cleverer than me... I was coating himoff a couple of weeks ago saying it was a crap idea. Shows you what I know - maybe if I start from 'the general public are morons' I'll get somewhere

Jesus that got full quick.

Rakan · 28-09-2005, 11:19

Why don't we put our heads together and come up with an even dumber idea to make money?

I'll even host it!... Let's rent out iFrames or something lol

seriously though... let's do it as a fun little project... it could even turn into a bonding experience... who knows, we may even get rich off of it! This dude is already blinging and he's been around for a couple of weeks...

hold on a sec... what if this dude is just playing with us... all those "sold" pixels could just be his own planting... to make everyone THINK he's getting rich... hmmm... food for thought...

Theres something thats bugging me about this site, I think it's a fake-designed by spamcocks to advertise thier products. take this guy
http://www.dreamwords.com/
his image is 6 x 6 blocks, using the price per pixel scheme, he has paid $3600 for that square - does it look like the website of someone who has $3600+ marketing budget?

aspiramedia · 30-09-2005, 12:01

Maybe he blew all his budget on advertising then had none left for the web design. Bet he got a friend to do it.

Looks like Auzzie's are cheapskates.

d*d · 30-09-2005, 12:04

these people:
http://www.engineseeker.com/

paid $6400, thats 3 and a half grand - theres no way people are paying the $1 a pixel

Limbo · 30-09-2005, 12:34

d*d

I know a few of SEO's who have shite looking sites (just like that) that rank really well and they make a killing - content and links is all that really matters for these people - design is nothing.

I reckon he's faked alot to get more publicity, so that some thick fuckwit thinks he's missing the boat and forks out a fortune on a massive patch of fuck all.

or not.

i'm tired.

Transmogrify · 30-09-2005, 16:18

You've got to wonder why all these "buy a pixel" sites are almost identical. What's that about?
