Because chances are, Alex Tew, a 21-year-old student from a small town in England, is cleverer than you. And he is proving it by earning a cool million dollars in four months on the Internet.

Selling porn? Dealing prescription drugs? Nope. All he sells are pixels, the tiny dots on the screen that appear when you call up his home page...

Here is the web site that made him $1 million www.milliondollarhomepage.com There are only 30,000 pixels left, hurry, hurry, $1 per pixel for untargeted advertising . Do I think pixel advertising is the wave of the future...nooooooo. I think the novelty (and the traffic) will wear off quickly Smile

wow last time I checked the page was pretty much empty!

There are a bunch of copycat pixel advertising sites now too.

Sold Out! The last 1000 pixels are on auction on ebay.

This guy is now set up for life, if he can hang on to it.

I wonder what Charles Darwin would think -- survival of the flakiest?

Quote:The final 1,000 pixels on the Million Dollar Homepage sold for $38,100 earlier this week, netting 21 year old UK student Alex Tew the final amount needed to cross the US$1 million target barrier.

However, disaster struck early yesterday when the site was targeted by electronic attackers and knocked off the web for some extended period of time by a DDoS attack.
