Last 1,000 Pixels on MillionDollarHomepage.com go for $38,100

The last 1,000 pixels on the MillionDollarHomepage.com went for $38,100 on eBay. Not bad when you consider the usual price is $1 per pixel not $38.1.

I think the story behind this site is fantastic. The owner of the site is a 21 year-old student who came up with the idea in his nightly brainstorming session when trying to tackle the problem of how to pay off his student debts. Four months later he’s got $1m dollars in the bank. Good work fella!

  • This is not good. the bidder was fake.
  • I believe that Alex’s site still generates some indirect value for advertisers at least by improving their visibility in search engines. It has a PageRank of 7 and many still continue to add links to it (by the way, this article has just added one link). So, getting the link from website with such a high PageRank for as low as 1$ it is clearly a reasonable investment.
    Good luck to all the copycats :)

    Hi!
    I have found something interesting. Its name is Dredi and it seems to be a new way to navigate the net by changing how people access a web. "With this service, the owner of a web with the adress 'http://www.hostname.com/section/username/' could buy an easy to remember drediword linking this adress. By entering that word in the dredi webpage, users will be instantly redirected to 'http://www.hostname.com/section/username/'".

    I am skeptical about this but it is quite original idea.

    Check it on dredi.com

    See u!

    I still think this is one of the most simple, and brilliant ideas on the net. Still boggles my mind.
