I realise it's a gag. But...

Have the site sponsored by different people each day, and record the number of clicks on that day. Keep an archive, make it competitive.

e.g. 30th October is Obama day (just an example - not partisan), click to show your support! Sponsor pays some rate per click (or just to hire the site for the day).

As others have mentioned, your button would appear in many places (facebook widget, etc), so that would add some value to the potential sponsors.

Of course, they could put up their own button, but that wouldn't get them into your archives or the kudos of having the one and only 'clickthatbutton.com' buzz.

I don't think I'm being serious. But then, it's not that much crazier than the million-dollar homepage.

At least your main competitor gets ad revenue: http://www.instantrimshot.com/

Shit. I'll have to talk to the CEO about this. We should have done more market research.

Don't forget its sister site:

I wouldn't worry, your button is much nicer looking than theirs (it's inverted, wtf?)
