If you're looking for pixels, you've come to the right place! We've
got a million of the little things.
Pixels on The Million Pixel Site are available in 100 pixel
'blocks', with each block measuring 10x10 pixels. You will see the
homepage is divided into 10,000 of these blocks. The reason for
selling them in these blocks is because anything smaller than 10x10
pixels would be too small to display anything meaningful.
(However, if you want to own less than 100 pixels - eg. one pixel
- you could always club together with family/friends/colleagues and
buy a single 10x10 block.)
Each 10x10 block costs US$100, equating to a cost of $1 per
pixel. You can buy as many blocks of pixels as you like, as long as
there are some available (see the live stats in the top right corner
of the page). Please read all of the following T's & C's if you
are about to buy some pixels - especially those marked in red. Just
so we all know what the score is :)
Terms and Conditions
The minimum purchase is $100 (100 pixels), and the maximum
purchase is whatever is left
When you 'buy' my pixels you will not 'own' any part of the
homepage or this site, but rather you are granted the right to
submit an image and link which will then be published on the
homepage in the respective space you have paid for
You cannot change the image or link once you have submitted
them, so you must be sure of the image & link you want on the
homepage, which will be there for at least 5 years. The only
exception is if you have a strong reason why you need a change to
your image/link, eg. your site no longer exists, major structural
change to your site, lawsuits, etc.
If your image and link are accepted and published on the
homepage, you cannot get a refund
The site and homepage will be online for at least 5 years
(starting from the day it launched), so at least until 26th August
2010, but possibly even longer (that's the aim)
No obscene/offensive/adult images/links will be accepted, and
I decide what is appropriate for my site. If you submit an image
or link that is rejected, you will have the opportunity to provide
an alternative, otherwise your money will be refunded and you will
lose your pixels
If your link is accepted and you later change the content of
the linked site to show offensive/obscene/adult material then your
link will be removed until you provide a new one, and you will not
get a refund of any kind for the link downtime
If for whatever reason in the future you want your image and
link removed from the homepage, you can do that, but you will not
get a refund and the space will become publically available again
Images must be the exact size you have paid for (eg. 100
pixels = 10x10 pixels)
Images must be in GIF or JPEG format, and a reasonable file
size
Images must NOT be animated (imagine how messy the homepage
would look)
Links must be to web pages only and begin with http://
You must have the authority to provide the image and link for
the website you submit
Funds must be fully recieved and cleared before your pixels go
live on the homepage
There might be occasional downtime for site maintenence but
I'll try and keep these to a minimum
Once you have ordered and the funds have cleared (eg. in my
PayPal or bank account), I will aim to get your pixels online
within 24-48hrs (but please have patience if things kick off and
loads of people order at the same time)
Ok great, so now you're all set to buy some pixels. There are two
ways to pay for pixels: credit card Visa Mastercard via Secure form
Credit card is the ideal
payment method for purchasing 100 to 1,000 pixels. Because the
pixels are sold in $100 blocks, please ensure you order the correct
quantity of blocks when ordering. Once you have paid for your
pixels, please e-mail
info@internet-services.gr
with the following:
Attach your image as a GIF or JPEG (must be correct size for
the pixels purchased)
State where you want your graphic to be placed on the homepage
(eg. "50 blocks across, 20 blocks down"). Make sure you are
certain, because you can't change it later.
State which website you would like your graphic linking to
(must begin with 'http://')
State what TITLE/ALT text you want for your image, max. 50
characters. TITLE/ALT text appears when people hover their cursor
over your image.
Things are still busy. Current maximum
estimated time from ordering your pixels to going live on homepage:
48 hours.
It's still worth getting in the queue as early as you can, in
order to reserve your spot on the homepage. Please note if two or
more people in the queue ask for the same position on the homepage,
the person who ordered earliest will have priority.
