Pixel advertisments? A new crazy idea that works...

Before the post about my current investment status with autosurfers I felt like posting a bit about this new trend about pixel advertisment. If you don't know anything about it here is what wikipedia says about this concept and his originator:

'The Million Dollar Homepage is a website conceived by Alex Tew, a 21 year old from Wiltshire, England to help raise money for his university education. Launched on August 26th, 2005, the website has (as of October 24th) generated a gross income of USD $474,400 and has a Google PageRank of 7.
The index page of the site consists of a 1000 x 1000 pixel grid (one million pixels), which he sells image-based links on for US $1 per pixel. A person who buys one or more of these pixelblocks can design a tiny image which will be displayed on them, and also decide a URL which he or she wants them to link to. The aim of the site is to sell all of the pixels in the image, thus generating one million dollars of income for the creator.'

Well, I can not hide that I feel a bit depressed I have not come first with this idea - it is so simple that makes it briliant. It is so good that you erase it from your mind the same monent you conceive it because you (falsely) believe it will never work or that someone else would already have think about it. I guess that the moral of the story is to think possitive and always try ideas that need a minimum investment and have the potential of making a difference to your life.

I am certain that the next years a few more person will come up with such brilliant ideas and the determination to give them a try. This will change their lifes for ever. Why not become one of them?
