Alex Tew, the creator of The Million Dollar Homepage is trying his luck again. The Million Dollar Homepage was a brilliant idea, which made one man a millionaire. He sold ad space at 1 dollar per pixel, with 1 million pixels on the homepage. People who bought advertising space were promised that the link would remain for as long as his site was up. Because of the extreme success of his first idea, he will try to make a Two Million Dollar Homepage which will be named Pixelotto. Ad space will be $2 a pixel this time around, but there is a catch. To add some fresh ideas to the site registered users will be able to click on a random pixel in hopes of winning 1 million dollars.
Apparently the site is already starting to be a success before it opens. Alex is sending letters out to some sites offering ad space before the site opens on December 5th. According to some websites he’s already raked in $20,000! With all the publicity this site is getting, it’s almost a sure success. Anyone who purchases ad space will definitely be getting a lot of hits from people attempting to win the 1 million dollars being offered.
From Tech Crunch comments:
Hi
I have some very exciting news I’d like to share with you.
Next week, on 5th December, I am launching a new venture called “˜Pixelotto’. It’s similar to The Million Dollar Homepage only this time I will be giving away $1,000,000!
It’s all based around pixel advertising and generating big traffic for advertisers. Visitors play for free - all they have to do is click on the ads for chances to win the jackpot. The more they click, the more chances they have - and the more traffic you receive.
As a valued customer of The Million Dollar Homepage, I’d like to give you an exclusive opportunity to purchase advertising space on Pixelotto before the site goes public. The world will be watching next week and this is your chance to get on-board before everyone else.
The following link will give you exclusive access to Pixelotto, where you can buy ad space right now:

If you have any questions don’t hesitate to e-mail me and my team at info@pixelotto.com
I look forward to welcoming you on-board for this new pixel adventure!
Cheers,
Alex Tew

[...] Lighting can’t strike twice I guess, because Alex Tew’s second chance at a million dollars is almost a complete failure. 20 days ago, I reported that he’d be trying his luck again, with a slightly different approach. He was going to charge $2 a pixel, and have a lottery for the extra one million earned. Surprisingly enough the idea didn’t work. For the last 2 weeks or so, he’s been stuck at the same amount of money earned ($143,000) . Some advertises are even starting to remove their ads from Alex’s website out of disappointment. http://www.rc.am digitalkind.co.uk JobsGroup.net tnfd.co.uk exclusive-...illa.co.uk missyrose.co.uk [...]
