PayPerPost has acquired performancing. I just got an email dropped into mailbox by PayPerPost this morning, about they have acquired Performancing. What's PayPerPost? If you are newbie or beginner on blogging, well this is the website that allows you blog for dollars. As what it domain name tells, it pays you per post. You can sign up either as an advertiser or as blogger. For a blogger, if you wanna make some dollars and even further to make a living by blogging, PayPerPost is the one that you should go for. Besides, if you run out of idea on what to write, get onto PayPerPost, there are so many advertisers out there offering some topics for you to write on and you will get paid for this!

If you are rich enough and you already have a well-established website or blog or having great products or services to sell, you can even get on PayPerPost as an advertiser, getting some bloggers to post and make a buzz of your goods! And you pay them for doing so!

What about Performancing? In short, it's a community for professional bloggers! It eases your blog publishing by providing FREE WYSIWYG blog editor, which works well with major blog softwares and supports Trackback, Technorati and Del.icio.us. Other than this, it helps you track by its statistics and even leads you to get paid for blogging. I'll cover more on Performancing on my next post. I haven't even got my own Performancing account, as I'm a part-time not a full-time yet. I'm gonna sign up for one now, explore it, so I can tell you more in my next post!

The Next Multi-million buzz from MillionDollarHomePage's creator



New idea of Alex Tew
Another multi-million venture by Alex Tew, who is gonna launch his multi-millions idea soon. This time, he is going to launch a site called, www.pixelotto.com , which he is targeting for USD$2 per pixel. Alex has been annoucing now over the Internet that he is going to give away USD$1 million for the prize for those who managed to click the right pixel ads.


Just a little bit of history about Alex Tew, the young British entrepreneur, who managed to raise USD$1 million for paying back all his student loan by launching a pixel ads website, www.milliondollarhomepage.com. It took him about 5 months plus only to have sold out all the pixel ads on his website and he even auctioned the last 1000 pixels on eBay, which was then lastly grabbed by www.milliondollarweightloss.com for a price of USD$30K.

The new venture by Alex, has triggered some buzz over the net and being debated over several hot forums and blog sites during its prelaunch, such as TechCrunch and SitePoint. A post by Techcrunch's Natali Del Conte , who claimed that Alex's idea was stupid as it is just a repeat of his first one. Natali even claimed that she was gonna eat her word, if Alex could succeed for the second time. The post by Natali so far has gathered more than 100 comments, which could be one of the hottest posts on TechCrunch!

Since Alex is giving away USD$1 million for the prize, I bet that he will succeed, as it would trigger huge traffic and people out there will be passionately waiting for its launch and trying to click the right ads for winnng the $1 million. It's really interesting to know that how Alex is going to give the one who clicks the right ads the 1 million prize. There would be many out there just sit in front of thier PC and keep on trying to click the ads. Some programmers even claimed that they could simply program a BOT, which will click all the ads automatically.

To avoid clicking fraud, Alex would need to put a lot of effort on his website, such as offering membership account, and only registered members can click the ads and there is a need for putting anti-spam and anti-bot feature for the website to prevent those software robots from clicking the right ads!
