I actually purchased a $300 spot on this. I did get quite a few clicks, but very low-quality traffic. Mostly, I got lots of offers from copycat sites to join their "billion dollar" homepage or whatnot. It's crazy how many copycats came out, very unoriginal thinking going on.
I too bought, about $800, at the bottom right, to place the words "Million Dollar Script". The script cost $50 a pop, and allowed you to make a self-hosted copycat site. I was quite busy for the next few months as orders kept rushing in! I've also had a few competitors pop up & the script was pirated, including some selling it on ebay, they even forgot to remove my contact email, so their customers were coming to me…

What about personal caches? I know that few people likely keep locally saved Web pages in near line accessibility. But if you only build the tool, I would happily mount the nearly 5 terabytes of ULTRASCSI drives I've got in storage, which were largely Squid cache snapshots, from my office WAN proxy box.
Yes does anything like this exist? I would love to remember all of my surfing. I currently bookmark nearly 100% of my visited links.

The article does not purport to have a solution to this problem. It is a contribution to an ongoing effort to describe the problem and understand it so that solutions may be pursued.

I just heard about the "Million Dollar Homepage" for the first time last week. Would this idea (or one like it) work today? Making a million dollars for something so bizarre, fun, and straightforward sounds amazing. Can anyone reference other attempts at similar ideas?
You didn't notice because the people who created them didn't, either.

Either that, or the homepage owner doesn't want to pay the hosting (bandwidth) costs, so he/she just references the Way Back machine. This is kinda brilliant.
