thought it is interesting….

We have been inundated with hundreds of orders and are working through the backlog right now, but it means we’ve needed to suspend taking any more orders for the time being.

I will try to tomorrow. Happy New Year !

I requested this as the alt text – ‘How To Start An Internet Business – Download Free Audio & Articles’.

The graphic is a white ‘Y’ on a red background that really doesn’t stand out any better than the other 100×100 squares on the site but it’s not exactly a lot to work with.

Look for it in about 24 hours time.

I’m presently trying to buy an ad from the million dollar homepage and the damn site keeps going down . I expect it’s due to all that traffic.

I just spent 10 minutes designing our little graphic. Having 10×10 pixels to work with was not easy and I’ve gone with a white “Y” on a red background, which stands out reasonably well given its size.

I think the ALT tag will be the most important variable as I’ve found myself hovering over the icons at the site to read the description so I expect others are doing the same before cliking through. I need to come up with a benefits laden ALT tag for the ad…hmm…

The $10 lesson in Internet Advertising. Would that all lessons came so cheaply. Now to sit back and let the lesson unfold…

I’d love to come up with something…

think. think. think. Dang, nothing.

=) congratus to everyone!

The site is providing real content which MillionDollar is not. This can increase you stats on the long run not just for a month or two.

Anyways, good luck with the results Yaro, It would be interesting to get a breakdown of how many of your new visitors actually return.

Creativity really pays off.

this is interesting!

http://www.milliondollarhomepage.com/ has been so successful that it catches eyes of not only English speakers but also people of other nations.

A Million Dollar Homepage in Chinese( http://www.1baiwan.com/ ) was launched last week, which grows so fast that it was listed on Alexa’s Mover & Shakers (Chinese website) after only one week, whose traffic rank rise up by 4,000%. ( http://www.alexa.com/site/ds/movers_shakers?lang=zh_gb2312 )

Even Alexa noticed this Chinese “copycat”, and mentioned its existence.( http://www.alexa.com/site/ds/movers_shakers?lang=en )

The Chinese Million Dollar Homepage is designed particularly for Chinese visitors and their block/grid (13×13 pixels) is also larger than the Million Dollar Homepage (10×10 pixels) as Chinese Characters are larger than English letters. On the other hand, the price is set for local market, RMB(Chinese Dollar)100 for each, each is a lot more affordable than US$100.

According to a Chinese blogger, the Chinese Million Dollar Homepage has been very hot among Chinese bloggers, and it’s been also reported by several major professional Chinese ICPs. And the owners wrote on their blog that, the traffic had grown so fast that they had to purchase their own server only 5 days after it launched .

The Chinese Million Dollar Homepage also has an English ntroduction page( http://www.1baiwan.com/EngIntro.html ), which promotes itself as a cost-effective way of reaching Chinese market, in which 60 million people surf Internet. It accepts payment in US$ via Paypal and US$15 per block for people who are not able to pay RMB(Chinese Dollar).

But the Chinese culture is quite different from the Western culture, will it succeed as the English one? Let’s see.

Here’s an interesting run-down of all the mdhp copy-cats and how much they’re making: http://www.yunasville.com/home/milliondollarhomepage-copycats

Another copy-cat that looks interesting: http://www.powerofpixels.com

Yeah as Hugo mentioned, there are quite a few copy-cat sites out already, but they don’t seem to have anywhere near the sales or popularity.

However, I have been trying to think of a similar idea around the use of pixels. Do you/others think there would be a possibility for success in a similar site, which used a variety of different approaches and add-ins?

I guess it all just comes down to good PR and viral marketing as mentioned.

cheers

My guess is that those who advertise now will
probably see big results, but as you pointed out,
the traffic is likely to be low quality and
un-targeted.
Whether the advertisers will keep sustained
traffic from this site in the long term is
an interesting question.

Another interesting aspect is how many copycat
sites quickly appeared.. I won’t list URLs
so as not to feed them traffic, but they are
all poor copies and none seems to be growing
like the original site – which is good news
for those creating good ideas/content and are
concerned about being ripped off!
