The Million Dollar Homepage Blog
Posted on October 1, 2005
The Million Dollar Homepage is a money making project run by Alex Tew as a way to pay for college. Alex has divided the homepage into pixels and he is selling 1,000,000 pixels, for $1 each. How is Alex Tew doing with his unusual project? According to his blog it sounds like he is doing great in the traffic department.
ALex says, "I remember posting how the stats have 'gone through the roof' on more than one occasion, but they really have this week - with over 200,000 unique visitors in the last 3 DAYS! 91,000 uniques on Monday alone. Currently 3rd in Alexa's movers and shakers list, and ranked in the top 1000 sites on the internet in terms of pure traffic / visitor numbers."
Alex says he has a huge email backlog because he has been busy with the pixel selling website. He is like 2,000 emails behind.
Alex has sold over 240,100 pixels so sales are very good as well. He blogs that he has already made more than enough to pay for his next 3 years of school as well as some nerdish looking space invader socks. There are currently no permalinks on Alex's blog so you will have to scroll down the page if you want to see the socks he bought.
Alex's sales by pixels method are likely something few others will be able to duplicate.
