What is The Pixel Wars ®?
You will see the main background image is made of 10,000 small blocks, each block is 10x10 pixels making a total of 1,000,000 pixels.
You can purchase these blocks and place your own image/logo in them with a link to your site. (minimum 1 block) for just 100 Euro a block equivalent to just 1 Euro per pixel
Once a block has been ordered (ie before Paypal confirm payment) your blocks will be reserved for 24 hours, which allows for any delays there may be in them notifying the server of the payment. Once notification has been received (normally within seconds or minutes) your image/logo and link will be added permanently to The Pixel Wars ®.
Once your image/link has been permanently added no one else can place their image over yours.
The Pixel Wars ® is automated, you size and position your image, view it on position and then pay via Paypal and your image and link is then permenantly added.
Who am I?
My name is Gordon Gecko. I live in the UK with my wife and 4 children and I suffer from Wall Street Breakdown. I am currently self employed doing anything I can to earn a living, mostly online.
Why 'The Pixel Wars ®'?
A colleague of mine suggested this idea a few days ago after seeing the very creative Internet Game "The Vexier", and I thought it might work. He wrote a perl script to run the site and to automate the whole process including adding the links automatically.Why 1 Euro?
If you want to pay more then please feel free:) You're right, 1 Euro a pixel is not a lot compare to most other sites like this. If I sell each pixel at just 1 Euro each, with a minimum purchase one block for 100 Euro I could earn up to 1,000,000 Euro. Not such a small amount now is it?
You're joking right?
No, I am deadly serious. I initially laughed at the idea when I heard it but then I found it was working, other's had sold in excess of 200,000 Euro worth and I have since seen lots of simular sites going online since. This could become the next 'mainstream' form of web advertising
Why are you selling by the block?
A Pixel is far to small to consider trying to sell, you would never see the image and the link will never get clicked on. A Block is realistically the smallest size you could use.
Why should I buy your pixels?
What's in it for you? When you buy pixels here you are investing in a web site that could get a ton of traffic from links on other sites and exposure.
With your Pixel ad on the front page, that means a lot of traffic to your site. More traffic could mean more sales for you - if you are selling stuff on the net. You might simply want to buy Pixels for your loved ones, your pet, to spread a political message, find the love of your life, etc. Anything is possible with The Pixel Wars ®!
In addition to your ad appearing on here, our parent site The Internet Genesis Project may display a section from this site on some of it's pages, giving even more exposure.
What kind of traffic will I get?
It is true that most of the clicks will be random, from visitors that are clicking on the images to see where they lead. This is not necessarily a bad thing, how often do people stumble across a site and think 'oh I was looking for that' or 'I need that doing' etc.
How long will it be before my image is added?
The system is set up so as soon as it receives confirmation from Paypal that your payment has been made your image and link will be added so you should see it appear on The Pixel Wars ® within minutes
How long will the site be around for?
The domain name is currently registered for 3 years but I plan to keep the site running for alot longer.
With Wall Street Breakdown, I mean loosing all my money at NYSE.
The picture on your screen is made up of 1000's of pixels.
We are selling pixels in Blocks of 100, each block is 10 pixels wide by 10 pixels high.
