Why Didn't I Think of This?
Because I guess I'm just not all that smart. This guy's got one-million pixels for sale on his page. You can buy a pixel for $1 (in blocks of 100). Buy a big ad, or small, and you have the million dollar home page. He still has over 800,000 pixels left, but that means he's sold nearly $200,000 worth of space.
Still a damn brilliant idea. Anybody want to front $100 for an utterlyboring.com perma-link on there? The donate page is here.

My space has been claimed :)
Hoping that over 5 years the adsense revenue will make up for the initial investment... I'm sure it will
Jake said on 09/29/05 @ 09:03 AM: So where's your ad, Aaron?
And I wish I had an extra $100, as I'd spend it on this.

The only reason I did it was because I had $102 in my PayPal account, and I had a couple beers...
I'm starting to wonder what the point really was. But am keeping an eye on my referrer stats and seeing if anyone is coming in... 5 years, it's gotta pay for itself... right?

What are you doing down here? Don't you have something better to do? Like Go Back To The Top of the page, or even see who created this site?
