PIXELS RELATED QUESTIONS

Q: Can I lease only 1 pixel?

A: No, you lease them by the block, the block is 10 x 10 pixels (100 pixels) and the lease of such a block is currently AU$10 (About US$7.5). A pixel is way to small.

Q: If I buy a block of pixels how long will my link and image will last on your website?

A: Block(s) are leased to you until the leases expires, all leases on my site expire on the 1st November 2010, the sooner you lease it, the longer you can enjoy it.

A: Mate, p... off.

Q: I have a porn site, which is really great, Can I advertise on your site?... I will give you free access if you let me?

A: Hum...this is a hard one... but no sorry...though you are welcome to give me free access. Seriously I want to preserve the integrity of this site, I might joke, but all I do not need is all these naked ladies on my pixel map, it is a public site, all I do not want is people complaining about my site. This site should be fun for the public and me,  I  do want to appear before a court. I do not accept links to porn site as well, be sure to read my terms and conditions before you open an account on my site.

Q: I have my own pixel site, would you like to exchange pixels with me?

A: Well...I did give this one a long "brain session" (Thinking hard), at the end of the day I guess if I start to do that, I will end up with more people trying to advertise their pixel sites than genuine paying advertisers. It is a hard decision believe you me, what I can only propose is a link exchange on my link page, which I have set up for this purpose. UPDATE: After thinking a bit more, at my discretion I might exchange pixels, so long we are talking about just 1-3 blocks, again it is at my discretion.

Q: Would you give me a block for free?

A: Sorry I cannot, I am trying hard to lease them, what I can do on the other hand is point  you to free pixel sites, who are happy to  give  you free pixel block(s) against a link probably...

Q: Will you get some free pixel from your own site?

A: This is a hard one as well, and I have thought about it, I have decided to just limit my self to 18 blocks for now, which does not even cover the time I have spent setting this up and related cost and I will not be paying for them nor donate any money as a result of taking these 18 blocks, I mean if  I start to think this is my free playground, then I am going down the drain along with it, I do have to control myself if I want to make this a serious website. Now If I start to spend money on advertising, I might pay back my self by getting a block for each $10 I spent, I will not be donating to charity in this particular case. UPDATE: Since I put the price per pixel down, now I have 180 pixels.

Q: Will you give me a discount?

A: No I already dropped the original AU$1 price to AU$0.10.

Q: I am the director of a travel agency, I would like to give you a free ticket to Surfers Paradise against 100 block, deal?

A: No way Jose

Q: It is still the director of a travel agency here, now I would like to give you and your lovely wife and three kids, five free  tickets for a round the world trip, in first class with all hotels paid for three weeks in 6 cities of your choice with transfers plus 5  free tickets to Surfers Paradise, and 5 movies world passes, including room at the Palazzo Versace plus transfers, against 2500 block.

A: No worries, I will certainly go for a deal like this.

Q: I have that Goo Goo Dolls CD, would you trade it against a block?

A: Goo Goo Who? No thanks.

Q: Why are the pixels on the Union Jack and the stars are blocked?

I did so in order to keep the main element of the flag alive and visible, when all the space is filled or there is not enough space for someone who want to post his image , I will then proceed to unblock the rest of the flag.

Q: Is the price of the lease  will remain the same?

A: No ,the price right now is AU$0.1 a pixel (Which has been drop from the original AU$1,  it will most definitely go up, when I start to unblock the Union Jack and the Stars if I reach this point, there is a chance the price of  the lease will reach up to AU$3, the faster the pixel map fills up, the higher the chance I have to raise the lease price. Believe me it will really depend of the market situation, now it is stable, tomorrow I do not know.

CUSTOMERS RELATED QUESTIONS

Q:  I have paid for the lease of a block what now?

A: First I have to receive your order then verify payment as actually been received, then you are given the opportunity to upload your image and link, once I have been notify of you did so, then I have to  manually approve them as they are not directly uploaded to the site but to me for verification. Then once approved I publish them to the website Usually it takes less than 48 hours for this process, in the best case it can be done in 24 hours, so long you are quick to upload your image and link.

Q: Do you refund?

A: Hum, well of course I am not, so when you give me this money for the lease of a block of pixel, be sure 100%, because I will not give you the money  back to you for any reason, except when I think I have a fair reason in doing so.

Q: I do not want my block(s) on your site anymore can you trash it?

A: Sure, let me know.

Q: I want to sell my block(s) to Mr. X, can I do that?

A: You cannot because it is no yours, you have been offered a lease, you do not own any part of the page, you are just leasing some space on it.

Q: Then can I transfer my lease to Mr. X?

A: I have to say no, not for now, because I think it might be cause for problems such as fraud, scam etc.. and I do not want to get involve in this kind of mess. But believe me I am questioning myself about it still.

Q: Can I rent my block(s)?

A: You can rent your block(s) to someone else, as per your own arrangement, I just do not want to get involved in your business nor in your eventual dispute with third parties as a result of renting your block(s). Further more you cannot change your link(s) and image(s) without paying the administration fee, to rent a  block(s) means you have to have a very particular structure set up for this. Some people do it on other pixel pages and it is quite feasible, but not my business.

PERSONNAL QUESTIONS

Q: Do you really think  you are going to make a million dollar?

A: Well I really do not know how it is going to end up, but just like Johnny Walker keep on walking, I have to keep on trying. I know some  people are giving away free blocks of pixels, but I think they are missing the big picture here, a pixel page is only exciting because you know someone as paid good money for a block, I think that is what attract people, plus when you pay good money, I believe you will be very careful of what kind of image(s) you upload etc...every aspect is going to be very detailed, precise, unlike where it is free, you upload any images, it does not matter it is free, and most of the time it will be other people advertising their pixel sites, and the site owner advertising his stuff, the quality will not be the same, the diversity will not be the same as well. If you see the original and the free one or corrupted one, you will understand what I am talking about. Anyway Good luck to myself...
