The Million Dollar Homepage
There’s not a lot of ways to make one million dollar from a website, you’ll surely need some serious investment and time.
Alex, a 21 years old from the U.K is on his way to do that, but not by creating a huge site with alot of content, he’s simply selling pixels. You heard that right, this site offers the visitors to buy a pixel for $1, the minimum amount of pixels you can buy is 100 (10X10), which means that you’ll pay $100.
But why buying a pixel?- After buying a pixel, it beomes yours, you can put whatever you want in it, except porn and offending stuff..you can put your site link, an image, anything that you’d like to..
Until now Alex managed to sell 252,900 Pixels, which means: $252,900, ladies and gentelmen, this guy is an university student, and what does he offer in his site? pixels! 
….”genius”!
It’s amazing how people make money these days, by offering Pixels.

Hmmm… The pixels are actually 10×10 squares, obviously one point of blue color isn’t worth 1 dollar.

I know that Miketaba, pixels are indeed 10X10 squares, but he’s selling 10X10 Pixels which equals 100 pixels, and 1000 squares, so the minimum selling price is one hundred

What a crazy new fad. The only one that I’ve liked so far is milliondollarsweethearts. (www.milliondollarsweethearts.com).
The rest are pretty tired. At least with this one you can surprise your girl with some pixels

[…] Perhaps one of the most popular articles here, talking about Alex Tew and his genius idea of selling pixels, was also one of the most commented to articles in this blog, what bothered me then is that half of the comments were actually semi-spam ones that advertised others (not including the ones i’ve moderated)…But this site has gone one step too much: […]

I watched this site from almost the beginning. It is amazing that a young kid like Alex can do almost every step in the process right, including hiring a US publicist to promote for him.
So what’s next? A new idea in ——— wants to get million fans in addition to million dollars by using digital photo ads. Should be interesting.

Okay, i’m sick of people advertising their own site here, so from now on all advertising comments are edited.

Here’s a simular idea, this guy sells stones of his pyramid and the one who bids the most gets the top stone

Since I already had a web directory and free classifieds site, it was relatively easy to make a free pixel page to show this data in a crossword puzzle format: http://www.sywords.com
