I built this website. From scratch. Including the servers.
I hate to be überlogical (not!) but a) nobody will honestly persue a mosaic of teeny pixel ads and find one to click on so the click-through-rate must be utter crap/nil, and b) the existance of a page which only consists of links (or images that are linked) and no 'real' content provided will be treated like a FAA or Linkfarm page by the legit searchengines in the end, which might even put the sponsored links at risk to being "punished" by the searchengines (like google) they want to be seen on. Rubberneckers brought to the page by the hyped up press might click something at random (useless from an advertising p.o.v. where targeting COUNTS!) but I betcha 99% will not. I wouldn't buy an ad there put it that way. and c) c'mon seriously, in order to get press he needs to put a few ads up on the page to get the ball rolling - it's not likely that the first ads paid him anything. But I'm sure those annoying Golden palace wankers did. and d) He'll probably have to spend all his money earned on the bandwidth bill if this keeps up. ;) [only half kidding].
When will it stop?
Hmmm, methinks that the 20 cent pixels homepage is a good sign that this has jumped the shark. None of the above means that I don't wish I had thought of it first. Jammy bastard.
"Du bist Deutschland!"??
Heh, poor Germans. First that depressing election between bland and blank, and now this.
On the upside, Germany's indecisiveness in the elections made the Euro drop against the dollar making super adgrunt upgrades cheaper for USians here right now. At least for the USians that kept up with the news. ;)
It worked, Juan is officially the Ad Icon of the year!. He wants to thank the academy....
Sorry if the news-article doesn't make it clear that this is being mailed out now, September, 2005. The pasta sounds similar but not the same (since for one, you can't eat an uncooked printed piece of pasta... Whereas you can eat this ham cooked by the resturant Tres straight out of the pack..... Not that I think anyone would. ;))
Also fun to watch, the older No explanations - carlton Draught advert.,
Finally - I should have thought of this earlier, instead of stubbornly hitting super-reload (with a shift) and leaving and re-entering that page, and all the other lo-tech tricks, I loaded it in another browser instead. Then the tree has flags and one may choose a languge...
Once you eat the funky fruit and take an Alice in wonderland style trip to the questionnaire you may answer three dumb Q's about Xbox 360 and might win something. *le yawn*
Someone has built a better mousetrap!
Newsfire blocks ads in RSS feeds. I spotted this over at Nial Kennedy's blog September 12 posting.
