He goes to my university (Nottingham University). Much respect to him :) Nottingham has a good entrepreneurial reputation I believe also :D

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I always wondered how he got the site started in the first place though, and this thread is the first time I've heard about his professional marketing help, which is a bit disappointing really.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Edit: I just read some of his blog, and he only hired his professional publicist in the middle of October, so it didn't get him started at all. Also, it says he has deferred his degree until next year, so technically he doesn't go to my university, heh :P

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The middle of October is when everything picked up anyways. Assuming that he really didnt' get the marketer until then :P

Hes a very lucky guy. Any avertiser with an ounce of intelligence knows that people do NOT visit sites just to look at averts and that a tiny square ad is going to generate even LESS clicks and that now the site has been used up not even news agencies and cirious people are going to go there. lol

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Its win for the guy whos idea it was but the ppl that paid are royally screwed lol

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Not necesarily.. It's a part of internet history. An icon.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The people that bought up very early on have done very well, and let's not forget this site is ranked in the top 130 visited sites on the internet.. The users arn't going to drop off that quickly.

I heard on Richard & Judy that he doesn't actually go...yet :P He deferred entry until next year (Or this year, technically) because he was swamped with business ventures and media proposals.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Think though, once he's finished his course; how many people are going to want to employ him now.

It kind of just shows you, there are still ways on the internet to make a quick million bucks legit :P

Nope. He went for this semester, and has only recently (over the Christmas holiday) decided to defer his degree until next year.

I first went to the site some time in September, and he'd already sold at least 100,000 pixels by then. The difficult part of a site like he has is selling the first 10,000 pixels. He'd already managed to get an article on bbc.co.uk at the time when I first looked at his site, and that had started the ball rolling.

Oh righty, I didn't know you could do that. Thanks!

 

 

 

Curse Richard & Judy's ambiguousness >.<
