That would be interesting to see. Its all good having the clicks, but the sales are important.Originally posted by sumphatpimpComment

I'm sure the page is getting plenty of hits now.
But I want to know how he talked the first advertisers into buying
their ads (min $100) with no traffic or media attention
Gave the first ads free or deeply discounted?
Buying a couple hundred of dollars in click to boost stats?
Lies?
Or just amazing salesmanship?Comment

persoanlly i think he has done well with the idea. There is always going to be people that will give him a hard time only becuase he has made money and they have not.
People would get upset that they did not come up with the idea themselves.
I know it annoys me that i did not come up with an idea like it.
I wonder if something like this could work with porn.Comment

Just goes to show how far a unique idea can take you.Comment

I bought some pixels when the entire page was still blank ,
got to know the page when it was just 1 week old because of the then already huge media attention
it was not the mainstream media , but the tech news sitesComment

Is it that time of the month for you. Sorry to upset you with this thread.Originally posted by LaceComment

It was definitely a unique idea. I kick myself for not coming up with it, not so much because it's unique but that it's so ridiculous. I would never guess that people would actually pay thousands for pixels. The ROI must be rather poor. But something unique and novel no matter how bizarre appeals to people. It's like my "My Pet Rock" in the 70's. A guy became a millionare by painting a faces onto rocks and putting a manual on how to take care of your pet rock.Originally posted by Batts
Props to him for understanding and capitalizing on that feature of people.Last edited by Drake; 01-04-2006, 08:25 PM.Comment

There was a 1 in 100,000,000 chance that kid's idea would succeed and he just got lucky. Not a big deal, sort of like someone winning the lotto.Comment

Agreed stupid idea that somehow got enough media attention to work & make money. The idea itself was not great. Selling pixels on a website with no traffic is not that smart if you ask me, nobody was going to buy traffic on a website with no traffic. BUT perhaps he is a marketing expert and planned the marketing of it or perhaps he just got lucky who knows?Originally posted by SomeCreep
He did get very lucky imo, good on him though, just shows what the power of the internet & media can do with something new.

He made the first $1,000 then paid for a press release through a marketing firm. That's how his site got picked up by all the media.
Smart fucker indeed.

I stumbled upon this pixel site that's not a bad idea either. Probably won't take off like the original, but still a good idea.

Anyone saying the "idea" is stupid, or not the great have to remember that an idea is worthless. Period.
Execution means everything.
You can have all the ideas in the world, great or bad, but if you don't execute on them, they're worthless.
I give the kid props for having the idea and implementing it. Even it it failed, at least he tried.Your post count means nothing.Comment
