wish i thought of that

cause 2.7 million unique visitors visit his page every week so its a good place to advertise. genius!

What the. DAAAAMN. Why would someone pay 1000 dollars.

Edit - Oh Lol.

Still. ITS A LOT OF MONEY !

How interesting...

That rich bastard.

Oh, and uh. Advertising on the internet runs up way higher than 1000 dollars in many many cases, and since he had such a creative idea that made his site famous, the 1000 dollars seems reasonable. So that's probably why companies would pay.

its not 1000 dollars anymore, look at the ebay auction. 152,000 for 1000 pixels

1,000 dollars for a 10 by 10 pixel space?

Jeez. Still. I suppose that if you were a company, 1,000 dollars really isn't that much. It probably just sounds like a lot because we're all broke =)

oh wow. i wouldn't pay that much for ANYTHING. besides a car or something which would probably cost a lot mnore but still.... :P

Oh. and about a 10 by 10 square costing 1,000 bucks? Wouldn't it be 100? Because I checked the site and it said $1 per pixel.

yeah i've seen that before. i find it amazing how well that ended up working for him.

some people can't multiply, methinks.

lol i didnt write that got it off nt
dunno about the accuracy

Holy moly. He gets the money by ads.

LOL Clay.
The next Tom.. .

smart.....but iono. sounds lame. i mean, who would actually want to buy pixels?

that is very intersting. funny how he does look like clay aiken. haha...

he will have more than one million
his ebay auction is at 150K +
plus all of the publicity he has been on all the major magazines and tv stations

Current bid: US $152,300.00

LOL The most success I've ever had with an Ebay auction.. Well, I think I'm having it right now. I'm selling the complete set of Sailor Moon manga, and so far it's doing a lot better than I thought it would.

If I had the money I'd have bought a space just for bragging rights.

Ughh!!! I hate this kid... I'm freakin jealous!! >___<

But I admire his idea.

But how did he get his site popular for companies to want to advertise there?

smart guy.
jealous jealous

I'm not jelous. If I put my mind up to it I could invent something practical and make millions of that, too. Something like the bottlecap...

Well, yeah, I meant before the last 1000 pixels. He still had publicity before then.

wtf. That's so ... wow.

No, you can't.

old news. this idea would never have worked though if people didn't talk about it. he's successful because of free publicity.

^
still... success is success. im with suzzette. more power to him

I keep looking at the title of this thread and thinking it says "Alex Tew and his mom"

Anyways, that's weirddddddd. Good idea though.

i love how he has copy-cat sites now too. and some of them even advertise on his site!

Holy sh*t...that page is kinda scary...

if it was that easy.. there would be no homeless beggars

Wow....the page looks really cool too. All those adds grouped together.
lol and he does look like Clay Aiken, lol. Good idea though, this kid is smart.

its funny some of you say that why would you pay that much money. right now we are viewing those ads because we dont see the big deal while he is actually advertising right at this moment.

Look closer, it's digg who is behind all his fame...

interesting, indeed! *noD*

how interesting.

that's pretty insane.

wow. that's a pretty brilliant idea.

rich bitch

Apparently you can copyright the idea of selling pixels, as it could be caterorised under inventive commercial techniques under New Business and Retail Theories, and therefore by doing this he will have to stop selling the pixels and stop advertising stuff on his website, by stopping what he's already doing, he will be breaching an industrial contract and get sued and will have to pay millions for the company's losses. The idea is ingenius, but right now every one of us has the freedom to do what he is doing unless he copyrights the idea.

i never even heard of this site.. weird stuff.. but n e wayz.. whatever makes other ppl rich....

muchos casinos!
and dont be jealous
be happy for your fellow human

[edit]
-reads other article about him being copying someone else-
nevermind -hiss-

Go him! I wish I had thought of it though... think of the shoes I could buy!

A millionaire and he couldn't afford a better photographer?
