Million Wanker Pages...
It looks like the original Million Dollar Home Page has sold out, with the last 1000 pixels being auctioned off on eBay.
Graywolf said he got his money back from his ad, and I bet the person who buys the last pixels gets a ton of media coverage.
Due to the popularity of the original pixel ad site I get about 5 or 10 million dollar spams ads a day (maybe they were part of the reason Nick wanted to move on). Today, for example, I was notified of a script on sale on eBay for $15, and another site where the ad price starts off at $1 per ad and doubles in cost for each replacing ad.
Even if their marketing is uber aggressive would you still buy an ad if you thought it would be profitable? I bought the $2 ad on one of the pages, and am uncertain if I am early adopter or supporting offensive aggressive marketing techniques or a bit of both.
Not that I want the spam I am surely asking for by even going near the topic ;) but has anyone compiled a directory of pixel sites yet? How many of them will be around in a year?
grrrr
Thank god its come to an end, but I cant believe someone is going to pay over $21k US for the last slot...madness.
I keep getting emails saying from people saying how much they love my site and that they've got a new pixel site they'd like me to review, its like rabbits without myxomatosis. If any one does have a myxomatosis we can give these pixel site owner please let me know :-)
hopping virus
Yes, I believe a new virus is in the works named MyxomPixie which hops from one pixel site to the next ;-)
Love it. Anything that is
Love it. Anything that is pissing off so many pretentious webmasters/marketeers is good in my books!
