Its an experiment in the worth of online advertising spaces. Following on from Internet legends such as the Million Dollar Homepage, TurfJam is an advertising opportunity for marketeers and businesses.. however, the difference here is that each spot on TurfJam is being auctioned off. There are 100 pieces of “turf”, being released 10 at a time. As each auction runs and completes we will be updating and comparing the winning cost of each piece (all are the same size) to see how the price changes over time, and in relation to the number of pieces of turf left. If you would like more information please visit www.turfjam.com or get in touch with any questions. Regards, Craig Williams TurfJam Hi,

It seems very creative, and it will at least draw many users to the site. The concerns seem legitimate, though, so Tew might need to put some sort of spin on it, but I think, in the end, everyone will benefit. After all, if lots of people go to the site, a customer still might be attracted to a product right before they close a window. ;) Maybe he could make it so that only ten of your clicks will count a day. Regardless, congratulations Mr. Tew! :D I have to say, I like this idea. It seems very creative, and it will at least draw many users to the site.

Yes. Creative? Maybe. Overall I'm unimpressed by all this. Alex has brought garbage gullibility marketing to the internet. Big deal. Advertisers are getting low value at high price. I wouldn't be too proud of that. Insane? Yes. Creative? Maybe. Overall I’m unimpressed by all this. Alex has brought garbage gullibility marketing to the internet. Big deal.

Almost 100 comments in less then a day? Plus the fact that he has an existing client list from his last project, what makes you think they won’t pay a few more bucks to get some more publicity. It would be interesting if he gave out a prize to the “winning” link too, to drive more advertisers to buy space, but I guess they inherently make money with more user clicks. If anyone is interested in pixel advertising and art in general, you should check out http://www.citypixel.com . It’s quite an amazing site and they definitely put a spin on internet pixel ads. Anyway, I wish Mr. Tew all the luck in the world, and trust me I will be one of many clicking away hoping to win the million bucks!

The first one is www.cashcells.co.uk : This site offers the user clicking on the adverts the chance to win $$$, the total size of the prize is directly related to the number of adverts.
