Surfing on internet I found a similar page, but i think that it is more interesting than pixelotto because there are prizes…

[...] I’m sure many of you have heard about the Million Dollar Homepage that is the brainchild of Alex Tew. I came across this site which is run by what appears to be a college student. He/she is making the site available with a similar concept as the Million Dollar Homepage. Basically, he has 1 million pixels available for your ad space. He isn’t charging a dime and is completely free. [...]

Idea is SIMPLE: replace Alex’s Pixel Ads spots with IFRAME spots!

Alex will only pay taxes on $1 MIllion
The winner will pay his own taxes on his $1 Million

I think he will succeed again because even when he launched MDH last year he was not the 1st site with Pixel Ads .

Also
Movies do this kind of thing
Part 1 Part 2 Part 3

Even though there are a lot of snicker companies and brands , Michael Jordan can sell his for $150

Alex Tew can sellout 1 Million pixels because he is already associated with the pixel brand . People will buy from Alex Tew and not John or Jane Doe .

It is cheaper that Adwords or many forms of internet advertising so it is not a huge expense for small businesses .

I’m not really so sure this guy can do the same thing again. I have to admit I’d would give it a try if I were him doesn’t have much to lose. (Obviously hadn’t thought about last part yet)

1) It’s older now and not really anything new or exciting aside from the money not that it’s a bad catch.

2) He’s not some poor student anymore, the little guy appeal is gone.

3) I don’t think he really knows how he pulled it off the first time and if he was a marketing genius he’d have done something else by now instead of doing what he said he wouldn’t by having another pixel sale.

4) I’d be wary of buying space because you have to figure your site would get slashdotted and from the description of how things are supposed to work, not from people very likely to stay very long at all.

I’m sorry but the whole thing sounds like some blatant click fraud scheme.

If the kid isn’t careful and people’s sites start crashing he might be looking other law suits.

Nice link Coscobber, Pixelcity looks very cool. At the risk of just producing a list of million-related sites, http://www.theonemillionmasterpiece.com is a nice example of the idea taken on by some of the big charities (like Oxfam).

In the link I posted bellow above, The guy is offering to challenge Alew Tew, but by only using conventional methods… he is getting 15 other sites together to join him in his campaign. It seems to be an interesting hook, I wonder if it is going to work for him… If it does the 15 sites who took part might have a nice X-mas traffic gift awaiting.
