Awesome idea, wish I had thought of it. But I think if the site would attract more people if it looked better, or even brighter.

Well done to him for making 7k out of it already.

No idea why people are bothering to buy space though... Sure it's going to do the viral thing for a while, and while there's not much on it a few people will get clicks... Of course the more people that get on there the less visible people will be and the less likely to get clicks... Also none of the clicks will be targetted in any way with such a small space.

Also the more people that buy links on there the more it will become seen by search engines as a link-farm so once the viral effect wears off it will be dead.

But much as I think anyone buying space on there must have money to burn, as it is far from a viable advertising medium, I still have to big him up for making money from this.

edit: some nice creativity from the advertisers in the small space available... Particularly like the idea of the bottom right corner, possibly making people think their link leads to another page within the site.

Tops to him! He is really on his way to 1 million!

I wouldn't call it stupid, I think it's a great way to advertise!

Yea, actually he must have a lot of traffic now that i think about it. But he's way to far from 1 million. Some 970thousand more pixels to sell

Wow... you posted that he sold 28,000 yesterday, today he's sold another 13,600!!!
That's a hell of a lot of money to earn over night if you ask me, and plus from the 10th when he had 7,000 sold he's made $34,000 more!

I'm considering making a similar site... (money takes over morals )

It's a nice idea, but as a web developer I wouldn't join. I don't want to buy some pixels in a crowded page, better have some targeted visitors from adwords or whatever the ad campaign.

It's indeed a nice cool idea, but for those who are willing to throw some money off the window. I haven't got money for regular advertising, can't think about something as "exotic" as this

Well, my friend, you are dead on! Here are some I have stumbled across:

Million Euro Homepage

Million Dollar Homepage, Part II

Million Penny Homepage

I know there are others but I forget them at the moment. Sorry.

Toodles,
