Pixel marketing is a rapidly growing trend on the Internet. Its origins started with The Million Dollars Homepage, designed by a college student with an idea on how to make a million dollars. He started a page that consisted of one million pixels, or little squares and sold each pixel for $1.00 each. The site garnered a lot of media publicity and the idea took off. Today, there are a lot more pixel marketing websites with the costs becoming much more competitive. The concept is gaining in popularity because of the lower cost of pixel marketing compared to more traditional means of Internet advertising.
