The Million Dollar Coup!

This is a cool way to make a million dollars: www.milliondollarhomepage.com

These guys sell (sold) each pixel of this page for $1. At 1M pixels, they earned $1 Million in total.

Why would anybody buy pixels there? Well, we're part of this right now. By linking to their page, the page gets a high organic Google search ranking. By advertising, the page rank also "spills over" to the rank of the sponsor's URL, since it is a homepage link (which is more valuable than others).

So this is just another cool business model based on Google's search algorithm.
