The Book of Ads - Be part of Internet History
Luxembourg 9th Jan 2006
Today has been launched "The Book of Ads" an original and
innovative advertising site on the web [www.thebookofads.com].
Drawing upon the successful "Million Dollar Homepage" and sister
sites, Guillermo Vigil, a seventeen year old high-schooler based
in Luxembourg, has created an advertisement site whose purported
aim is to sell 10,000 ads in the form of pages of a book.
"My challenge was to create an innovative advertising site on
the wake of the world-acclaimed Million Dollar Homepage" ―
told us Guillermo while balancing on his chair. When we asked
him if its emblem could be "Buy a page instead of a pixel", the
young Guillermo promptly replied that actually the site's motto
is a little bit more ambitious: "Be part of Internet
History" means that what the advertiser is buying is a niche
on a book which aims to be a part of Internet history.
"Is like buying a place on an Internet Hall of Fame, an imprint
through which thousands of advertisers will be able to track its
presence on the net."
The Book has only two chapters, the first intended for more
economic ad space, and the second for bigger advertisers. The
pages open up randomly, so there is no price ranking based on ad
location. The price starts from as only US$ 0.95 and will reach
stepwise its standard rate of US$ 99.95 in coming months.
As we were saying him goodbye, we wished Guillermo the best
success for "The Book of Ads", that is certainly to become "Part
of Internet History".
