The 1000 Word Page

June 26th, 2006 by Chris

Of all the million dollar homepage clones out there this one I think has the most merit. Its another stupid idea of course, but a stupid idea with lots of media attention equals lots of traffic.

Lee over at forum trends posts that he knows of someone already getting 1000 visitors a day through their sponsored word. If thats true then I have got to imagine that it is worth it.

I just bought three links and looking through the word list I might buy more. I figured I’d stop at 3 for a day or two though and hedge that the ones I want will not be sold out by then. This way I can judge for myself the traffic potential.

One potential downside is that you may not get any incoming link value from these links since they’re unfortunately passed through a redirect. Its hard to say though.

One of the sites I advertised consistently gets an eCPM on Google of over $50, so I figure that it is reasonable to make back my investment even if the site only has popularity for a few months.

Another thing I did was immediately check to see if the1000wordpage.com was available (since the website left the “the” out of their domain). Unfortunately some lucky guy in Paris beat me to it.

I’ve been wanting to reinvest more into my business, this was a good opportunity. The worst case scenario is I end up with a tax writeoff, Uncle Sam will get a little less this year.

One more bit of advice. The word order is randomly regenerated frequently, so don’t buy the first word with expectations of more traffic.

    Chris,

    Also see http://www.500words.com which is successful competitor to the one we both blogged about. There are likely 10 or more others that have popped up as well.

    I was thinking about buying a link on the 1000 word page, then when I was looking at some of the sites that had purchased links, I saw a hitcounter on one of them. I decided to check that site again in 1 day to see how much total traffic it had received in 24 hours and it was about 20 hits.
