Phoenix Surf Make... A Pixel Site! What a surprise.

Well, in their quest for extra revenue streams it seems that all the big new Autosurfers are jumping on the pixel bandwagon. Fair enough, it’s good for us the user and it gives advertisers a little extra incentive too… It seems that each generation of autosurfer takes one step further…

Phoenix-Surf are the guys now jumping on the bandwagon and they have a competition as well. Here’s the update:

“Dear Members,

It is time for some announcements that you have all been waiting for. As many of you know, our pixel site is finished. We have received a tremendous response regarding this program but I would like to take this time to explain how pixel sites work.

Pixel sites serve as “Virtual Billboards” for your website. You will have the opportunity to purchase a bllock of pixels to advertise a website of your choosing. As the volume of traffic increases to our site, your “billboard” will be seen by thousands of potential clients/referrals across the globe. Pixel advertising has the potential to dramatically increase the traffic rating of your site. Now, as many of you know based on our Phoenixsurf.com site, traffic = money in the internet world. As members of NME, you have become a part of this world. Because of this, we are going to help you take advantage of every trend and marketing tool that will help to improve your business.

Now, most of our members were extremely excited about the above information and we could have stopped there. But as we all know, here at NME we always take it one step further. Not only are we gong to help you increase the traffic to your website and pay you for referring others to the site, we are going to offer the biggest prizes in the industry! Once a page fills up, we will offer a variety of prizes to the member who purchased a “prize pixel”. We will get deeper into the mechanics of this later, but for now let’s discuss the prizes, including a 2006 Dodge Viper!

Once the Bronze page (.10 per pixel) fills up, we will be giving out:

1. 20 Video iPods: View your own videos, or watch music videos and TV shows you can purchase from the iTunes Music Store.

*3. As the grand prize we have hidden 1, 2006 Yamaha Raptor 700R under one of the pixel blocks in the pixel grid. The most powerful, sharpest handling raptor ever built! All-new, fuel-injected and packing serious hardware, this one’s built to rule the off-road roost.
