 ▇ My head!

 I can't see clearly.

 Oh god! What's wrong?

 Everything looks strange.

 Flat. Fuzzy

 Where am I?

 Wait. Someone's there. I can

 see movement...

 Who.. who are you?

 SAY SOMETHING!

 please

 Let me think.

 I've got to clear my head.

 What's the last thing I

 remember?

 Think!!!

 Last night.

 After last night's

 design industry talk

 in the city.

 An intense man with a

 heavy accent tried to strike

 up a conversation at the bar

 He asked what I thought of

 the presentation, and then

 suddenly he was blabbering

 about vector art.

 WTF?!!

 I mean, vectors - pixels.

 Whatever's right for a job.

 Right?

but

 this guy was creepy!

 Victor I think his name was.

 When I mentioned I'm selling

 pixel ads for $1, he

 suddenly went quiet.

 /totally/ freaked me out.

 That's the last thing I

 remember.

  before here

 Did he buy me a drink?

 said something about a

 website against pixels?

 Against pixels.

 No...

  People

  against

  pixels

 a dot com?

 PeopleAgainstPixels

 God - that's him! Viktor.

 I've got to get out of here!

    Help!

 there

       must be a way... ▇

All good ideas are reworked endlessly, but a myth has grown up around the original Million Dollar Homepage that it can never be repeated.

I'd argue no one's tried determinedly in recent years, and that's a blind-spot waiting to be explored (see this story). So that's what I'm doing...

Take a look around — check out the blog, play with the categories tab over on the left, or try entering the Konami Code to discover some of the hidden easter eggs. Click a few ads! Find out who the Cubists are.

This page even features the world's smallest online ads! Buy a 100 pixels for $1 and let's re-make internet history.

“Ads with depth”

Buy pixels

Pixel ads in the Cube are for sale under a progressive pricing model:

The price of pixel ads here will rise as more ads are sold, proportionally to whatever percentage of the Cube's pixels have been sold at the time of an ad’s purchase (currently that’s 1%)
When and IF all 1 million pixels are sold: past buyers will have the option to renew their ad for another 3 years by paying whatever amount will bring the full payment for their ad up to $1 per pixel, or to let their ad lapse.

That's it!

No cost-per-click! No fee-per-impression!
Never pay another dime.

Google got you using
bAdwords?

Playing the Adwords game is a juggling act of calculating how much to bid for keywords, at a given placement, in a certain region, etc.

It's complex, and there's a good chance you'll spend a lot of money with zero result before getting the hang of it. For newbies it's a minefield. No wonder Google’s swimming in cash!

If you're spending $10 a month on Adwords, or $1000, you'll see how this offer is an easy alternative. Stick it to da man! Google can afford to miss $1!

Really, what have you to lose? :-)
