I have an advert of MDHP and it gets nothing like 100 a day, more like 2 a
day. This is okay for 5+ years of ad space and will make me more than I paid
but it is not that great. Alex's site is now dropping off the charts and he
is finding it hard to complete the 1 million dollars.

The guy had a neat idea and was first and he also got very lucky. I'm
pleased for him but his site doesn't make any traffic so it's life is
limited. I made my own clone of MDHP but it makes its own traffic. With in
the year I'm sure my site will have a higher alexa rating than Alex's will,
his will continue to drop and mine will continue to grow. If you want to see
it then http://www.pixelverts.com It's FREE so please place an ad.

The art idea is cool and may make it a bit more popular but you are going to
need 1000's of page view a day for it to take off.

Let me know how the press release goes. It would be interesting to see what
impact it has. Cheers, David http://www.pixelverts.com
