http://pixeldebt.com/index.php Private Student Loans: $86,066 (white blocks) / Federal Student Loans: $16,486 (gray blocks) / Credit Card Debt: $12,407 (black blocks) Pixel advertising is not a new concept. It came to the forefront in the 2006 with the Million Dollar Homepage project and generated multiple offshoots that were not as successful, each person trying to make their million dollars. <br /> <br />Pixels of Debt is a slightly different spin on this phenomenon. Rather than posting up a 1,000 x 1,000 square pixel grid, this grid is only 1,000 x 500 pixels (fitting entirely within most browsers). <br /> <br />Instead of charging $1.00 per pixel and making the entry point $100 for a 10 x 10 pixel square, pixels are priced at $0.23, making the entry point only $23 for a 10 x 10 pixel square. <br /> <br />Where did the $0.23 price point come from? This project was created to assist in paying off student loan and credit card debt accumulated while at the University of Washington for a four-year education. The starting amount of debt was $115,000; so pixels were priced appropriately to be able to payoff the $115,000, no more and no less. <br /> <br />I will not just be sitting around and waiting for the squares to sell and the debt to be paid off. I too will be paying off the debt and replacing squares with logos and links to donation sites for registered non-profit organizations and charities (at the moment, only the American Cancer Society has been selected for inclusion). <br /> <br />If you are a member of a non-profit/charity and would like your organization to be included when I pay off pixels of my own debt, please leave submit a question on this auction or send an e-mail to <a href="javascript:void(0);/*1246310722434*/">admin@pixeldebt.com</a>. <br /> <br />Purchase of pixel blocks and upload of images is done through an automated process on the <a href="javascript:void(0);/*1246310731452*/">pixeldebt.com</a> website, allowing you to instantly place your advertisement image with a link to your site.
