Million Dollar Homepage
How 'bout we take out an ad on there?
http://www.milliondollarhomepage.com for those uninitiated.
$1 USD per pixel, sold in blocks of 10x10 pixels. There's a couple good places for, oh, an 80x20 ($1600) ad - one right above the "Free Laptops" on the left, and a couple near the PartyPoker ad.

What is the Million Dollar Homepage?
The idea of the site is to sell 1,000,000 pixels at $1 each, thus earning a million dollars. The word pixel stands for picture element. It is a tiny dot on your computer monitor or TV screen. Pixels form the basis of a screen. There are millions of them and they light up in different colors based on what you are watching. Generally speaking, the more pixels, the sharper the image on your screen.
What Alex Tew did was isolated the space taking up a million pixels on a website and offer to sell each one. Since selling one pixel at a time would be too tedious and complex from a logistics perspective, it makes sense that he decided to sell his pixels in blocks of 100 (or $100) minimum. The more blocks you buy, the larger the space you have on the page meaning you can put larger banners up.
hmmm.
