The idea is simple: to try and make $1m (US) by selling 1,000,000 pixels for $1 each. Hence, 'The Million Dollar Homepage". The main motivation for doing this is to pay for my degree studies, because I don't like the idea of graduating with a huge student debt. I know people who are paying off student loans 15-20 years after they graduated. Not a nice thought!

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 right corner of the 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. You will have a piece of internet history!

Holy s***, he's nearly there. The last time this was posted (which was a while ago) he'd only had about $30k, now he only has $1000 bux left to go. Man why didn't I think of this :(

I've been checking this site pretty regularly just to check how many pixels he he had sold, he's done pretty bloody well for himself. It was a brillient idea!

The last thousand pixels are currently for sale on Ebay, the bidding is up to about $150,000. So all up he'll make $1,150,000+

Yay for more annoying internet advertising no one will ever click on.
Makes me wonder how he has convinced all these people to shell out so much money for something so useless.

That's f***ing awesome, thank jesus they are not animated.

What a spastic dumb idea. I wish I had thought of it.

Yeah I don't see how these people figure anyone's gonna click on their ad. ood on the guy who thought if it though. A lot of the links are to other pixel sites just like his. They're spawning. Still, wish I'd thought of it.

i found wally

what a cainer, make $1150000 from nothing.

And that guy that started the "Australian" MDHP has made absolutley nothing. lol. Too bad for him.

High praise for the UK bloke, he's very close to reaching his end goal.

This guy was on a Sky News human interest story the other week and seemed pretty damn cool. Congrats to him I say.

Holy crap,that small page is worth a million??

Yay for more annoying internet advertising no one will ever click on.

advertisers are reporting large click-through numbers. Even i've clicked on some of them to see where they go.

Nick Fish's brother

Peter Gibbons: What would you do if you had a million dollars?
Lawrence: I'll tell you what I'd do, man, two chicks at the same time, man.
Peter Gibbons: That's it? If you had a million dollars, you'd do two chicks at the same time?
Lawrence: Damn straight. I always wanted to do that, man. And I think if I had a million dollars I could hook that up, cause chicks dig a dude with money.
Peter Gibbons: Well, not all chicks.
Lawrence: Well the kind of chicks that'd double up on me do.
Peter Gibbons: Good point.
Lawrence: What about you, what would you do?
Peter Gibbons: Besides two chicks at the same time?
Lawrence: Well yeah.
Peter Gibbons: Nothing.
Lawrence: Nothing, huh?
Peter Gibbons: I'd relax, sit on my ass all day, I would do nothing.
Lawrence: Well you don't need a million dollars to do nothing, man. Just take a look at my cousin, he's broke, don't do s***.
