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)…

Our logo is a button. I'd sponsor you for a day.

Unless I'm missing something, that's not a "startup" it's a webpage with a clickable button. What's the point? What's the business model? (seriously).

Well, I've always been a fan of the 37signals school of thought around bringing simplicity to web applications. You know - the whole "Getting Real" thing. The way I see it, this has a better business model than a lot of web startups nowadays. At the very least, we've got a slow "burn rate" seeing as how we've spent about 5 hours on the project.

37 signals provides products that people pay for and get value from.

Your button adds no value, has no stickyness, and is not something people will pay for.

I think your "product" here is just creative trolling.

All good ideas of directions to take this, imo. Now that's insight. The have a different sponsor every day is something I thought of while I was making my pointless post (see bottom of this page) but neglected to mention.
