If you have any doubt what the value of buying the last 1,00 pixels on Alex Tew\u2019s <\/font>Million Dollar Home Page<\/font><\/a> was take a look at the Alexa graph below. The winning <\/font>bidder<\/font><\/a> has a website that has skyrocketed on Alexa from obscurity to a one-week average of 7,642.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.
