milliondollarhomepage.com I feel punked by that website ’cause the idea is so simple.

There is this new free pay-per-pixel site freeadspacelive.com or would that be free-per-pixel? Dunno why or how they are making money but it is free advertising with no strings attached.

[…] Kaum ist der ganze Medienrummel um das furiose eBay Finale der letzten 1000 Pixels auf der Million Dollar Homepage vorbei, wird in der Blogosphäre bereits das nächste Konzept diskutiert: 1000tags.com - die “erste kommerzielle Tag Cloud der Welt”. Hat diese Site das Potenzial, an den Erfolg der Million Dollar Homepage heranzukommen? Niemand weiss es, auch nicht die Betreiber, offensichtlich machen sie einfach einen Versuch. Ich denke die Chancen stehen nicht schlecht, denn Tags sind in, sie sind übersichtlicher als der Krimskrams auf der Million Dollar Homepage und Surfer mögen rudimentär einfache Websites mit einem klaren Zweck. Auf der anderen Seite kann man natürlich lästern, dass die Site nur eine teure Linkfarm ist. Der erste Nachahmer ist schon bereit, die Diskussion bei TechCrunch in vollem Gang, interessante Blogeinträge haben Zoli und Tris Hussey geschrieben, extrem kritisch ist MakeYouGoHmm. […]

Jules - I think tag advertising is already here. Adwords is basically just that, albeit in a different format. Tag clouds with advertising hold absolutely zero interest and value to me. Who wants to look at fat font clouds based on who paid the most? Not me. I’d be very curious to hear from someone in the comments, privately, whatever that does.

I noticed the 1000tags site does not publish direct links (they probably do that to keep track of clicks I suspect), so PageRank has no play on this game, one way or another. The bigger picture though is tag advertising I think, and that’s something worth to think about. I personally don’t like any type of advertising, but I feel tag advertising is coming somehow. Wanna bet?

Oh and I have one of these too, it’s the one-million-tags-cant-fit-in-your-screen-grab-a-piece-of-internet-history.com

Yep I wrote about because I thought it was cool and for the free tag. Will the business model succeed? I don’t know, I know that I will be looking at my stats to see if Qumana got much traffic from them. That’s the key in their business model … will people click.

We’ll see. And you have great points here.

Thanks for the note of confidence guys. Yes, I will keep calling them as I see them and I hope readers will tell me when I’ve stepped on my … oh, you know what. I’ll do that once in awhile. Mike’s response on this so far hasn’t been very promising. I sure hope he looks at the bigger picture.

I thought it was funny that techcrunch had a link. Mike seems to be walking the line with his close relationships with the company’s he reviews. If he is getting kickbacks and the such then he needs to state that in his review.

Keep on callin’ ‘em like you see ‘em. I have never liked attempts to outsmart the search engines. For their own gain, they try to defeat the effectiveness of the search.
