The idea

Alex Tew, (* 1984 in Wiltshire, England) was first to launche a website selling pixel based links.
Launched on August 26, 2005, the website is said to have generated a gross income of $1,037,100 USD and has a current Google PageRank of 7. The site's Alexa ranking as of 2007-05-24 is 29,594, having peaked at around 127.
The index page of the site consists of a 1000 x 1000 pixel grid (one million pixels), on which he sells image-based links for US $1 per pixel, in minimum ten by ten blocks. A person who buys one or more of these pixelblocks can design a tiny image which will be displayed on them, and also decide a URL which he or she wants them to link to, as well as a slogan displayed when hovering the cursor over the link. The aim of the site was to sell all of the pixels in the image, thus generating one million dollars of income for the creator, which seems to have been accomplished.
 

Terms and Conditions

The minimum purchase is 100 Euro (100 pixels), and the maximum purchase is whatever is left.

You cannot change the image or link once you have submitted them, so you must be sure of the image & link you want on the homepage, which will be there for at least 5 years. The only exception is if you have a strong reason why you need a change to your image/link, eg. your site no longer exists, major structural change to your site, lawsuits, etc.

If your image and link are accepted and published on the homepage, you cannot get a refund.

The site and homepage will be online for at least until 215, but possibly even longer.

No obscene/offensive/adult images/links will be accepted, and I decide what is appropriate for my site. If you submit an image or link that is rejected, you will have the opportunity to provide an alternative, otherwise your money will be refunded and you will lose your pixels.

If your link is accepted and you later change the content of the linked site to show offensive/obscene/adult material then your link will be removed until you provide a new one, and you will not get a refund of any kind for the link downtime.

Images must be the exact size you have paid for (eg. 100 pixels = 10x10 pixels)

Images must be in GIF or JPEG format, and a reasonable file size

Images must NOT be animated (imagine how messy the homepage would look)

Links must be to web pages only and begin with http://

You must have the authority to provide the image and link for the website you submit

Funds must be fully recieved and cleared before your pixels go live on the homepage

There might be occasional downtime for site maintenence but I'll try and keep these to a minimum
