Million Dollar Home Page hits 999k, auctions off last 1k on ebay
Alex, you lucky bugger you! The creative kid will reach $1 million next week when his ebay auction for the last 1,000 pixels ends. How crazy is that?!
For the math helpless out there, that means the milliondollarhomepage has hit 999,000 pixels sold, and at a dollar each, that means Alex has made a whopping $999,000 just by selling pixels. Man, I hope his little helper elves are getting what they deserve. A lot of work went into this whole operation.
A little excerpt from his Jan 1, 2006 blog post:
First things first, happy new year! It’s been an unbelievably exciting and busy few days with the recent surge of interest in the site. In the last 48 hours alone, the site has received over 1 million unique visitors, and yesterday was ranked 127th on Alexa’s list of ALL websites, in terms of traffic. I’ve never seen anything like it. The additional interest has been incredible, with literally thousands of new e-mails, tonnes of phone calls, media interest, and an avalanche of pixel orders that has taken the site [almost] to the finishing post.
Congrats to you Alex! I bet you’re enjoying the New Year in your own unique way.
