Buy Pixels
Pixels on The Billion Pounds Homepage are available in 100 pixel 'blocks', with
each block measuring 10x10 pixels. You will see the homepage is divided into
10,000 of these blocks. The reason for selling them in these blocks is because
anything smaller than 10x10 pixels would be too small to display anything
meaningful.
Each 10x10 block costs £10, equating to a cost of 10p per pixel. You can buy as
many blocks of pixels as you like, as long as there are some available (see the
live stats in the top right corner of the page). Please read all of the
following Termss & Conditionss if you are about to buy some pixels:
Terms and Conditions
-
The minimum purchase is £10 (100 pixels), and the maximum purchase is whatever
is left
-
When you 'buy' my pixels you will not 'own' any part of the homepage or this
site, but rather you are granted the right to submit an image and link which
will then be published on the homepage in the respective space you have paid
for
-
You cannot change the image or link once you have submitted them, so you must
be sure of the image & link you want on the homepage, which will be there
for at least 5 years. The only exception is if you have a strong reason why you
need a change to your image/link, eg. your site no longer exists, major
structural change to your site, lawsuits, etc.
-
If your image and link are accepted and published on the homepage, you cannot
get a refund
-
The site and homepage will be online for at least 5 years (starting from the
day it launched), so at least until 26th August 2010, but possibly even longer
(that's the aim)
-
No obscene/offensive/adult images/links will be accepted, and I decide what is
appropriate for my site. If you submit an image or link that is rejected, you
will have the opportunity to provide an alternative, otherwise your money will
be refunded and you will lose your pixels
-
If your link is accepted and you later change the content of the linked site to
show offensive/obscene/adult material then your link will be removed until you
provide a new one, and you will not get a refund of any kind for the link
downtime
-
If for whatever reason in the future you want your image and link removed from
the homepage, you can do that, but you will not get a refund and the space will
become publically available again
-
Images must be the exact size you have paid for (eg. 100 pixels = 10x10 pixels)
-
Images must be in GIF or JPEG format, and a reasonable file size
-
Images must NOT be animated (imagine how messy the homepage would look)
-
Links must be to web pages only and begin with http://
-
You must have the authority to provide the image and link for the website you
submit
-
Funds must be fully recieved and cleared before your pixels go live on the
homepage
-
There might be occasional downtime for site maintenence but I'll try and keep
these to a minimum
-
Once you have ordered and the funds have cleared (eg. in my PayPal or bank
account), I will aim to get your pixels online within 24-48hrs (but please have
patience if things kick off and loads of people order at the same time)
Ok great, so now you're all set to buy some pixels. There is one way
to pay for pixels: PayPal
.
PayPal
PayPal is an ideal payment method for purchasing 100 to about 12,000 pixels. (For larger
orders, please contact pixels@billionpoundshomepage.co.uk.) Because
the pixels are sold in £10 blocks, please ensure you order the correct quantity
of blocks when ordering. It doesn't matter if you only have US funds as PayPal
will automatically convert them for you! Once you have paid for your pixels,
please e-mail pixels@billionpoundshomepage.co.uk
with the following:
-
Attach your image as a GIF or JPEG (must be correct size for the pixels
purchased)
-
State where you want your graphic to be placed on the homepage (eg. "50 blocks
across, 20 blocks down"). Make sure you are certain, because you can't change
it later.
-
State which website you would like your graphic linking to (must begin with
'http://')
-
State what TITLE/ALT text you want for your image, max. 50 characters.
TITLE/ALT text appears when people hover their cursor over your image.
