Remember this?

Yeah, so what's the point?

It'd be interesting to see where the advertisers ended up in all of this. I'd imagine they got some SEO out of it but it doesn't strike me that "tabmarks" has gone very far since the million dollar homepage launched. I wonder what the average ROI was, and if the million dollar homepage served as an effective launchpad for anyone or anything.

well, it generated him million dollars overnight.

Yeah I sure do. I bought the square with the "R" for reserved just beneath the grey "Download Movies" button near the middle top.

The guy rejected my icon the first time around, I think I accidentally made it 11x10 or something instead of 10x10. So I resent it within 24 hours but he didn't get or ignored that email and the few subsequent ones after that. :(

I loved the idea and the guy running it seemed like a great guy, but it left a sour taste in my mouth when I didn't even get the graphic I wanted.

Luckily I was really just seeing what would happen and hoping in vain I would magically profit from the trickle of click-throughs one day.

The original idea was very good and inspired many clones idea. Then the creator got lots of praise and hype. I remember reading articles about investors offering him lots of money. Not to punish his original creative spark, but the story of milliondollarhomepage always reminds me of this english phrase: once you are lucky, twice you are good.
