Great idea & so simple.

So he set up a web page where people could post spam, and the. Charged for it?

Great that it worked for him, fuck knows why it did though....

Depends how you look at it, i see spam as irrelevant shit that gets shoved down your throat whether you like it or not.

This i see as simple (maybe overwhelming) advertising, it's not in your face (at least until he didn't appear on T.V) & it works, plenty of the big buyers have probably had quite a few customers as nothing is forced on you, people visit the website knowing full well what it's for.

Imagine if it had pop ups.

It was a great gimmick at the time, I remember it being reported as a great novelty item.

Beyond that, its not a repeatable thing. (I wouldn't have thought anyway.)

I remember it filled up pretty quick then of course the clone type sites appeared that where pixels for 50 cents etc.

Good on him for getting money out of idiots.

The guy got a really good job out of that site. What happened was that he posted it everywhere, a few bored people bought a pixel or 2. Then when he continued to tell people about it and they saw pixels had been bought the clever ones realised this might become a big thing and bought pixels so that once it was famous they would have been a part of it. National press and TV picked up on it and companies started buying advertising space on it so every time it was mentioned their logo got shown. There was then a mad race to get a pixel before the whole thing was full.


The end result is that at no significant expense to anyone, the guy became a millionaire. In many ways it was a groundbreaker for many of the current online sites methods of making huge amounts of money.
