Billion Hit Man !!!

[Abbi]

Hiya all this is the latest goings on in uk where i come from ,,,,,,,,,

This guy called AJ is trying to get a billion page views on his site for a thousand pound bet! worth a click... im not sure if he can do it though, there are only 6 billion people on the planet!

I found him on Yahoo News:
http://news.yahoo.com/s/prweb/20060205/b...eb341973_1

He says on the interview with Yahoo:
"ThePixelWebsite.com grew from nothing to 200,000 hits in the first week of being online, over a game of snooker, I just happened to be boasting about it to my friends, which later turned into a debate on how websites work and how to promote them... one of them challenged me, and I love a good challenge, they bet me and said they would gladly give me £ 1000 if I could make a site that gets One Billion Hits! There was one major clause, I cannot spend a penny in marketing the website, just me, my laptop and nothing else. We all know I could simply put a refresh tag in and leave my laptop on for a month. so I told him I would get 1 billion unique hits just to prove it can be done."

The site is:
http://www.onebillionpageviews.com

What do you think? I think its gonna take forever........

Are you kidding me? There are more a hell of a lot more than one billion people in the world. At LEAST I'd say 35% use a computer.

man I'm gonna help this guy out, I mean cmon why not?? but ya its gonna take a while!

[Tool]

Proxies would help this son of a bitch. =\

[Aemaeth]

Are you guys blind, its a blatant money making scheme.
The advertisemnts on his site combined with the hits he gets are probably paying his wages.

[In[F]ec[T]eD]

He wont get there..myspace which is incredibly popular only has about 50 million registered users and its been out since January 2004 >.<

[[Ghost]]

Theres a differance between registered users and just plain ol' hits. What I'm wondering if he means unique hits or just hits in genral...

[Snipz]

I hit the refresh button 400 times and it went up 400 times.

[Kingsrookie]

[fleaflickerx]

[pyrocrow]

watch this guy make it, get the money, and waste it on drugs. I see no motivation.

[ggkthx]

Lol, but hey who wouldn't refuse a good challenge

[hellsing293]

who knows maybe if he does it he will be famous. I do think like platinum it is another way to make money. those sponsers must pay him some money too.

[ggkthx]

Be famous for that? i doubt it
