Seriously, first of all, you can't guarantee a lifetime of advertising and only give a year. A lifetime is a lifetime, even if it's only a dollar.

And, again, don't expect to fill up the site, because you're getting your hopes up way too high. No Million-Dollar-Clone has ever been successful in filling up, except the original, and I can't imagine any other ones being successful. It's just a trend, and it's a dying one.

Yes, I understand that. I have now realised the point that i wont make a million. But seriously, any profit i would be happy with. Even just a $5 profit i would be glad to have.

I am doing it for 5 reasons really:
1) Experiment
2) Fun
3) Boredom (fun and boredom!?)
4) Advertising purposes
5) Money

I know there have been many clones, but most of the clones were... actual exact clones. Mine is the same except it has a gamers edge to it. I doubt i would seriously find 1,000,000 gaming websites as well, so like i said before, if i could get any profit i would be happy.

Why don't you provide a set of video game sprites - Mario, Sonic, etc - and charge a small amount to place each sprite on your grid?

With enough characters and scenery, you could end up with a pretty awesome image overall.

Not a bad idea actually... Which gives me another idea in a way...
So, what if i did this:

Welcome to Million Dollar Gamers.
The million dollar pixel website, with a unique gamers edge.

To place an advertisement on Million Dollar Gamers you can either:
a) Recomended: Go to http://www.videogamesprites.net/ and choose from a wide selection of free video gaming sprites and upload one of them to the website. The cost will depend on how many blocks the sprite takes up.
b) Use your own image/sprite and upload it to the website. The price will also vary depending on how many blocks the image uses.

The price per block is just $1. Each block is 100 Pixels.

The image/sprite you place will be linked to your website or any website you want. This will increase the traffic to your website, your websites PageRank (Vital for high search engine rankings) and you will be exclusively part of Gaming History.

The advertisement will stay on the website for as long as the website stays open (Atleast 1 year).

Thank you!

Would that idea be any better?

Sounds good to me.

To encourage the video game sprite theme, it might be worth making your own scenery and using it as the background.

That way you're giving people places to put their sprites.

That is a really sweet idea. Given me an idea for my own 'advertsing for advertising's sake' idea, sort of.

Yeh, so, maybe like a top-down view of a fantasy gaming land?

Just came across this which is a pretty unique take on the idea:

Thats quite good. And it's $10 just to rent it for a month and they are still getting lots of money.

"milliondollarpenis.com"

and make the box look like one - just for comical value >_>

I think a 2D side on view would be best, like the old side scrolling Super Mario, with just hills and steps and ledges for all the characters to sit on!
