I know, but to make $ 152.000.00 on 1000 pixels is fucking great.

My money is on that somebody like Google will hire him for something.

SomeCreep · 01-05-2006, 10:22 PM

If that is a serious bid, then the person bidding is either mildly retarded or does not care about ROI.

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.

$5 submissions · 01-05-2006, 10:32 PM

The genius lies both in the concept and knowing how to HYPE his concept. That guy is going places.

Basically the kid got lucky. His story was picked up and spread around or something.

Exactly what I was thinking...

But I wonder how many of those bids are a fake user....

rowan · 01-05-2006, 11:13 PM

So he's made $990k already (assuming they were all actual sales and not his own affiliate links) and now he's ending with a bang at $150k+ more... very nice

BIGTYMER · 01-05-2006, 11:16 PM

Brother Bareback · 01-05-2006, 11:18 PM

check out the page views on that auction

292.093

kektex · 01-05-2006, 11:19 PM

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 $150K

shahab6 · 01-05-2006, 11:39 PM

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.

Rice_Master · 01-06-2006, 01:35 AM

I check the bid this morning and it was at $600,000

Now it's down to $150,000?

something is fishy.

Manowar · 01-06-2006, 01:39 AM

1 user took it from 30k to 130k

wtf

It's making Internet history. It will be listed through the Alexa network and many others soon.

BlueDesignStudios · 01-06-2006, 01:54 AM

the only ppl who made money was the kid, and perhaps some of the first ppl who bought pixels.. to pay that much for the last ones is stupid

I wonder how much the squatters on the reserved spots that are blank are thinking they will get for their spaces.

The kid made his own damn luck.

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.

Yes, hes not very smart

Drake · 01-06-2006, 10:38 AM

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.

It's not just about coming up w/ the idea, it's about getting the word out.

pornguy · 01-06-2006, 01:53 PM

I dont think that the kid is a marketing wiz or anything. I think that he got very lucky.

pornguy · 01-06-2006, 01:53 PM

Wonder what he has done with all the money. Think he will have anything to show for it in a year?

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.

I don't think all the existing space was "Sold".
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.

sickkittens · 01-06-2006, 03:12 PM

So the pixels aren't just good for one year?

BlueDesignStudios · 01-06-2006, 03:17 PM

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 off

Word of mouth helps alot. That's the luck part. Coming up w/ it before anyone else is the good idea part.

Please tell me you're not one of "those people" that believes everything the media tells you and considers any information from them "gospel"?

I'm pretty sure they all were duped by the RunAway bride.. maybe I'm wrong, but I seem to recall a few stories about her abduction and a search for the people who took her...

Go back to lurking until you wisen up.
