Pixel Advertising is increasingly becoming the most popular and cost affective way to advertise on the internet.

A year ago pixel advertising wasn't heard of and didn't exist, that was until a student named Alex Tew invented the idea to make a pixel grid where internet businesses could display their own logo or image. He named his website ‘The Million Dollar Home Page' and suddenly the name became internet history. Alex Tew the maker of the website, wanted to fund his student loan which is why he made The Million Dollar Home Page. His website can be found at http://www.milliondollarhomepage.com. His idea, more than paid off his student loan, after only a couple of months he had sold all of his pixels and made a total of $1000000!

As soon as the idea became so successful a lot of similar pixel selling websites appeared. But very few are turning out to be as successful as the original. It's a great way for advertisers to get visitors, as the idea drags the visitors to become more interested than any other advertising method. The colorful grid packed full of interesting images makes users want to keep clicking the images to find out what's there. Alex then received threats from hackers demanding money; otherwise they would switch the site down. Alex thought nothing of it and rejected their threats which sadly resulted in his website being switched off by hackers for 4 days. This then lead to an advertiser on the Million Dollar Home Page threatening to sue Alex Tew for the 4 days the site was not available. The Million Dollar Homepage will be sold out for five years, as all advertisers are kept listed until 2011. So you might be wondering what other pixel websites are worth advertising on?

The answer to that is not many. Most are just ‘'People'' trying to make a lot of money from copying the idea made by Alex Tew. In fact there are only a couple of pixel advertising sites that id bother with and these are, PIXEL M8 and PIXEMEUP, as they are both reputable businesses in the pixel adverting market. As most pixel advertising websites are setup by just bog standard people such as youths, you will find a lot just disappear as they aren't successful. Both PIXEL M8 and PIXMEUP are extremely reliable to advertise on and are also both offering great deals; you can find them at http://www.pixelm8.com and http://www.pixmeup.com. James Allsopp and Humberto Tordecilla the owners of PIXEL M8.com believe that there site will be the next Million Dollar Home Page. So, what are the benefits of Advertising on a reputable Pixel Advertising Site?

Well, for a one off fee your image link will usually be kept on the site for around five years. You will receive a large number of visits to your site over the course of five years. Direct links from well ranked pages. Logos are always visible on each page. Long term placement.

The size constraints actually spur creativity in a way that traditional banners don't. Constant traffic and brand promotion. In my opinion pixel advertising is by far the best method for advertising a website. There are so many benefits, but if you're thinking of ‘'making'' a pixel advertising website, I personally wouldn't bother unless you can beat the three main players -http://www.milliondollarhomepage.com , http://www.pixelm8.com or http://www.pixmeup.com
