A million-dollar home page

A 21-year-old in England is hoping an idea he had in the middle of the night will help pay his way through college.

Alex Tew, who will start his studies at a university in England at the end of the month, has come up with a scheme to make himself an easy $1 million dollars. Tew built a Web site called the The Million Dollar Homepage, which he is selling off to advertisers, pixel by pixel. The page is broken up into 10,000 100-pixel squares; Tew sells the 100-pixel squares off for $100 each, or $1 per pixel.

Currently, Tew looks to have sold close to 100 of the blocks--with squares pointing to online poker sites, dating services and even a yarn and sweater shop in Maine. So even if his clever site never yields the million he's hoping for, it's already making big returns for some teensy tiny ad space.

That site idea is an amazing one, truely unique! I discovered www.themysterbag.com the other day. It appears to go in the opposite direction, the site displays companys banner ads in all size on it's main page. Hidden somewhere inbetween the adds they have hidden to entry form blanks( one for name & the other for e-mail) if you van locate them and the also hidden submit button you are entered into their contest drawings for prizes from the companies that have their ad banners displayed. So basically all you have to do is look past the ads to win prizes, litteraly! Looks like it definitely has the potential to be the next milliondollairehomepage, but you can judge for your self.
