The main idea of this site is to sell 1,000,000 pixels (one million). The main motivation of doing this is to secure my son future, and to give him the best start he can get. I want to close part of the money in savings scheme, so when he will get to the age of 18 he will have amount of money to start is life(for studies , house, and al other staff). And with the rest of the money I will raise him with a king treatment like he should get. So, everyone is welcome to buy my pixels, which are available in 100-pixel 'blocks' (each measuring 10x10 pixels). You will see the homepage is divided into 10,000 of these 100-pixel blocks (hence there are 1,000,000 pixels in total). The reason for selling them in 100-pixel blocks is because anything smaller would be too small to display anything meaningful. You can buy as many pixels as you like, as long as there are some available (see the live stats in the top left corner of the home page). When you buy some pixels, you can then display an image/ad/logo of your choice in the space you have purchased. You can also have the image click through to your own website. However, no obscene or offensive images are allowed. The pixels you buy will be displayed on the homepage permanently. The homepage will not change. Using some of the money I make from the site, I guarantee to keep it online for at least 5 years, but hopefully much longer. I want it to become a kind of internet time capsule. So, in the long run, I believe the pixels will offer good value.
My name is Super Ace, I’m 29 years old and I have a beautiful wife Morana and 1 year and 4 months baby boy called Noam . I have 5 brothers and sisters, and I’m the youngest son in my family. I grow up with great family, and loving father and mother. we have a lot of problems regarding to money and I started to work at the age of 13 to support my family when I got to the age of 18 I did not have any dollar in bank account, and I had a very hard times until I managed to stable my financial status. And I want to change it for my son, so when my son will get to the age of 18 he will be with some money to start is life.
This site can look funny for the obvious reasons, but despite the funny custom this is a very serious site with serious goals!!
For sure I am not genius like I wrote in my home page if I was genius I provably wrote already a genius searching engine like the Google Guys or something like that. But I am a wise man (degree in computer!! ) and very loving and happy guy with one specific goal to get !!
One time when I was in a middle of my sleep, I have a lighting moment and voice in the dark told me you should build a new website to sell pixels!! Just joking of course !!
I always wanted to do something special that I will be proud in, and I love computers and my baby son, so it just natural that I will do something that combined both. I started to works on number of different projects but all of them failed in some point due to lack of money, or lack of time and more and more. Until one day when I was in my second year in my studies a good friend told about this site : http://www.milliondollarhomepage.com and the first thing that I tried to do was to buy pixels in this site, but all of them were already sold out. From that moment I knew that same day I will publish similar site.
First of all 1 million dollars is not so much with the status of the dollar today, and in more serious manner from what I saw until now to raise a baby it cost plenty of money. Diaper and baby food (Materna he love this food) and things for is room and baby trolley it cost so much money that you only can guess when it start but not where it finish (all the costs). So I will use most of the money for him, and I will open a new bank account on his name and put there part of the money. With money that will be remained (if any) I will close my mortgage. And after all that if i will still left with some money I will take my wife and my son to a little vacation in the Caribbean island :).
Little Noam With Mom!!
Promise my son better life i hope!!
The main reason that I think of is simple you will have image that link to your personal website or photo collection. The site can potentially be seeing by millions of people all over the world. So you will have advertisement in this site for years !! for now it sure will be online for the next five years and I can only hope that it will be forever(as long as I will have the money to maintain it).
I decided that although it would probably be cool if individuals could buy a single pixel each, in practise, it wouldn't so effective. The reason I believe this is because you can't display anything meaningful in one pixel - nor click it easily - so visually, it would be pointless. With thousands of random tiny coloured dots all over the place, the homepage would look gastly.
I also thought that the site would appeal more to people with businesses/websites to advertise than it would to individuals, or to put it more accurately, businesses would pay more to have a meaningful graphic on the homepage. Hence the minimum purchase is $100 - a 10x10 block.
However! If you really want to own a single pixel, there is always the option of clubbing together with your friends/family/colleauges and buying a 10x10 block.
The site will be online for 5 years guaranteed (at least until 26th April 2014), however the aim is to keep the site online forever (or as long as humanly possible).
The idea is to create something of an internet time capsule: a homepage that is unique and permanent. Everything on the internet keeps changing so fast, it will be nice to have something that stays solid and permanent for many years. You can be a part of that!
I think US dollars are the closest thing we have to a universal currency on the internet, so it made more sense to do it in dollars. 'The Million Pounds babys' just doesn't have the same ring to it!
Also, given that the US has the largest online population in the world, more people will be able to relate to the concept. Plus,.
This is a very good question, and the answer is simple I have a job and I am working for 10-11 hours every day!! But this is not enough. Despite that I still need money to cover my minus that getting grow every month due to the fact that I have a mortgage,and all the other things (car, home, food) so in the end of the month all the money from my salary is gone as a glimpse of an eye, and I left with no money to save and have fun.
Like I wrote in my homepage if you are in the middle class in the society it very hard to upgrade. And believe me completely more interesting and exciting to build this website and to get money in the back door
