Affordable Pixel Advertising

(PRLEAP.COM) In August of 2005 an English university student came up with a Million Dollar idea he had in the middle of the night to pay his way through college. Alex Tew built a website called http://www.themilliondollarhomepage.com"  (Million Dollar Homepage), in which he sold pixel advertising space pixel by pixel. The page is broken up into 10,000 100 pixel blocks, which Tew each block for $100 dollars each, or $1 dollar per pixel. News about Tew’s site exploded worldwide and gained business interest in pixel ads and was even featured on the front page of CNN.com. On January 1, 2006 the final 1,000 pixels left were put up for auction on eBay. The auction closed on January 11 with the winning bid of $38,100.00. This brought the final tally to $1,037,100 USD in gross income. In a span of about 5 months all of the ad space was sold and Alex Tew had made well over his One Million Dollar mark.

Pixel advertising is a new unique approach to advertising. It provides the opportunity for individuals to advertise their product, service or personal website. Pixel advertising works because the small image links strike visitors curiosity and intrigues them to click on the image to see what that link is all about. It’s human nature to be naturally curious about the unknown. Granted all traffic generated by pixel sites are untargeted, but hundreds of thousands of advertisers across thousands of Pixel Sites can’t be wrong. Pixel advertising is here to stay.
