I got this release today about the last thousand pixels on the milliondollarhomepage being purchased. Amazingly I wrote about the wild fluctuations on the downside as a part of this auction. Now the auction which I witnessed with my own eyes as high as $152,100.00 dropped to $38,100 to a weight loss site.
I think a weight loss like this site is a great candidate to purchase these last few pixels as weight loss is a big business.
Perhaps the only surprise is that Vonage didn’t buy the pixels or even AT&T. Think about the publicity value of being written about so frequently as the winner of this auction.
How about a tie-in like this: Save millions with VoIP, see our ad on milliondollarhomepage. Hey, wait a minute. Perhaps Internet Telephony Conference & Expo should have purchased these pixels. Well, I guess there is always trumpingalex. I wonder if the founder of this site will cut us a break as I was the first to break the story about him.

-Online weight loss marketer outbids the competition for the final ad space on MillionDollarHomepage.com -
NEW YORK– The final 1,000 pixels of the MillionDollarHompage.com, a new Web site that serves as a conduit for advertisers to gain exposure by purchasing blocks of pixels that will link to their own home page, was purchased today by Elijah Kliger of Brooklyn, NY, director of business development at Netnutri.com for the new Web site www.MillionDollarWeightloss.com.
The one million pixels on the page were originally sold off at a price of $1 per pixel. Demand for the remaining space on the site was in such high demand that
Kliger’s winning bid for the final 1,000 pixels of this historical eBay auction was $38,100, far less than the highest bid of $160,000.
According to Kliger, “We are thrilled that Netnutri.com is able to be a part of Internet history and we look forward to receiving an excellent response for MillionDollarWeightloss.com on MillionDollarHomepage.com.”
The MillionDollarHomepage.com, which was created by Alex Tew, a 21-year-old college student from
Netnutri.com is an online retailer of nutritional supplements and other weight loss products.

Enterprising United Kingdom entrepreneur AJ, 26, decided to sell pixels via his website ThePixelWebsite.com as part of a scheme to make his first million by the age of 27. By the time the site is entirley sold out, the profit should make him a clear 1,110,000 GBP.
Following in the footsteps of Alex Tew's Milliondollarhomepage.com, AJ's http://www.thepixelwebsite.com is set to be the next big thing. It has received nearly 200,000 hits and sold 9000 pixels in the first seven days.
Milliondollarhomepage.com was the original idea - it had one million pixels on a page and sold each pixel for one dollar each. ThePixelWebsite.com has three million pixels on the page divided into three areas: top, middle and bottom. ThePixelWebsite.com is selling the top million at one pound per pixel, the middle million at 10p per pixel and the bottom million at 1p per pixel. This allows any type of business or company to advertise with it, regardless of budget. The bottom is likely to get sold out first.
"Its about time I started making money from the Internet," said AJ, founder of ThePixelWebsite.com. "I have dedicated about eight hours a day since the age of 17, for the last nine years on the net trying to make some money. I said to myself, 'I have to either make a million by the tenth year or give up the whole thing.'"
AJ also runs numerous other websites, some of which are extremely popular. However, ThePixelWebsite.com is set to be the biggest yet.
Here is an interesting blog entry that referes to a hybrid of a milliondollarhomepage type site with a viral marketing incentive.

Check out this new concept, a variation of milliondollarhomepage:
www.pixelauctionhomepage.net
The highest bidder gets the top ad space with 400x300 pixels.
It's starting with $0 Cent per Pixel!
New twist FOR BLOGGERS ONLY www.themilliondollarpageofblogs.com

I found another site, but it's quite different - it doesn't sell pixels, but rather letters. http://www.lettermatrix.com
