Pixelsrock.com takes a new twist on pixel advertising.
January 26, 2006 (PRLEAP.COM) Business News
Pixel advertising was invented by Alex Tew, a bright 21 year old college student. The premise is that a website can be configured to allow customers reserve and/or rent advertising space on the site in the form of what is refered to as "Pixels". Once purchased, the owner has the right to upload an image that will link or click-through to their website. Alex Tew has been incredibly successful with his venture, as he has received much media attention for his website: http://www.milliondollarhomepage.com. To date, he has sold one million dollars worth of pixel advertising, and his subscribers have received much success with click-throughs to their websites. In some instances, his subscribers have seen a increase in web activity over 10 times the norm as a result of advertising on the Pixel Ad website.
http://Pixelsrock.com puts a new twist on the pixel advertising idea: Half of the money you spend on an ad is used for advertising to bring people to the site to click on your ads. Your advertising money is being used twice over.
Also at 500,000 pixels sold, a design contest will be held, and the winner will get $50,000. When the pixels sold hit 1 million, another contest will be held, and the winner will recieve $100,000.
Pixelsrock.com also just started a visitor promotion - once we hit 500,000 pixels, one person that signed up for the newsletter will recieve $5,000, and at 1,000,000 pixels, one person that visited this site and signed up for the newsletter will recieve $10,000.
