Pixel advertisements redefine internet marketing to provide free traffic
26th August 2005 witnessed the dawn of a new era in internet
marketing. Alex Tew came up with an idea which would rewrite the
nuances of internet advertising and increase traffic like never
before....and thus was born " Pixel Advertising".
Alex Tew put up a website with one million pixels of advertising
space for $1 a pixel and use that money to pay for his
education. His goal - a million dollars. This so called "silly
idea" turned out to be a "brilliant idea" and as I write this
article...the search for brilliant idea in google displays the
website of Alex Tew within the first three results.
Pixel Advertisements have arrived with a bang and has given a
new meaning to "Micro Advertisements" in particular and internet
marketing in general.
Alex Tew launched his inspiration in August 2005 after dreaming
about his first million at his home in U.K. His objective was to
make a million dollars through the million pixels. His site has
a grid of 10,000 boxes made up of 100 pixels giving an area of
approximately 4mm x 4mm each. The idea is that people can buy a
1 or more block/s of pixels, place an image on it and link the
image to their site. The cost at his website is $1 per pixel
with a minimum of a 100 pixel order.
Pixel sites are internet websites that people have formed to
sell pixel advertising space to help market other websites or
blogs.The pixels are usually available in 100-pixel 'blocks'
(each measuring 10x10 pixels). You will see most homepages
divided into 10,000 of these 100-pixel blocks (hence there are
1,000,000 pixels in total). Internet Marketers have dabbled with
traffic exchanges, banner exchanges, link exchanges........and
to add to the internet marketing arsenal we now have a new baby
in a Pixel Advertisements.
Since Alex Tew.... (the originator of "Pixel Advertisements"),
several websites have come into existence....and some are still
cropping up. Some pixel websites are just playing "me-to" to the
original idea of Alex Tew while there are others who have
brought about innovative changes in the whole concept.
There are websites which are asking buyers to click on a
particular number of images and visit other websites on the
pixel page before their purchase order is processed. This
of
course...reminds you of traffic exchanges which still provide
free traffic with little effort.
Then we have pixel websites taking the concept of link exchanges
and asking visitors to put up a link to their pixel website in
exchange for a limited number of free pixels. There are pixel
websites which are giving away free pixels with the hope that
they will get free traffic in the process. However, it goes
without saying that there are some pixel advertising websites
which are selling pixels ranging from 1 cent a pixel to $ 1 a
pixel ....and some of them are making money.
The pixel advertising industry will continue to evolve with more
and more pixel websites coming up with innovative ideas enticing
visitors to part with their money to buy a pixel or two. The
outcome of this "Pixel Advertising phenomenon" is difficult to
predict. Perhaps...any of these three things can happen....
1) People will come up with several interesting and innovative
ideas based on pixel advertising to keep the pixel advertising
industry going
2) People will run out of new innovative ideas and the industry
will stagnate but advertisers will continue to use pixel
advertisements as a part of their internet marketing strategy
3) The initial euphoria gathered by the pixel advertising
industry will slow down and a few years from now....pixel
advertising will be dead and no one will remember the concept of
pixel advertising in internet marketing
All said and done...the decision has to be taken by the
advertiser as to whether the return on investment on pixel
advertisement is sufficient enough to warrant such an
investment...and even if the advertiser decides that pixel
advertisements will be the future, the more difficult decision
is to identify the pixel website which will give the maximum
ROI.
