Comment on The Million Dollar Homepage (2005)

Comments

What I don't understand about the idea was why would anyone visit a page full of ads? Did the owner sign deals with the major browser vendors at the time?

I really, why would anyone want to visit a page with nothing more than 1,000,000 pixels of ads?

Because of the novelty of some unknown person selling pixels for a dollar each and making a million dollars. I think this was covered on the Today show and other media outlets IIRC.

for scammy SEO. it was linked everywhere so it was good ranking. most ads are the usual cheap casino rolex click here kind of thing.
