Pixel Advertising: traffic to your website

Pixel advertising is fast becoming the rage with new pixel advertising website pages appearing on a daily basis.

So what is pixel advertising and how it all happened.

The original idea seems to have started some months ago by a British student named Alex Tew who was trying to find a way to make an income online and help pay his way through college.

He decided that if you were to divide a page into a grid formation, consisting of 100 pixels per square, may be able to offer advertisers a choice of purchasing any quantity of these grid squares and in return they could load an image or banner and advertise their individual sites.

He set his price at $ 1 per pixel, which is $ 100 per square grid and in total has meant that his web page, which consisted of a grid of one million pixels, it would be worth a million dollars if all available pixels were sold.

Well the idea was innovative and after starting to sell some of its advertising space to friends and colleagues the idea really started to spread and capture the imagination of the Internet world. From this initial start things really started to move fast and the traffic to his site began to build at an incredible pace. It was not long then until the news media became aware of what had become a phenomenon and this media coverage really started the ball rolling.

About three or four months after starting his pixel advertising website that has sold more than $ 800 000 worth of advertising and has almost reached its initial goal of producing one million dollar homepage.

It 'really does pay to advertise....
