Hmm, for 70 quid my 3 year old daughter can paint you a poster that looks just like the shot of MDH! Any takers?

way too many people are doing the million dollar home page now. its always like that, someone gets an idea, look at myspace and youtube, how many replica sites have been made to try and earn on the original idea.

The million dollar homepage was a great idea the first time around – it was unique and had lots of attention. You could understand why people would buy a spot on it. But a poster of the page? Who in their right mind would buy one? Could luck to them of course and it may do well – but for me I wouldn’t buy one in a million years…

Hi Al

(Good to meet you at the Wordpress North get together on Friday)

Talking of conferences, is anyone going to SMX London? I was thinking about it, but the Local Search part is my main interest, so I’m not sure if it’s worth paying for the whole thing

Cheers, Jon

Milking the million dollar homepage.

It’s a great marketing device to extend that success to be fair.

It’s another easy £70K if he sells all 1000.

The poster sale is definitely another ingenious idea of online marketing to monetise the site further. I doubt he has fully used up his million, but this idea can be unlimited.
