When I blogged last, the last 1000 pixels were for auction on Ebay.<\/p>\n<p><strong>So who won those last 1000 pixels?<\/strong> Elijah Kliger of Brooklyn, NY, won the eBay auction for the last 1,000 pixels, for his new site MillionDollarWeightLoss.com and he paid the  princely sum of $38,100 on highest bid of 99 bids (for the original cost of $1000 for 1000 pixels).<\/p>\n<p><strong>So what additional benefit he got?<\/strong> His advertisement is placed on top prominently on the Million Dollar Homepage and is the first thing you see. I had also blogged earlier about some tips and tricks to get a better click through rate on the Million Dollar Homepage.<\/p>\n<p>Then their site had downtime for a few days due to a DDoS attack which caused the site to be extremely slow loading or completely unavailable followed by a demand for a substantial amount of money. However all is fixed and running now. (DDoS stands for Distributed Denial of Service &#8211; an electronic attack involving multiple computers, which send repeated requests to a server to load it down and render it inaccessible).<\/p>\n<p>It is a wonderful example of how a unique business idea made <strong>Alex Tew a millionaire <\/strong>in a few months and started a new marketing craze for many pixel homepages based on similar principles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Withing a short period of few months the million dollar page is sold out!
