The Million Dollar Boy, clever or just lucky?

Replying to [Admin]:He was clever, but his approach was not. He would have succeeded if he was not so eager to make huge money in small period of time.

Ingenious it may be, and to say luck is far fetched, and it does not take a Rocket Scientist to figure it out.
I can imagine the simplicity of it all, based on opportunity to strike into the hearts of people, entice them with greed, the chance to win a million dollars in the "pixelotto." At the same time gathering data of email addresses which he can sell to promotional companies, selective data such as the sites visited, the number of repeated visits, which countries the email originated.
Alibaba forum site is also a data mine, where there are number of prospectors digging into the data base to steal the data and call people who register with Alibaba forum. Companies dealing with investments use VoIP to call their prospects, names, phone numbers, position in the company and a profile of their business volume in US$, all from the Alibaba Registration forms.
I got a strong notion, this will wear out, as takers of the pixel point advertisers want to promote their product or website, but all this has a lot to do with the hit rates and the stickiness (the time of stay) on the site.
As to my observation, people log into this site in hope of winning a million dollars, which may never happen, God knows. The condition is the visitor must register and visit at least 10 sites. When the whole 1,000,000 pixels are filled, then the contest begins, and who is going to authenticate and be the judge as who is the winner?
Opportunity strikes and this guy made it at the right time, right place and the exact emotions of the audience, but as the advertisers got worn out, this fad will wear off, and eventually they may not see the returns for their $1 a pixel investment, and this will be the downward trend of our new founded millionare.

Yes, it is only a cup of coffee per pixel advertising space, just sheer Homepage full of pixels of logos, avartas and key phrases, with cursor tag. Ask yourself these questions:
1. What makes browsers to visit the web page, and what brings them back again?
2. How will the clients pay for the fees of $1 per pixel?
3. How to ensure that everyone pays up?
4. Is the charge of $1 per pixel a one-off charge for a certain period of time on the website? Or is there a periodic charge?
Comments for:
1. There is no incentives for visitors to come back to the web page, there is no motivational factor, people will get bored looking through the pagefull of pixels and the hit rates diminished after a while.
At the apparent stage, there is nothing which draws the audience to come back, except on the promise of a "lucky winner" of 1 million dollars with at least 10 hits. This may never happen, as the condition for this is to have the page full with the 1 million pixels advertising space taken up.
2. For $1.00 transactions, you cannot collect through Credit Cards, there is a charge of 3% by the Credit Card Service Provider for minimum transactions of $20.00.
This looks more like to be a SCAM than a business with a plan to grow and provide the clients some benefits.

We always emphasis on the result, this time, because this boy were suceed, then everybody talk about for his sucess. in my opoinon not matter what you look like today, the most important is we should always be opotimic, always keep try even you failed today. pls never give up you ideal. For this boy, cause he always under presure & he is willing to try, then he finally suceed .I believe even he were not suceed this time, surely he will win someday in the future. sucess sometime is just depend on our attitude.
