He already is "rolling in it". heh...wish I would have thought of that. (Who doesn't?) -

If that is a serious bid, then the person bidding is either mildly retarded or does not care about ROI.Last edited by SomeCreep; 01-05-2006, 08:23 PM.Comment

Nope not at all. They are hoping for good media coverage. Same deal as the companies that buy grilled cheese sandwiches shaped like the virgin Mary.Originally posted by SomeCreep

Well this kid certainly struck gold, but the person that is bidding that much for those last pixels is very dumb.Once the last pixels are sold , the hype will die and that will be the end of those $150Kexgfmovies.com, exgfclips.com, datesx.com, gayboards.com and more!Comment

Why would someone pay that much?
Its not even targeted traffic, and 10 months from now, no body is even going to go to that website. They could spend that money on a better advertisement.Last edited by shahab6; 01-05-2006, 09:40 PM.Comment

The kid made his own damn luck.Originally posted by Paraskass
P.S. The replies in this thread show just how stupid the average person is. You guys don't know your ass from a hole in the ground and are critiquing a guy that made over a million dollars in a few months for nothing and those that can afford $150,000 for an ad spot. Open your eyes, wipe the shit out of them, and slap yourselves in the face for being completely stupid and having absolutely 0 sense common or otherwise.

The kid is filling the pixels with his own affiliate codes - basically building his own hype to make it look like he's making a killing - which alot of you are buying into.Originally posted by $$$

He'll parlay this into bigger things - either starting new projects or getting hired at some prestigious company.
Like 5submisisons said, the genius was in the unique concept and the ability to hype it. I'm still not sure how he did the latter. If he had come to GFY two years ago saying he was going to start a webpage and charge people $1 per pixel on a site that has no traffic, everybody would have laughed at him. But the concept was cute and original, and goal oriented (the benchmark of reaching $1million, pay his way thru school with his novelty, could he do it?) that people could actively participate in by buying spots or by watching the progress on his site of how many ads have been sold. His story must have got picked up by some media sources, by his own effort, by world of mouth, or by luck and caught on life wildfire. Good stuff.Last edited by Drake; 01-06-2006, 08:40 AM.Comment

I'm betting that the winner will either be a) fake or b) an online casino that will earn back more than their investment from all the media mentions when the auction is over and this kids all over the news.Comment

I don't think all the existing space was "Sold".Originally posted by pornguy
I would guess most of the first 250,000 pixels or so were given away or
sold dirt cheap to make it look like he was raking in $ off it.
Like has been said before, the idea of a banner farm isn't all that amazing...
It's getting buyers to think a brand new website was a place to drop
hundreds of dollars on an ad... that was his achievement.
Chances are he has no other ideas, so outside of him leveraging his $
or fame... This is the last you'll hear from him.Comment

ok here's a question
some say it was a great idea, others say he got lucky.. what would you put it down to?
I'd say that it was a great idea, 20%, but got lucky, 80%.. if he never got shown on the tv networks I doubt his site would have taken offComment
