The Mile-wide home page

Since the Million Dollar home page came out, at least a million people must have thought about ways to repeat its success. One of the handful that's getting attention is the The Mile Wall, which is selling space horizontally, an inch at a time. It could become the longest page in Internet history. So far it's up to 8ft.

"At $1 per square inch for an entire lifetime online it's a real bargain, especially if you're used to paying $1 for a single pixel!" writes Travis Smith, the 19 year old college student beind The Wall.

The site opened on January 1 and has just been featured by TechWeb News.

A more Web 2.0-style idea is 1000tags.com. According to TechCrunch: "1000Tags is different enough from MillionDollarHomePage that I think it will have a lot of sucess, too. They call it "the first commercial tag cloud". And that's exactly what it it. You can purchase a tag, pay by the character and font size, and hope that a lot of traffic to your site is the result."

Shared tags cost $5 per character, with a minimum of $25.
