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.

Jake, now you're not only wasting my time but my money as well ;)

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

So where's your ad, Aaron?

And I wish I had an extra $100, as I'd spend it on this.

Red any Yellow under the 3 in "365" upper right hand corner...

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?
