Pixel Advertising Site Takes Off
Pixel Advertising is increasingly becoming the most popular and
cost affective way to advertise on the internet.
A year ago pixel advertising wasn't heard of and didn't exist,
that was until a student named Alex Tew invented the idea to
make a pixel grid where internet businesses could display their
own logo or image. He named his website 'The Million Dollar Home
Page' and suddenly the name became internet history. Alex Tew
the maker of the website, wanted to fund his student loan which
is why he made The Million Dollar Home Page. His website can be
found at http://www.milliondollarhomepage.com. His idea, more
than paid off his student loan, after only a couple of months he
had sold all of his pixels and made a total of $1000000!
As soon as the idea became so successful a lot of similar pixel
selling websites appeared. But very few are turning out to be as
successful as the original. It's a great way for advertisers to
get visitors, as the idea drags the visitors to become more
interested than any other advertising method. The colorful grid
packed full of interesting images makes users want to keep
clicking the images to find out what's there. Alex then received
threats from hackers demanding money; otherwise they would
switch the site down. Alex thought nothing of it and rejected
their threats which sadly resulted in his website being switched
off by hackers for 4 days. This then lead to an advertiser on
the Million Dollar Home Page threatening to sue Alex Tew for the
4 days the site was not available. The Million Dollar Homepage
will be sold out for five years, as all advertisers are kept
listed until 2011. So you might be wondering what other pixel
websites are worth advertising on?
The answer to that is not many. Most are just ''People'' trying
to make a lot of money from copying the idea made by Alex Tew.
In fact there are only a couple of pixel advertising sites that
id bother with and these are, PIXEL M8 and PIXEMEUP, as they are
both reputable businesses in the pixel adverting market. As most
pixel advertising websites are setup by just bog standard people
such as youths, you will find a lot just disappear as they
aren't successful. Both PIXEL M8 and PIXMEUP are extremely
reliable to advertise on and are also both offering great deals;
you can find them at http://www.pixelm8.com and
http://www.pixmeup.com. James Allsopp and Humberto Tordecilla
the owners of PIXEL M8.com believe that there site will be the
next Million Dollar Home Page. So, what are the benefits of
Advertising on a reputable Pixel Advertising Site?
Well, for a one off fee your image link will usually be kept on
the site for around five years. You will receive a large number
of visits to your site over the course of five years. Direct
links from well ranked pages. Logos are always visible on each
page. Long term placement.
The size constraints actually spur creativity in a way that
traditional banners don't. Constant traffic and brand promotion.
In my opinion pixel advertising is by far the best method for
advertising a website. There are so many benefits, but if you're
thinking of ''making'' a pixel advertising website, I personally
wouldn't bother unless you can beat the three main players
