4. Can you believe it?

I have been kicking myself all day!!!! I wonder if it is too late to offer a 50 cent per pixel?

[stop the bleeding]

6. competition anyone???

[arcos]

15. yes it is... there are several 50 cent pages now... nt

3. genius

wish I had thought of it.

5. I gotta hand it to him...

That's just plain genius.

[Catherine Vincent]

7. I don't get it.

How does he make money by selling pixels?

[derby378]

8. The pixels are actually links to websites

Just click on some pixels to visit some sites.

[Earth_First]

9. Because he's selling web banners on his page for $1 per pixel...

a little "creative" 'word of mouth' marketing, and he's got himself quite an advertising idea...

[BlueEyedSon]

10. go look at the site!

[QuettaKid]

11. He is selling pixels

to advertisers who normally shell out many, many times that amount. Word spreads, like this thread, and people go to see it, it's just the novelty of the idea.

12. Just a small advert brings in big bucks this way

A 50 pixel by 50 pixel advert would bring in $2,500.

13. That's one clever SOB.

If the info in the upper right corner is reliable, that means he's made close to an easy $900,000 by now. Gotta hand it to him, smart move. I hope to hell he's not a rethug.

[QuettaKid]

14. doubt he is a rethug...

he is a 21 year old British student. In Wiltshire, UK.

[lpbk2713]

17. Too bad for him.

He'll probably have to pay up the ass in taxes if he's a Brit. It's still easy money though.

[ProudDad]

20. At least there

He'll get SOMETHING for his money...

Not like in the good ole ewe ess of a.

16. Not everyone is an American, you know? nt

[MsUSA]

19. He didn't start out as one, but will become one soon enough.

Once people make a lot of money, they turn into repugs almost overnight. I've got mine, screw everyone else, becomes the thinking of all of them, or most of them. It's sad really.

[ProudDad]

18. This is SICK, SICK, SICK

Capitalism is finally taking the high-dive into the deep end of the bullshit.

GOD! What a f*ckin' waste.



On Edit:

ELIMINATE the tax deduction for "advertising expense". If you are in the u.s. you're paying 1/3 of those dollars!

21. What a great idea!!!
