A few of you might ask if Social Bookmarking sites are still bringing traffic and if it worths to stay and bookmark your site to as many sites like this as possible. From my oppinion it STILL WORKS and it works great. I have done some experiments with StumbleUpon and I was impressed about my results. With only a couple of stumbles (2 or 3) I have brought around 200 visitors in the day I have stumbled and 50 more the next day on on site. It’s been around 2 months and I still get a couple of visitors from there daily.

Big ad companies make their best to sell the available ad space on their websites. Last year Alex Tew, a 21-year-old student from Cricklade, Wiltshire,England came up with the idea of selling pixels as ad space for $1 per pixel. The media and the entire world soon found out about this revolutionary idea that had previously been brought to life by this young man. Famous, including Orange and The Times, or less well known brands bought ad space on this web site.

Everything started with Alex experiencing a lack of money. His first thought was to raise money for his studies at the University of Nottingham. The domain name sparked his creativity and he immediately put on paper the features the site needed. He bought the domain name for £50. After designing the site himself, which was just a blank page, he invested $1,000 in a press release. The traffic increased and more and more advertisers were persuaded to trust his idea.
