Alex Tew & The “Million Dollar Home Page”
By CleverSage | March 15, 2008
The “Million Dollar Home Page” was the brainchild of a young college student, Alex Tew. Alex created the site in hopes of earning $1,000,000 by selling advertising on pixels on his site. The ads were sold in blocks of 10 pixels at a cost of $1 per pixel, thus in order for Alex to earn the one million that he was shooting for he would have to sell one million pixels.
The site’s popularity and sales of pixels grew amazingly fast. Started in the summer of 2005, Alex managed to sell over $1,000,000 worth of ad space on his site in just a little over four months. Many contribute the site’s novelty and word-of-mouth that helped sell-out the pixels in such a short amount of time.
After finishing the ad sales for the Million Dollar Home Page, Alex attempted to start another site Pixelotto, which by many accounts was underwhelming and produced mediocre results. However, the site did still manage to bring in over $100,000 in a few months.
