made it big won’t get too far since the idea of selling pixels is no
longer novel! But now this site has popped up:

Claiming to “change the way advertising works”, OnlyOneAd.com is
selling only one ad. That’s right, there is only space for ONE ad
on the page. The first ad costs $1. To replace the ad, the next
advertiser must pay $2. After that, it costs $4, and so on. Each
new ad costs twice the amount of the previous ad. That means the
21st ad costs over one million dollars. The creator seems convinced
he can reach his goal, which actually seems possible if he can
generate enough buzz. He’s keeping a detailed blog, and so far only
the 1st ad has sold for $1! How is this going to turn out?

There is a website called Nickels for Katrina that utilizes the same method. I though it was that site owner’s idea – guess not. Still, pretty ingenious. If I think of a way to generate that sort of cash, I’ll share it with you. :-)
