PR - WWW.MILLIONPIXXX.COM reverses policy hahaha8211; submit your site for free!

Pixel marketing is the latest buzzword borne from the phenomenal success of www.milliondollarhomepage.com whereby broke UK student Alex Tew set up a website and sold one million pixels at a buck each. The rest is history as his site hahaha8211; if you can get to it hahaha8211; bears witness. Mission accomplished for him.

hahaha8220;I remember thinking hahaha8216;What a good ideahahaha8217; and wishing I had thought about it firsthahaha8221; recalls Marc Jarrett, of www.password-by-phone and www.adultmobilesolutions.com fame.

Then a few days ago he received an email from an Israeli, offering him to buy advertising @ $1 a pixel at a similar site aimed at the adult industry.

It was evident from his email that the adult industry was alien to him, so Marc wrote back to him explaining that he could help him market the site to the AWM community if he so wished. hahaha8216;Nohahaha8217; came the curt reply, he simply wants to sell pixels on his unpopulated site at a buck each.

hahaha8220;By now I was doubly enragedhahaha8221; recalls Jarrett hahaha8220;and in a moment for sheer greed and opportunism I decided to do it myselfhahaha8221;

Upon posting this new venture to the AWM community, he was rightly criticised for jumping on the bandwagon. And then he thought : wrong business plan.

By selling a million pixels @ $1 each, it is obvious who stands to make the most. So Jarrett has revised his strategy hahaha8211; advertising is free, as long as he feels the underlying content is, as he puts it, hahaha8220;compellinghahaha8221; - and he will then sign up as an affiliate of the website in question.

hahaha8220;This way, everyone can share in the project with no investment and yet have common interest in helping the site succeed. In the unlikely event that it does, everyone profits and I profit the mosthahaha8221; says Jarrett.

He feels that the concept of a random mosaic-style webpage crammed full of a broad spectrum of adult entertainment is a sound one can imagine this being a bookmark candidate for surfers.

Once the page is populated with a hahaha8216;decent amounthahaha8217; of ads, a targeted B2C campaign will begin to attract surfers to the site.

hahaha8220;This is an open architecture project. Sales are at zero, stats are available for all to see on sitehahaha8221; says Jarrett.

hahaha8220;Cynics amongst you will already written this project off. It might well fail. But as www.milliondollarhomepage.com demonstrated, viral rocks!hahaha8221;

An AVS page geo-targeted in 35 languages will be added shortly.

hahaha8220;This will even attract surfers!hahaha8221; predicts Jarrett hahaha8220;A surfer from Iraq, for example, is pleased to see anything in Arabichahaha8221;
