50.000 and counting
Hey everyone, look at the counter :) Number of occupied pixels reached 50000 in such a short time. This number was my first goal, because I tought if I could fill 50000 pixels, then all million pixels on the page will be gone in some near future for sure. I don't know why this number, but stick around to find out if I was right.

Many pixels added, even more waiting!
Just to let you know that I'm working on current orders and sending
e-mails for pending requests, so if your pixel is not yet on main page
or you haven't got mail with ad sending instructions, please wait
because I have tons of requests to process.
Number of busy pixels went from 1400 to 20000+ in one
day, mainly because of the digg, but many ads are still waiting for
it's placement.
Also, as space quickly fills with ads, sometimes place you want
gets reserved few minutes earlier and I'm forced to move your add to
nearest free space. I will inform you about that and in that case you
could choose new place for your add, but few of info mails got
rejected as spam, so please if you have some issues regarding your ad
on main page, send me a message
Site on main page of digg.com - 154 orders in one minute!
OK This was not expected. I've got 1 order mail, than after few minutes
another. Half hour later 2 more, few minutes later 3 more and 3-4
hours after first mail I clicked "receive e-mail" I've got 154 new
messages that haven't existed a minute ago.
There will be a lot of work now so please be patient and wait for your
order to be processed.
Enough typing, I will do that later, I must process tons of e-mail
now.
I hope site will survive this :)
(If message sounds desperate, I'm not, I can't describe how happy am
I, but just a little shocked because of traffic amount)
/update/
I went through about half of your orders since digg-ish effect and I'm not
feeling well, really. I must catch a few hours of sleep and when I
wake up I'll complete sending e-mails to rest of you that signed up
tonight, after digg boom.
Every day - new order(s)
Just a short info that pixel orders started coming regularly every
day. Some of them sent banners, for others I'm still waiting, but as
you can see, page started to fill with ads. Slowly, but I'm sure it
will speed up in the future and eventually all million pixels will be
full of ads.
Finally, first ad on page
Today I've got first ad in my inbox and now it's on main page. Rest of the advertising sites still haven't sent their pics/coordinates. As soon as they arrive, I'll put them online.
Four more orders today, and it's not end of the day yet
Posting news every day wasn't exactly my plan, but neither was constantly increasing number of orders.
Four more orders :)) and day isn't over yet, so there may be a few more. Script wasn't so generous today, so it gave only 100px to 3 orders and 300px for one order. At this moment only one of them reserved place for it's pixels, but no picture from anyone yet, so we're still waiting something more than those "R" squares.
I'll try not to bother you every day with "hey, X number of new orders" but it's nice to see that things are going nice, so I want to share that excitement with you. From now on, no more news that contain only "x news pixels ordered" info.
Second day, second order
Ok, now this site has better start than famous first pixel page :)
Yes, I know it's not fair since I'm giving pixels away for free, but hey, I will not have million dollars at the end, so let me at least enjoy this so called success.
Second free pixels order came in. Script was good so far, so this order is 400px, which is really ok. In case you are wondering what happened to first order and why it's not on home page, they haven't replied with their picture yet.
Wuhu, first order!
In just a few hours first order arrived. I guess people like free stuff :)
Script decided that first ad will have 500 pixels. It's nice that first isn't in smallest possible dimensions.
I'm waiting for reply with picture and as soon as I receive it, it goes online.
Yeah, that were first 500 pixels that I ever gave to someone. Feels nice :)
Page launched!
Here it is. You all know about Alex's million dollar home page, first pixel page. You pay 1$ you get 1 pixel of ad space. Bunch of "I want million, here are pixels for you " pages instantly came up. After more than a year, you can still see one new "buy pixels" page every day. I don't want to earn million dollars with this page. It's not that I don't want million bucks, I do. I need socks too, lots of them and covering part of my university expenses would be nice and maybe a car and a ... ok, you get the point, but I don't think another "buy pixels" page will give me that, so let's have a new concept.
This is a pixel page that offers pixels FREE on first-come first-served basis.
There is one million of pixels, minimum that you can get is 100 (10x10 sqare), maximum is 10000. How much pixels you get, script decides, randomly.
Without further ado, check out FAQ and Rules pages for all the answers, and then go to Get pixels page to get your free pixels on main page. If you have more questions, use Contact page
