Everyone know million dollar homepages. They're selling pixels for your advertising. But I do not understand how could so tiny banner (10x10px) increase number of visitors 100 times as they say in their case study. I do not believe, that so many people could click to just that 10x10px area, especially, when there is so huge amount of other banners. Why should so many people choose just that one from hundreds? If that case study is truth, there should be another trick, but how it works?

I agree with you Mareq.

Perhaps they are hoping people will buy about a hundred 10x10 pixels all within a small area so that they can form a larger ad?

correct :o

So that case study is only an advertisement which is simple lie?

its called "marketing". you may work in an association not a business :p no offense

Hehe, yepp, I know, I've just said it more straightforward... :o)

I read, from I think Matt Cutts, that said the milliondollarhomepage isn't going to be passing pagerank to anybody who bought links.

Advertisers on Million Dollar Homepage got so much increase in activity because of the million dollar viral promotion that MDH site got.

For the other Cookie Cutter 'Pixel sites' that have sprung up lately it is next to impossible to offer that kind of exposure as the original MDH site gave!

I have checked some of them. I have seen the "original" too. I see the idea of the exposure: people do come to see. But I wonder .. how many ACTUALY click those small crowded ads? I have spent like 3 seconds on the site: "Oh, OK, nice. Good idea. Let's move on." .. if many other visitors did the same as I did, methinks some of the people paid for ads that weren't clicked ....
