You've probably visited my site, a contest to be the last person to find a prize on a page filled with ads. What you don't know, there are never any winners. I simply get paid by companies whose ads you see to play. Because you sign up for the contest, I now have your email address and sell it to the companies for more money. What do you get in return? You do get something, you'll never win a prize but you'll get a mailbox full of spam messages. I'll get money and because I doubt you'll change your email address, I can keep reselling it. So thank you for visiting my site, continue to do so. Who knows, maybe someday someone will win. Ismail Ougradar PixaPrize Founder ismail@pixaprize.com Hello, some call me Ismail.

Tew’s million dollar homepage copy made online headlines in December, but never gained the media attention the original site saw. By mid-January, sales of the pixel ads had almost completely stopped, and worse even, existing ads began to disappear. A total of six large blocks that had been purchased are no longer on the Pixelotto grid.

Its offering a prize of one million like alex but is giving another million to charity. The best part about it is that it targets a new customer base by banning the advertising of websites which promote gambling, chat lines, pornography etc it aims to bring on board mainstream/ethical companies who appreciate that the a significant portion of the money they pay is going to charity. Its one off so no worry that our advert will be gone in a few months and registrants are not forced to click on links so everyone has an equal chance of winning and people who click on your link will genuinally be intrested in the site. Anyway this is my project, it launched today and allready have had a lot of intrest its just changing this into sales now! But let me know what you think, i reckon i have a chance, just wish I had a nice budget to promote it! Any ideas on free advertising most welcome lol!

I think sites like this would be better with the advertising cost being cheaper. It will draw more people in then that can afford it. I found a site called www.milliondollarnamegame.com where they are charging 5$ to advertise for at least 2 years but they are also doing a multiple money giveaway and are making some world record out of it to draw people back to the website to help the advertisers. Not sure if it would work or not? i agree with you. i like the site and the idea behind it but its just too expensive, unless your a larger company and 200$ or even several thousands are just pocket change.

The PageRank is distributed evenly among all of those links. You'd get more benefit buying a link on a normal PR5 page. It has PR7 but several hundred links on the page.
