Pixel Ads and Profiles

Everybody has heard of or seen pixel ads on the web. Pixel ads are great affordable ways for websites and businesses to advertise themselves and get a larger flow of traffic on their sites. But pixel ads or not just for businesses anymore, everybody can use the ad medium to bring attention or focus onto them, including celebs. In less than 10 days, with no advertising except word of mouth, the new website is grabbing the attention of thousands of online users, including celebrities.

The site addresses two long time problems in the profile community: lack of traffic to the average user?s profile and the ability to stand out in the crowd. David Hoekzema and Clinton Nauseda discover a new twist in internet networking that solves the dilemma. There are millions of profiles on the web, the purpose of a profile is to be noticed. So how do you stand out among millions? The twist uses ?exclusive space? for its users. In building MyPixelProfiles.com, the architects are utilizing a system that will bring more attention to the average person by limiting the amount of space and time a profile will be online.

By providing people a thirty day window and reducing the amount of profiles on the site the user is able to generate traffic that they may never have received, helping network with new people and friends. Celebrities, including comedians, models, actors and musicians, are immediately recognizing the site?s ability to help build relationships with their fans. MyPixelProfiles.com allows celebrities and internet users alike ?exclusive space? to help drive traffic to themselves, at the same time giving the average user a chance at their ?15 minutes of fame".
