Is This The Worst MillionDollarHomepage Clone Ever?

December 15th, 2006 • Related • Filed Under

turf.gifThere doesn’t seem to be a shortage of people trying to cash in on Alex Tew’s success with the milliondollarhomepage, including Alex himself with Pixelotto.

I’ve seen some pretty bad clones over the last 6 months or so, including Christmas Tag, but TurfJam is the worst MillionDollarHomepage Clone I’ve seen where the creators have actually spent more than 5 minutes setting it up.

How does it work? Well there are 100 pieces of ‘Turf’ available and 10 will be released at a time. Interested Turf owners (and there won’t be many!) bid on eBay for the privilidge of owning their own little piece of turf. For those lucky bidders who manage to secure a little piece of Turf, they will be able to proudly display their link for an expected 2 years.
Surprisingly, there doesn’t seem to be a lot of interest in the eBay auctions so far:

I’m not against anybody making money, but I get tired of people who think they can make a fortune overnight without putting in any real effort. Alex may have done it, but to be honest it was a fluke in my view, and even he is struggling to turn Pixelotto into a success.

    I agree with you. I review web sites on my blog and routinely out the copy cats who are so unoriginal it makes me vomit. A few sites are starting to innovate what the Tew clones failed to do… http://www.isquare.it, http://www.wallaroundtheworld.com, and other such sites like http://www.kingofthebill.com even are starting to generate a buzz.

    Kingofthebill is sure a great site with a great idea behind.

    I have seen that many other sites are growing following it. For example you can see http://www.topofegold.com a similar system based on e-gold as payment method.

    Who know how many other site will we see as these?
