“There’s two things that make this site different. One is that when you buy space there they’re committing to keep it up there for ten years or more. Long term exposure like this isn’t something you see very much on the Internet. The other is that they have a profit sharing plan that is probably going to get a lot of members fast as the site grows.

They’ve also got a blog where they publish news and information about the site. This project looks like it’s got plenty of potential for success. I’d say that it’s definitely worth spending some time to check out. With a tagline like “Join Our Web TV Ad-venture at MillionDollarWebTV.com” you can tell that they’re serious about growing this venture quickly. I fully expect to see their ‘Available Pixels’ number dropping quickly.”

“From the moment you enter the website, it is quite obvious what it is all about. Even the name speaks for itself, leaving no doubt in the minds of visitors what their site is geared towards. Whether you want to search or browse the MillionDollarWebTV.com website or promote your own website, the use of the words “video ads” and “set up your channel” and “images and videos” alerts you to the fact that they are into video advertising. In fact, their ‘How It Works’ page does a good job at explaining the website’s mission and how you can truly benefit from advertising on their site. Questions like “Who will see my video?” and “How about copyrights?” are answered in a clear and understandable manner, leaving no room for guessing.

So, in order to benefit from all they have to offer, Join Our Web TV Ad-venture at MillionDollarWebTV.com now. I would certainly use their service and also make my friends aware of it so that they can use it too.”

A pixel a day for Internet TV

“The Million Dollar Homepage was one of the first to do it, and since then many other sites have tried to follow in that website’s success. English university student Alex Tew came up with the idea of selling ‘blocks of pixels’ on his website (to advertisers and other sites) to help pay for his education.??The idea proved a massive success, and now a new website is trying to update the concept for 2007. Video content is now the biggest thing fueling the huge growth in internet use, and the website Million Dollar Web TV is banking on that trend for success.”

Thank you all for these insightful posts!

10-14-2007 9:50 AM — Three Strikes – and Email Marketing Is Out

Email - animated graphics

At least till we figure out why this round didn’t work, after spending about $700 and a good number of hours over a two month period. What a bummer!

Give us a comment if you have a proven way to make email marketing work and we’ll do a deal.

On track with our 100,000+ visitor a month plan

At this moment our visitor count stands at 94,797.

As you know, we aim to bring 100,000+ unique visitors a month to the site. This will increase to 300,000-500,000 visitors, as our membership grows. Also, we will target, re-target, and segment the traffic to the demographics of the membership as it reaches critical mass.

We are committed to deliver the most receptive audience to our member advertisers. We are on the way to achieve that, along with a number of other initiatives. Some won’t work, like this lemon email campaign test, but the lemonade stand is open. Get your fill now!

10-8-2007 6:24 PM — Should we run email marketing campaigns?

To find out, we are testing different messages and images, like the one below, with a double opt-in mailing list from FXStyle. We did spend a month pruning and validating it, to give us a representative sample of about 64,000 addresses.

If the test works out well this week, we’ll evaluate email marketing companies, to increase traffic and, of course, to sign up new member advertisers.

10-4-2007 2:03 PM — How are we doing?

Never better. Here are our statistics for September’07:

* Sales: 13,000 pixels
* ShareASale affilates: 46
* Traffic: 38,810 visits, 562,677 hits
* Alexa Trend/Rank: #176,177 (US)

MillionDollarWebTV - Alexa Rank

As you can see, we are well on our way of fulfilling our pledge to bring 100,000+ visitors a month to the site. This will assure that our member’s ads are seen by at least 3,000 visitors a day.

Let’s get our calculator out:

Exposure / day: 3,000+
Exposure / month: 100,000+
Exposure / year: 1,200,000+
Exposure / 10 years: 12,000,000+

A conservative clickthrough rate of 1% yields 120,000 visitors for 10 years

At $900 for a 30×30 = 900 pixel ad, the cost of a visitor is $0.0075 – less than a cent.

CAN ANYONE BEAT THIS DEAL??? And that’s without profit sharing!
