The Million Dollar Homepage is a website conceived in 2005 by Alex Tew a student from Wiltshire England to raise money for his university education. The home page consists of a million pixels arranged in a 1000 × 1000 pixel grid; the image-based links on it were sold for US$1 per pixel in 10 × 10 blocks. The purchasers of these pixel blocks provided tiny images to be displayed on them a URL to which the images were linked and a slogan to be displayed when hovering a cursor over the link.
