Million Dollar Homepage alternatives
The Million Dollar Homepage sold out in 2005 and is now an archive. Here are the modern ways to buy a fixed area on a page and link it to your site — and how to tell a good one from a gimmick.

The Million Dollar Homepage isn't purchasable anymore — it sold out in 2005. The modern alternative is an interactive pixel or logo wall: a shared canvas where you buy a fixed spot by size, upload a logo, add a link and pay once, but with per-spot pages, analytics and moderation the original lacked. PixelWall is one example.
What changed since 2005
The concept — buy a fixed area, place a linked image — is the same. What a good modern wall adds:
- Interactivity: zoom, pan, hover, search, categories.
- A page per spot: its own URL, so you can link to it and share it.
- Analytics: views, clicks, click-through rate, referrers.
- Editing: change your logo and link after purchase.
- Moderation: an acceptable-use policy and reporting, so the wall stays reputable.
- Real payment verification: the order can't be marked paid from the browser.
How to evaluate a wall
- Traffic. Does it get recurring visits, or was it only interesting at launch?
- What you get. A crawlable spot page? Analytics? The ability to edit?
- Honesty. Are the view / click numbers shown transparently?
- Neighbourhood. Are the other spots legitimate businesses?
- Pricing. Fixed and shown before payment? One-time, or a surprise renewal?
Formats to consider
| Format | What it is | Cost shape |
|---|---|---|
| Interactive pixel / logo wall | Buy a fixed spot by size on a browsable canvas | One-time, by size |
| Pay-to-rank board | Bid for a position on a single leaderboard | Open-ended bidding |
| Curated directory / launch board | Submit for a listing and a launch spike | Free or small fee |

Frequently asked questions
- Can I still buy pixels on the Million Dollar Homepage?
- No. It sold effectively all of its million pixels in 2005–2006 and is now an archive. To buy a fixed area on a page today you use a modern pixel or logo wall.
- What is the modern equivalent of the Million Dollar Homepage?
- An interactive pixel or logo wall: a shared canvas where you buy a fixed spot by size, upload a logo, add a link, and pay once. Unlike the 2005 version, each spot typically has its own page and analytics, and open cells stay purchasable. PixelWall is one example.
- Are Million Dollar Homepage clones worth it?
- Most direct clones failed because the original worked on novelty and press attention that couldn't be repeated. Judge any wall on real, recurring traffic, what your spot actually includes (a page? analytics? editing?), and whether it's moderated — not on the '$1 per pixel' gimmick.
