The Most Expensive Link on the Internet

mostexpensivelink.com ↗ · launched 21 Aug 2026 · 7 days so far

The page has exactly one outgoing link. Buying it costs the current price plus one dollar, the previous owner loses it at once and stays in a public history that is still clickable. Started on 21 August 2026; 31 owners in the first week, the shortest hold 59 seconds, the longest under 22 hours. One owner paid $100 and got 1,292 clicks in about 20 hours, roughly eight cents per click. The page describes itself as "currently, probably not the most expensive link on the internet".

A public list where your position is what you paid. Whoever pays more pushes you down.

How the mechanism works, and why it works here 7 of 7 blocks · the schema

Every project is taken apart with the same seven questions, each borrowed from a standard analysis tool, so you can compare this one with any other on the board. The funnel numbers come from the daily snapshots, not from the creator.

What is exchanged

Value Proposition Canvas

The buyer gets the only outgoing link on the page for as long as they hold it, and a permanent, still clickable place in the ownership history. One owner paid $100 and got 1,292 clicks in about 20 hours, roughly eight cents a click.

2

How the price forms

Pricing mechanism analysis

The current price plus one dollar, in $5 steps up to $100. The chain of buyers sets the price; after a week it stood at $112.

3

Supply and scarcity

Scarcity and inventory analysis

One slot, resold endlessly: 31 owners in the first week, the shortest hold 59 seconds.

4

Growth loop

Viral loop analysis

Losing the link is instant and public, and the history page keeps every loser visible. 136,488 visitors and 12,060 clicks delivered in a week.

5

Defensibility

Moat and clone analysis

None in the code. Being the first single-link page is the only advantage, and $2,323 in total shows how small the game is.

6

What can kill it

Failure mode analysis

Interest fading with the rest of the wave, the price creeping past what a click is worth, and one link being one point of failure if a buyer points it somewhere unpleasant.

7

Why it works here

Editorial verdict

Rare in this list: the buyer gets something measurable. Eight cents a click competes with paid ads, which is why the link kept changing hands.
