Have you ever seen a great idea and said to yourself: "I wished
I'd thought of that?"
Well, just when you thought there weren't any more new ideas in
online advertising and marketing, along comes Alex Tew, a
21-year old college student from the UK who came up with the
brilliant idea of turning website pixels into prime online
internet advertising space.
Ok. Maybe you're saying to yourself "So What?"
Perhaps you don't even know what pixels are. Well, maybe you'll
grow a little bit more interested when you discover that Alex
Tew is selling each little pixel square on his The Million
Dollar Homepage site for $1 each.
Still not impressed, huh?
What if each pixel was sold in 10 x 10 blocks for $100 each?
And he has exactly 1 million pixels to sell.
Now you're getting interested.
What if I told you that all kinds of business advertisers were
snapping up these pixel ad blocks at such a phenomenal pace that
Alex has already earned over a half million dollars towards his
one million dollar goal. All within just a few short months.
While most of us online web publishers are happy when our online
income covers our hosting fees, Alex is going to be able to earn
enough money to pay for his entire college education within a
short period of time.
Why?
Because Alex thinks big.
He needed to solve a problem: Money for College
He decided he needed a big idea--one that would excite people.
Now, he's inspired over 500 pixel ad copycat sites and has been
interviewed by various media, which causes his unique site to
get tons of traffic, which entices lots of people to click on
those colorful ads featured on The Million Dollar Homepage. In
turn, this causes even more eager businesses to buy his pixel
advertising.
However, even Alex admits that his brainstorm will probably have
a short life span. He'll be making most of the big money as
well. Most of those copycats will fade away with empty pockets.
Why is pixel advertising more of a fad than a long-term strategy
like the popular pay per click (ppc) advertising?
Well, you only need to take a look at Alex's website at
http://www.milliondollarhomepage.com to find out. You'll see a
hodgepodge of very colorful graphic ads of various shapes and
sizes. The smallest blocks are the $100 ads. The largest ads
cost thousands of dollars.
This set up is good for Alex, but in the long run, how many
people will want to visit a page full of graphic ads?
Remember, people online want information, not blatant
advertising. Once the novelty dies down, so will the traffic.
Alex will have a million dollars--or more, a good education, and
a nice story to tell. The advertisers will have enjoyed a nice
boost in website traffic and hopefully earned some nice profits
from riding Alex's wave of popularity.
As Alex says, this is a "one off idea" and "a chance to make
Internet history."
In other words, it's a special one-time only event.
Hurray. Hurray. Step right up folks. See the amazing pixel
advertising page!
Alex is currently on a whirlwind media tour in the U.S. Will he
reach the one million dollar mark by the end of December 2005?
Stay tuned as the pixel ad fad keeps racing towards the finish
line.
