The Fat Boys knew that when they sang about it on Square One TV and it looks as if someone wants to prove it.
My wife found a post about someone who has been building websites for quite a few years now and posted it in her Live Journal. This person made a bet with his brother for £1000 that he could get 1 BILLION Unique Visitors to his website. The catch is he cannot spend a dime to do it himself. He can promote it, just not spend money to do it. As he has put it:
My name is AJ, I'm 26 years old, I have been making sites since the age of 17, I don't have a degree, not a a-level, not even a gcse, everything I know is self taught, I believe that the internet is the greatest invention of the millennium, the door is wide open for me...
"I recently made a website that grew from nothing to 200,000 hits in the first week, over a game of snooker, I just happened to be boasting about it to my friends, which then turned into a debate on how websites work and how to promote them... one of them challenged me, and I love a good challenge, they bet me and said they would gladly give me £1000 if I could make a site that gets One Billion Hits! There was one major clause, I cannot spend a penny in marketing the website, just me, my laptop and nothing else! We all know I could simply put a refresh tag in and leave my laptop on for a month... so I told him I would get 1 billion unique hits just to prove it can be done!"
The link to his site is http://www.onebillionpageviews.com. I'm going to post this here in the hopes the search engines might get it. If you want by all means please post this in your BlogEstates :) Let's see if we can help him achieve this goal.
