A new twist on Pixel advertising.

not a bad idea atleast it's more outside of the box then some of the newer pixel sites i've seen around

Billy Gates may have a thing or two to say about this.

PR NEWSFLASH! WWW.MILLIONPIXXX.COM reverses policy ? submit your site for free!

Pixel marketing is the latest buzzword borne from the phenomenal success of www.milliondollarhomepage.com whereby broke UK student Alex Tew set up a website and sold one million pixels at a buck each. The rest is history as his site ? if you can get to it ? bears witness. Mission accomplished for him.

?I remember thinking ?What a good idea? and wishing I had thought about it first? recalls Marc Jarrett, of www.password-by-phone and www.adultmobilesolutions.com fame.

Then a few days ago he received an email from an Israeli, offering him to buy advertising @ $1 a pixel at a similar site aimed at the adult industry.

It was evident from his email that the adult industry was alien to him, so Marc wrote back to him explaining that he could help him market the site to the AWM community if he so wished. ?No? came the curt reply, he simply wants to sell pixels on his unpopulated site and a buck each.

?By now I would doubly enraged? recalls Jarrett ?and in a moment for sheer greed and opportunism I decided to do it myself?

Upon posting this new venture to the AWM community, he was rightly criticised for jumping on the bandwagon. And then he thought : wrong business plan.

By selling a million pixels @ $1 each, it is obvious who stands to make the most. So Jarrett has revised his strategy ? advertising is free, as long as he feels the underlying content is, as he puts it, ?compelling? - and he will then sign up as an affiliate of the website in question.

?This way, everyone can share in the project with no investment and yet have common interest in helping the site succeed. In the unlikely event that it does, everyone profits and I profit the most? says Jarrett.

He feels that the concept of a random mosaic-style webpage crammed full of a broad spectrum of adult entertainment is a sound one can imagine this being a bookmark candidate for surfers.

Once the page is populated with a ?decent amount? of ads, a targeted B2C campaign will begin to attract surfers to the site.

?This is an open architecture project. Sales are at zero, stats are available for all to see on site? says Jarrett.

?Cynics amongst you will already written this project off. It might well fail. But as www.milliondollarhomepage.com demonstrated, viral rocks!?

An AVS page geo-targeted in 35 languages will be added shortly.

?This will even attract surfers!? predicts Jarrett ?A surfer from Iraq, for example, is pleased to see anything in Arabic?

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


Online Gambling Now Has A New Marketing Tool

February 1, 2006 ? New York

On February 3, 2006, Casinoicons.com will unveil a new website. They will offer
online gambling institutions the opportunity to rent icons that are linked to
their site. Unlike other sites that offer pixels to their customers,
Casinoicons.com will be offering actual icons. All of the icons will be
formatted at 32 x 32 pixels, and will be viewed in a desktop environment, which
is set at 1024 x 768. Therefore, only 99 icons are available to rent. Due to
the limited offering, they will be allocated on a first come first serve basis.
Because Casinoicons.com is not using pixels, their site will incorporate
attractive backgrounds that will be changed periodically. Their goal is to
encourage visitors to return on a regular basis to view the new layout.

This is a unique opportunity for online gaming organizations to advertise their
site for an initial price of $50 a month per icon. Participants can provide a
logo or customized picture to be used as their icon that will be placed on the
desktop for the standard rate. In addition, there is no limit regarding the
number of icons that may be purchased. The only requirement will be that a
separate website be associated with each, and the requested amount is
available. A small caption is included that can include up to 20 characters.
This can be used to encourage visitors to click on the link.

The priority spot on the desktop will be raffled off each month to one lucky
winner, who has purchased an icon. This organization?s link will be placed in
the #1 spot, and will be included on the Winner?s Page. Only sites, which
were purchased an icon in the previous month, will be eligible for the drawing.
If you would like more information on acquiring space on the desktop for your
organizations icon, please contact [email protected] or visit their
website at www.casinoicons.com.
