barrowvian Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 Hi guys and girls, I said I'd help my bud out by posting a message on a couple of the forums I use. If it's against the rules at all then I apologise :whistling: He has made a new site, overonemillionads.com / over1000000ads.com where he is aiming to display over one million ads on a single homepage. Just for a bit of fun on his part, mainly to see if it can be achieved. Anyway, each ad costs just $10 (approx £7) and every penny of it goes to a children's charity, to help create opportunities for terminally ill children. You can advertise anything (e.g. business, personal site, blog etc) just to show your support for the cause. Any support is greatly appreciated. Again, the site is overonemillionads.com / over1000000ads.com Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Adam Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 he is aiming to display over one million ads on a single homepage. Judging by the "[1]" it looks like he's planning to paginate them? If he doesn't, once all million are there the user will end up having to download about 20mb worth of images (assuming ~20kb per image), with a separate request for each. That will take the absolute piss to download and render.. Anyway, each ad costs just $10 (approx £7) and every penny of it goes to a children's charity, to help create opportunities for terminally ill children. Every penny? He stands to loose a lot of money, considering the bandwidth bill.

isedeasy Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Another pixel ad site... I can't take this whole charity thing serious, How do I know the site owner won't just pocket it?

Philip Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Considering the faq doesn't show anything about the charity, and the playfulness of the copy, I wouldn't be trusting that it went to charity. And yes, just another pixel ad site. These will just never go out of style Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/204692-web-project-for-charity/#findComment-1072972 Share on other sites More sharing options...
