Anyone reckon he'll reach a million? That would be incredible.
I think if he got some coverage in the Wall Street Journal or on some big TV shows he could. He may have already, I don't know. I think if he gets close he could spin it as "buy the last spots on this page."
I was told by my brother's girlfriend, that she saw it on television.
It was featured in the Gaurdian (one of the main uk papers) on Saturday .
He'll hit the million, no doubt.
Yeah, I was thinking, either it would slow down, or companies would be more keen to grab the last few spaces while they can.Quote:

I think it will be short lived. Let's face it, once the hype is over, it's not a great advertising medium. I wouldn't buy any space on any of them. Still a nice wacky idea though :)
Of course the traffic level will decrease significantly once the hype wears off, but I think that the original milliondollarhomepage will always keep some level of traffic just because of the links it's gathered and random people interested in checking it out over the next few years.
All of the imitators are probably destined for failure, but might make a few bucks along the way simply by annoying people. I receive a new email almost every day now from a new imitation site saying, "I noticed you advertised on milliondollarhomepage.com. Would you like to advertise on my copycat site? I think it will be even more successful and here are the BS reasons why...." :rolleyes:
In other news, the traffic for milliondollarhomepage has continued to steadily grow and so have the clicks it's been sending me: http://www.alexa.com/data/details/tr...arhomepage.com
He's nearly half way ($474,400) now: http://www.milliondollarhomepage.com/
He was on BBC morning news last week. Seemed rather smarmy.
Didn't see it. But the attention's probably gone to his head. Half a million dollars in the space of a couple of months! Makes for a straaaaaaaange tax situation I bet :)
Haha I didn't even consider that, but I'd say that he'll probably get screwed out of a lot of that money.Quote:

Yep. This is one case where a seriously good accountant would be required!
