The Million Dollar Homepage
by Leion on Jan.12, 2006, under General
I was surfing around today when I found this really original site with nothing but many many many many pictures and links. Non of the pictures nor links belong to the site owner. He was selling space in his website. The links do not come cheap. They are a dollar for a pixel.
After getting free advertising from the media, this site began to get so much attention and orders that almost all of the one million pixels are sold. The smart owner then put up an auction for the remaining 1000 pixels. The last of the remaining space net him US$38k. He made more than a million from his original idea. I think thats very cool.
Expectedly, there are many copycat sites that does the same coming up but I doubt they can do as well as this one.
Oh yar the link of this site: http://www.milliondollarhomepage.com/
This is the most interesting site I have come across in such a long time!
