I think Dunmbo & Cool is a wicked idea to add to this page. And I agree this site is doing nothing wrong its actually a very nice idea and will be interesting to see how it develops...

I was thinking about doing xbox350.com , but it already taken and being sold for $1500! So then I looked at the side number pad and realized it would be easy to accidentally type xbox250.com based on the number positions, right? Idk...how many people do you think would mis-type that?

How about xbox 180 and have a amazon.com affiliate program selling xbox systems and games, but build the whole site upside down? Actually I might do that...

Don't get my words wrong, I didn't mean oh god not dumbo and cool in a oh ffs get the hell outta here you 48 year old geek!, It was ment to sound more like a compliment, or something o.0, I like dumbo and cool....

Anyhoo, I know their not REALLY doing anything wrong, just some people think they are, like spam, and i'm just agreeing with it (not saying I actually think the same)

If they can earn loads of cash out of something mad like this then good luck with it.

Just make sure it's a fair and balanced case study, and keep in mind that unlike a stable ad system, this is an internet fad which is doomed to pass...

Nevertheless it may be worth $200. Congrats on taking the initiative...

Blog is death. How? NO idea. But is murder. REVENGE!

Someone should do a free one that randomly gives out a square every hour. It would be interesting to see what it would look like at the end. A bit like that thing where lots of people drag the letters into rude words.

That random square idea is a good one with a twist.

Also, TheIndy, I saw that copy cat site too. I came across a bunch of others too:

I do yes, I find it hard to communicate with people who god dang know it all ehe! I try my best..

Anyway, A lot of sites seem to be copying, I might just do this myself lol, might be fun o.0

I would say it's pretty expensive for a big ad, although I suppose it's worth it's money?

Only $2000

http://www.millionpennyhomepage.com/ claims he is up to $3783 - not bad for a ripoff site! I wouldn't mind that amount of money for doing virtually nothing.

There's also http://millionquarterwebpage.com/ who has $2231

There are loads and loads of similar sites popping up everywhere but they are just rubbish with maybe 1 or 2 ads on them, probably not even paid for.

I must take my hat off to the main site though for getting around $200,000 in just a few weeks. He must be really chuffed with himself and I bet he is really popular at uni - specially in the bar!

Boo!

Heck, i'd make a million dollar, half-dollar, quarter, dime, nickel, or penny webpage. I wouldn't mind making $2000+ just by having a webpage.

This isn't good, though Next thing you know, you'll have a bunch of people hosting Million Dollar Webpage-type sites all over the place, worst of all, on freewebs That'd be something... Get some webspace on freewebs (for free, of course ) and make a few thousand bucks off it, lol...
