The guy that sells pixels made 1M+ with http://milliondollarhomepage.com/

Basically he sells 1M "pixels" for $1 each to show advertisings. The pixels you buy have an expiration date so he probably sold more than 1M px. I read somewhere that it works pretty well and brings lots of users to advertisers, probably because of the press and the momentum generated around the service.

fosk, I knew the website just didnt have time to finish my comment, actually. But no, the pixels never expire.

What I learnt with his project is what it means when your project goes viral. To me noone in sound mind would pay a dollar for pixel, boy, I was wrong.

Now Alex Tew designed this one and its actually pretty cool as well: http://www.waterforward.org/

"The pixels you buy will be displayed on the homepage permanently. The homepage will not change."
