I think there's a difference between seeing an ad on a billboard and ignoring it vs. an ad on a site that's just one big advertisement. Most people will not visit a site that exists purely for the purpose of advertising.

Precisely. The success that the original Million Dollar Homepage enjoyed was almost entirely because it was a novelty in a number of ways -- the World Wide Web was new to the public, web advertising was new, web pages with organically created content were new... Nowadays, it takes a lot more to get that kind of attention. I don't think it'd be possible without some kind of groundbreaking new technology -- well beyond anything that's on display here.
