If you have any doubt what the value of buying the last 1,00 pixels on Alex Tew’s Million Dollar Home Page was take a look at the Alexa graph below. The winning bidder has a website that has skyrocketed on Alexa from obscurity to a one-week average of 7,642.
The site ascended so quickly in fact that there is no 3-month average. This would seem like a smart purchase for the company. In terms of unique visitors, I estimate that at this Alexa ranking and 1 page view per visitor the company is likely attracting 500,000+ unique visitors per month.

Now that the auction is over I wonder if the pixel ad industry will find a way to sustain the immense traffic it has generated for the various ad sites and the advertisers supporting them.

‘a Devon business with global ambition’
Date: Monday 16 January 2006
Australia asks Devon Designer for Help
Devon internet businessman and web designer Alan Wheeler has launched an innovative web advertising service which has already attracted an international company to sign up.
Bovey Tracey based Mr Wheeler has also been asked by Australian charity ‘Hope for Children’ to help them design and set up a similar web-based advertising service.
His web-service http://www.millionairepixels.co.uk enables businesses to buy a square of pixels, on the web page. Customers click on the coloured pixels and are immediately transported to the advertiser’s web site.
With each block of 100 pixels costing just £60 (60p per unit) it is, believes Mr Wheeler, one of the best value advertising and promotion options for businesses of all sizes and a potentially valuable boost to tourism related services.
And, in the longer term, advertisers could end up bidding for space on what is being described as internet ‘real estate’.
Mr Wheeler, aged 42, said “It’s a quick and easy way for people to find a service or firm and it also gives competitive advantage to the businesses because, with the millions of web sites available, this will draw potential customers to them much more easily.”
“Without a doubt there are people globally willing to pay for quite gimmicky advertising solutions. The internet is a fast moving place with over eight million web pages added on a daily basis. For a website to stand out and generate sales it needs to stand out from the rest,” he added
Last autumn university student Alex Tew set up the Million Dollar site and since then has been overwhelmed by the success of a venture intended to raise enough money to pay for his way through university.
Alan Wheeler’s http://www.millionairepixels.co.uk is, he says, the next big step in the concept because, in effect, businesses are ‘leasing’ virtual real estate on the web to promote their businesses.
Launched just two weeks ago, http://www.millionairepixels.co.uk has already won the backing of international business Optis Europe Ltd, an operations management company, which is using the site to promote its business.
With more customers advertising it is, says Mr Wheeler, inevitable that like real property, some of the pixels on his site will become increasingly valuable for their ‘owners’ as more business is generated.
However, the last 1200 pixels, or advertising blocks, will eventually be auctioned off in support of the Great Ormond Street Children’s Hospital, said Mr Wheeler.

June 29, 2006 at 12:00 amI 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 🙂

best weight loss pills
July 6, 2009 at 9:31 amTechniques for keeping a strong mind-body connection can be so rewarding after a very hard physical workout, but I’ve always wondered how a medically supervised, calorie-restricted eating plan is ever effective. Yeah, it’ll get you immediate weight loss results, but in the long run, you’re just going to put the weight and more back on. How is this healthy? I can’t ever see a calorie-restricted diet, supervised or not, ever being a healthy or successful option. It’s basic science. Anybody have any thoughts? Up to me best weight loss pills are the best way to loss weight.
