1. Million Dollar Homepage

1000000 pixels, pay a dollar per pixel – this is perhaps the most stupid idea in online business who could help them find. Still, Alex Tew, a 21-year-old, who had the idea, now a millionaire. What is the idea? (From the FAQ on the website) The idea is simple: to try to 1 million dollars (U.S.) by selling 1,000,000 pixels for $ 1 each. Therefore, 'The Million Dollar Homepage ". The main motivation of this approach is to pay my university, because I do not like the idea of undergraduate students with huge debts. I know people who pay off student loans 15 – blocks 20 years after graduation. Not a nice thought! So, everyone is welcome to buy my pixels, which are available in 100-pixel '(each measuring 10×10 pixels). You will see the home page is divided into 10,000 of these blocks of 100 pixels (hence there are 1,000,000 pixels in total). The reason for selling in blocks of 100 pixels is smaller, because everything is too small to display anything meaningful. You can buy the number of pixels you want, as long as there are some available (see the live stats in the top right of the page). When you buy pixels, you can then display an image / / AD logo of your choice in the space you have purchased. You can also click on the image to get to your website. However, no obscene or offensive images are prohibited. pixels you buy will be displayed on the homepage permanently. The homepage will not change. The use of the money they make from the site, are the guarantee for maintaining on-line for at least 5 years, but hopefully much more. I hope that becomes a sort of time capsule of the Internet. Thus, in the long term, I believe the pixels will offer good value. Will get a piece of Internet history!
