Yep, but the interesting thing is the banner on top... "Discover how to make $10k per day!". I'm subscribing now.

Seriously, he "earned" 1 million with this "innovative" method and now he is publishing a scam site (or at least this is what it appear to be)?

For fun: go to http://milliondollarhomepage.com/pixellist.php and check out how many of these sites no longer exist.

The top site, http://www.rentpixelads.com/en/ , is a placeholder. As are quite a few.

It's funny the page has a banner at the top that is bigger than any purchased section...
