Pixels are Back Again – Will Lightning Strike Twice?

Dec 5, 2006

Alex Tew of the MillionDollarHomepage has launched his next big idea, Pixelotto. Instead of $1 per pixel for ad space that people forget about, this new twist has advertisers paying twice the old amount, but adds incentive for players to click on ads by offering a winner $1 million once all the ads are sold.

To win, you just have to sign up and click up to 10 ads per day. I assume each click (up to 10 per day) counts as an entry. He says that once all ad space is sold, he will wait a month and then choose a winning ad space. The winner will be chosen from everyone who has clicked on that ad.

To make you feel better, he adds that the winner gets to nominate a charity to receive $100K. Just in case the advertising does not sell, the winner gets half the sold ad revenue and the charity 10%.

I really want to be critical and call this a scam that will fail, but with Alex’s track record and many happy advertisers from the first time, he is already doing well. The total is already over $90,000, and I have seen the number move today while writing this post!

    I bet that it not only sells out, but that it sells out even faster than his first one. It's a unique twist that I think will provide even more value for the advertisers than the first one.

    Yeah real unique. You'd think he'd be a bit more innovative.

    It will be interesting to see if ours, which tried to build on his first idea and has an affiliate programme, and came out months ago, gets some momentum out of this.
