It was selling pixels, the dots which make up a computer screen, as advertising space, costing a dollar per dot. The minimum purchase was $100 for a 10×10 pixel square to hold the buyer’s logo or design. Clicking on that space takes readers to the buyer’s website.”
Alex spent £50 on buying the domain name (milliondollarhomepage.com) and a basic web-hosting package. He designed the site himself but it began as a blank page. His last 1,000 pixels will be sold on Wednesday on eBay, in a clever and lucrative twist to the story.
