Wow, time really slips away when you're not paying attention...


Geez, I didn't realize it has been a long time since I've posted to this blog.

My apologies...

You see, I've been out on the point doing the marketing for my good friends JPE Advertising with PixelsAnyone.com and they're latest fun addition to Joe and Mable.

I've got to tell you... it's been a long time since I've encountered such negativity, or perhaps veiled jealousy. I've been nearly run off of some forums just because I like to talk about this "pixel ad" concept.

I've been told it's a fad... I'm wasting my time... it will never work... it's just so "yesterday"... I'm a scammer... and sometimes worse.

Now, here's something I knew from the outset, this is one of those things that you either love or hate... and in today's world, the hater's are the more vocal than the lovers.

Let me share a few facts with you.

I've been tracking the Alexa rankings of about 100 "pixel ad" sites. Now, I know that Alexa isn't the best of trackers, but it does provide a bit of a common ground for all. It only works on IE. I only use IE when I need to check the Alexa ranking, so I know we're seeing only a percentage of the traffic.

Since Alex Tews first put up his site in early August, the traffic rankings have gotten better and better. Using only that number you get on the toolbar, I've been keeping track of sites with rankings better than 1 million. Yes, I understand that Alexa really only does much (graphwise) with sites at 100K or better.

Just in case you're not familiar with Alexa, their score is like golf... the lower the better. For example, this week, Amazon.com is #1, MSN.com is #2 and Yahoo is #3.

Not surprising, Alex's MillionDollarHomepage.com is sporting a 2108 ranking. That's up from 4637 just 35 days ago. More importantly, he also has a Google PR7.

There are only 12 "pixel ad sites" with Alexa rankings of better than 100K. PixelsAnyone, a relative "late comer" has been holding steady at #7, rising from #8 2 weeks ago. Keep an eye out as it continues to move up in the rankings.

Google PR is another story. Alex earned his PR7 after just 2 months. PixelsAnyone may have missed this month's "google dance", so watch out next month. Since PixelsAnyone is in this for the long haul, patience is the watchword.

Jane Mark and Phil Basten have recently added another exciting "pixel page"... Joe and Mable have gotten into the act. That's one very zany, over the top, duo.

You can expect lots of craziness from them... People are drawn to the Joe and Mable site to hear their latest irreverent takes on Internet Marketing... "Joe? Yes, Mable? Are we rich yet?"

If you've not yet checked them out, be prepared for an absolutely mind-blowing experience. Imagine, a New Yorker (Mannhattan type), an Aussie, and an Irishman...

Ok, so you've got two links to check out... PIxelsAnyone.com and JoeandMable.com. Help us fly Mable to Paris. Once you've spent a short while with Joe and Mable, you'll be happily contributing.
