The page is still up :-) http://www.milliondollarhomepage.com/

History: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Million_Dollar_Homepage

The ads also still get traffic, A while back I wrote a script to list all the domains that had expired and bought one at random for shits and giggles. GA reported about 100 uniques per month.

that's a pretty interesting idea. I did something similar a while back to grab expired image hosting websites that still had a ton of images linked to them.

expired domains are a continual source of fun.

Hilarious! I just scraped all the domains and did nslookups on all of them to see which where expired. Then I registered the one with the largest area (milliondollarconnect.com occupied 1000 pixels) at x1, y1 = 710, 750 (the ad that looks like a glassy oval). Will report back on traffic.

Advertisers are now getting more value being viewed on my 4K display scaled for the website. A dollar for four pixels!

They're getting more pixels but those pixels are smaller!

The plight of promising an object but not a dimension! :)

wow ... I just spotted ling's cars! Besides 'The Times', I've not spotted anything which I recognise on there. And I'm kinda surprised there aren't more porn adverts, to be honest.

Thanks to your comment, I discovered Ling's website, it is a work of art! I love it!
