The Million Dollar Home Page Review
From the article:
- This is not a technology story, but about viral marketing and the Internet. And this is a topic I find very interesting. Alex Tew, a 21 year old student from the UK launched a page called MillionDollarHomePage.com (site). He is selling 10x10 pixel block banners for $100. He has 1,000,000 pixels available. If he sells all his pixel inventory, he has made a cool Million Dollar. Now you might think, that never works. He already sold 180,500 pixels ($180,500). On September 22nd when BBC News reported about the million dollar homepage, he was at $74,000. His sales more than doubled in less than 6 days.

Bekel challenges Tew!
In slipstream of all commotion around this complete new stunning kind of website, Bekel challenges Tew! After Alex Tew started to sell every pixel of his homepage, internet specialist Joost Bekel came up with an idea even more spectacular! Bekel said earlier he can do better than Tew and offers much more fun while raising money. He wants to raise $10.000/week from 1. November 2005 on. That's when he expects his newborn baby. Isn't that cute? So he divided the week into 10.000 little pieces: 1 minute each and offers every piece to the audience for 1 dollar!
Now Bekel has set his mind to beat Tew. Tew mentioned in his blog his expected income for September. "September is for Tew, October probably as well, but November will be my month!" Bekel is convinced his concept is even more genious than Tew's and offers more value to the visitor.
On the question if he needs really $10.000 for his kid Bekel answers: Does Alex Tew need $1.000.000 for his study? ;-)
