Space on a website or a screen, sold by pixel, slot or hour. 13 tracked, 13 live, 0 landed, 0 dead. That is a 100 % survival rate so far. Best result: 1 Million Pixels (1milllionpixels.com) with $30,796.
How we decide: Is the ad shown on a screen or web page? Then it is space on a page. Known examples: The Million Dollar Homepage and its pixel clones, one-pixel ads, screensaver ads.
The 2005 pixel page again, with a price that rises as the grid fills.
Why it works: A $42 ad on another project in this list brought the viral day. A rising price rewards early buyers and gives every step a post.

Ten sponsor slots on a directory that had 80,000 views before it had a sponsor page.
Why it works: Traffic first, then scarcity on ten slots. The price went from $299 to $2,500 in one month without a single ad for the ads.

Buy a plot in a 3D city and an AI draws your building. Downtown costs $999.
Why it works: A city instead of a list, and a $1,000,000 tier as the joke.

Four corners of every TranslateMom video, auctioned to four brands for a month. All four bid within four hours.
Why it works: The inventory is attention that already exists: the videos get made whether or not anyone sponsors them, so the corner costs the creator nothing and the buyer knows the view count in advance.

100 places at $25 flat. The newest purchase takes the top row and pushes everyone down.
Why it works: Recency instead of price decides the rank. The price was raised mid-wave at 30 percent occupancy.

Exactly 100 spots in a pixel kingdom. 53,700 followers, $204.
Why it works: The biggest audience in the category and one of the smallest results. Followers are not buyers.

204 countries at fixed prices, $1 for Vatican City, $30 for the United States.
Why it works: Fixed prices instead of an auction on the same globe idea as warmap.lol: $188 against $7,394 in the same week.

One million pixels at ten cents, in ten price waves. Same idea as 1milllionpixels, same week, $111.
Why it works: The cleanest A/B test in the list: same product as 1milllionpixels, same week, a factor of 275 in revenue. The difference is distribution.

Ad spots in a grid. When the grid is full it doubles, and so does the starting price.
Why it works: Supply doubles with demand, and price doubles with supply.

Buy a key on the internet’s keyboard. The first key is free, the rest start at $1.

A shared wall of posters. Paste over anyone’s poster for 1.5 times its price.
Why it works: Displacement in space instead of a rank in a list. Tiny, but the pasting-over is named and timed.

Why it works: A fridge door as the board. $7.

The iPhone home screen anyone can buy. Dock spots by auction, from $1.
Why it works: A home screen as the grid; the dock is the scarce row.
