I actually purchased a $300 spot on this. I did get quite a few clicks, but very low-quality traffic. Mostly, I got lots of offers from copycat sites to join their "billion dollar" homepage or whatnot.
It's crazy how many copycats came out, very unoriginal thinking going on.
- jlangenauer 9y agoI remember that time - there were even people trying to sell guides purporting to teach people how to set up their own million-dollar homepage!
- sixQuarks 9y agosimilar thing happened with Groupon.

- nebabyte 9y ago> Any successful thing on the internet that hits the media will sooner or later be copied (usually sooner) Definitely not copied from anotheer commenter ;) I keep a list of things that follow this pattern, and yeah, altcoins/tokens are another. It really just becomes a catalogue of what's been popular/happening these past couple decades.

Remember 'awesomenessreminders.com', the story had barely been told or the first copycats were up. And that was the HN audience doing the copying.
- flashmob 9y agoI too bought, about $800, at the bottom right, to place the words "Million Dollar Script". The script cost $50 a pop, and allowed you to make a self-hosted copycat site. I was quite busy for the next few months as orders kept rushing in! I've also had a few competitors pop up & the script was pirated, including some selling it on ebay, they even forgot to remove my contact email, so their customers were coming to me for support. Eventually, the fad died down, but it got a lot of business out of those 800 pixels. Thanks Alex, if you're reading this, for the original idea & letting my ad on your site.
