Web site Attempts to Piggyback on Success of MillionDollarHomepage.com
After the unexpected success of a British college student and his MillionDollarHomepage.com, which sells pixels to advertisers for $1.00 each, many imitators, including (shamelessly) theWebisode.com, came out of the woodwork. Now, some realtor in Seattle thinks he can piggyback his way to a billion dollars by offering larger ads for $100 each.
BillionDollarWebsite.info was launched in November and is selling an infinite amount of ads for $100 a piece. The ads will remain on the site for 10 years, which equals to $10 a year.
Bill Johnson, the founder of BillionDollarWebsite.info, boasts on his blog that the site has reached 1,075 hits as of December 3. Which, quite frankly, isn't much at all, especially when it comes to where you want to spend your advertising dollars.
With these types of sites popping up, we must start wondering if it's a genius attempt at driving traffic to your Web site, or a complete waste of advertising dollars. Either way, some people seem to be making a shitload of money off of it.

What do you think of http://www.milliondollarbush.com ?
I am looking to post some ads for my company and I figure this is better than spending $150,000 at the original?
Helloa
I think all of these sites are a passing fad that may or may not bring a temporary increase in traffic. Most of the traffic going to these type of sites are people curious about possibly placing an ad on it. Personally, I don't view it as an ideal way of advertising a site. You're better off using Google Adsense or something like that where you can actually target your ads to the audience you are looking for.
