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.
