Once upon a time it was enough to just break your homepage into pixels and sell them all for a million dollars to become the coolest linkbait on the net. Not anymore. With the amount of clones created for the original Million Dollar Homepage everybody is bored to death with that simple concept (isn’t it the beauty of linkbait – really talanted link bait cannot be copied or stolen). Now, it takes a bit more to stand out of the crowd.
When Michael Gray a.k.a. GrayWolf mentioned he was really awesome it looked pretty catchy but it still was sort of a repetition of an old school “somebody.isgay.com” trick. Now, when I saw Jon Henshaw mention Paul Dixon’s Flyer Wall, that was indeed a cool concept! This guy not only offers you a link but actually designs you a flyer to go with it – very stylish, if you ask me. The idea seems to be picking up too – the current Alexa rank is a bit over 303K.
