth looking at it. I have spent $100 to buy 100 pixels and so far it has been great. My ad is so small you won’t be even able to find it. However, I still get click troughs and receiving traffic. There are many more sites have came up who offer similar thing, If you are thinking to advertise on these type of sites, do it early and take the maximum advantage of it.

The sites called http://www.getamillionhits.net/

Seriously speaking I saw the website and could not get a bit of this concept . Could someone throw some light on it.

and the funniest part is ... I checked the Alexa traffic rank for two websites of the same type and found that they are ranked very low in Alexa Traffic Rank. Although Alexa is not very reliable as far as traffic details are concerned , but they give a rough idea . Moreover the page rank of both these sitesis 0 ? Now hows that ?

Sorry for so many successive posts but another thing that i noticed right now is that all the sites that hve bought pixels have a page rank 3 .... Somethin strange...

There's probably low page rank because the site is new and hasn't had a lot of time to develop links from other sites.

The concept is that you buy pixels on the website for advertising your own website. More pixels, the bigger of an ad you have and the more money the guy who's running the site makes.
