This is just one of the reports that a deviantArt user (*notoca), who has her image uploaded here on the canvas, has kindly sent us to prove the enormous benefit received from The Million Dollart Art Piece:
In 2005, "The Million Dollar Homepage ™" was created by a student, Alex Tew, in need to pay his university fees, and it became quickly the source of thousands visitors for all the lucky pixel buyers' websites. Newspapers, TVs and blogs from all over the world talked about it. Shortly after it went Sold-Out. This website is not related to it or Alex in any way, it just shares the same script (the engine that runs the website basically).
Read some of the stories of the lucky Million Dollar Homepage pixel buyers below, to get an idea:
James Calloway, President, DS Laboratories, Inc., USA
"We were very skeptical about advertising on the Million Dollar Homepage; even though the visitor numbers are undeniable, we did not think that un-targeted traffic would result in actual sales. To say that we were surprised with the results would be an understatement. Our sales increased 40 / 50% within a week of going up on the Million Dollar Homepage through all of our online retailers and have stayed at this level until now. We are still measuring the impact this had on sales through traditional retailers." - www.dslaboratories.com
Steve Fair, Managing Director, Sponge New Business, UK
"Since placing a one-square ad on Million Dollar Homepage, we have seen our web traffic go from 90 hits a day to an average of 5000. One day saw a 19,500 hit count. I've been interviewed by BBC Radio and have won thousands of pounds worth of new clients. This was the most cost-effective piece of Marketing I have ever conducted." - www.spongenb.com

"The Million Dollar Homepage changed everything completely! On September 14, 2005, I had decided to do what I considered the most irresponsible investment I'd ever made. "Or... it could be your best ever investment!" was the short and simple answer of Alex Tew. How right he was on that. Visitor numbers increased from a few till a few thousands a day, and more important, keep on climbing!" - www.100-downloads.com

The Million Dollar Homepage has been a life-saver for me! In October it was my top source of web visitors and in the 3 months I've had my two pixels there I've seen a huge increase in traffic. It's the best $200 of advertising I've spent since I launched my website. It really works!" - www.hotelexpert.cc
