Rent Pixels
The idea is simple one: to try and make $1m (US) by
selling 1,000,000 pixels for $1 each. Hence, 'The Million Dollar Homepage".
Everyone is welcome to buy my pixels,
which are available in 100-pixel 'blocks' (each measuring 10x10 pixels). The homepage is divided into 10,000 of these 100-pixel
blocks (hence there are 1,000,000 pixels in total). The reason for selling them in 100-pixel blocks is because anything smaller
would be too small to display anything effectively.
You can buy as many pixels as you like, as long as there are some
available (see the live stats in the top right corner of the page). When you buy some pixels, you can then display an image/ad/logo
of your choice in the space you have purchased. You can also have the image click through to your own website. However, no obscene
or offensive images are allowed.
The pixels you buy will be displayed on the homepage permanently. The homepage will not
change. Using some of the money I make from the site, I guarantee to keep it online for at least 5 years, but hopefully much
longer. I want it to become a kind of internet time capsule. So, in the long run, I believe the pixels will offer good value. You
will helped create a piece of internet history and a bit of art to boot!
