Remember the Million Dollar Homepage? The guy recently completed it and made a million dollars, partly to pay for his education.

http://milliondollarhomepage.com/



Here's one of the first imitators:

http://www.milliondollarbush.com/

Seen any others?

The Bush one is clever - it gets a reaction whatever your political affiliation. There are a number of copycats out there, most of them cheaper than the original.

Oh, and the kid in the Uk made considerably more than a million - the last 1000 pixels went on ebay for a (I think) over $100.000.

Imitation is really damned easy.

That first one is certainly very busy.

As an early imitator, I would have expected milliondollarbush to sell a bit better - it's pretty barren. I guess there's only room on the 'net for one milliondollar page. Congratulations to the enterprising Brit who thought it up.

There are so many copy cats out there now - and so many simply just dont have any traffic of Pixels on them! Ive also looked t a similar idea which is in its early stages and think my idea has more longevity. You buy countries on a map - I think this would create more emotion, some would obviously become worth more, you can link thm to sites, pictures, create communities / forums - theres lots of potential.
