Even Jane and Phil haven't learned of what I've been doing, so this will come as a surprise to them too.

I can tell you that PixelsAnyone.com has been singled out by some folks who are very interested in forming an international body which is working to establish standards for the pixel advertising industry. I have been asked to join as a founding member. Two of us are located within a few miles of each other, and a third person is in Europe. We're still looking to add a couple more people.

What's in it for you, the advertiser, or the visitor?

We're expecting to raise the bar. Right now there are some 4000 different sites out there. Some are excellent, others are pure garbage. One thing is for sure, there's a lot of interest in pixel advertising.

I can't really talk much about our tasks at hand, but can reveal that we'll be looking to establish some common terminology, as well as definitions and later standards regarding statistics disclosure. Eventually we hope to establish a certification process.

Pixel advertising is here to stay. The grids as you see them today are merely the first generation. Already scripts are available to incorporate pixel advertising into banners. Watch for additional traffic driving scripts including ways to deliver pixel advertising in a contextual manner. Down the line, you could even see pixel ads go wireless.

As an advertiser, does that open your market a bit more?

We're working right now in the "niche market" areas, developing a number of directories and guides to various sites. All this serves to drive more traffic to you, the advertiser. It will also make it much easier for you the customer to find the sites.

This year certainly looks incredibly promising.

Man, no sooner did Joe and Mable get a hold of this place than...

Kaplooie! Kazow! Bam!

Our server had a major meltdown... and of course that happened on the Thanksgiving holiday week-end.

Oh, and I've got to come clean... the hijacking really is a friendly one. You see, Joe and Mable are the alter-egos of Phil and Jane.

Joe and Mable actually have created their own site... gotta find a way to fly Mable to Paris before she drives us all batty.

Now, on to more important things. If you're an "Alexa Toolbar" owner, today marks a milestone of sorts... PixelsAnyone has crossed that magic 50K mark.

What does that mean? Well for us it means we're really getting some serious traffic. Depending upon exactly how you interpret the stats, we're being seen by 27 to 40 people out of every million Internet visitors who use IE. I don't personally put all our stock on Alexa as I know many of our visitors use FireFox. Maybe I can coax some stats out of Phil next month so y'all can see how it all relates.

Now, it's a long road to break 40K but with your help we can do it... maybe even before the New Year.

What you can do is tell all your friends about this incredible new way to advertise. After following and analyzing this method for the last 3 months, it's not a fad, it's a movement!

If there's one thing I know for sure... when it comes to movements, the best place to be is in front of the crowd. You can secure your spot right now while we still have awesome "above the fold" pixels available.

Don't have a graphic? No problem... we can take care of it for you... Shari (Phil's right hand pixel creator) will get the job done just as quickly as you purchase your spot... You'll get your special ad up in record time, even if I have to create your graphic.

Hello to all,

Finally... Jane, I mean Mable has let the cat out of the bag... well almost.

Y'all need to see if this makes any more sense to you than it does to that lush, the Irish announcer.

Personally, my imaginataion ran way too wild... but that's for a whole 'nother time.

Before you start this audio, remove any liquids from near your keyboard, and for sure... don't drink anything during the program!

Catch up with Mable here.

To see the page she's all in a tizzy over... check this out! Mon Nov 21, 2005 17:41:41 http://pixelsanyone.com/blog/index.php?id=24

Ok, the takeover is nearly complete. Jane has been allowed to speak about why it's so important to list with PixelsAnyone... you can catch her "hostage plea" right here.

Now, Joe has told me that y'all have until midnight (EST) Sunday night, and it WILL NEVER EVER RETURN!

Here's the deal...

Get your ad on the PixelsAnyone homepage and that same ad will be added to the new Joe and Mable page for free... That basically means Phil is giving up half his commission to Joe to help send Mable to Paris... Think the guy is getting desperate?

At any rate, it's one really sweet deal for you. The Joe and Mable site gets about 6000 visits a day already, and I'm working my butt off to get it triple that very shortly. Mable really want's to go to Paris, and she won't let up on us until she gets her way.

You can help all of us out by simply ordering your ad for the PixelsAnyone homepage. Now, if you check the stats, you'll notice that the larger ads attract more attention. Open your wallet, dust off your credit card... do whatever it takes to get the largest ad you can with the resources you have.

When you do the math, it's really simple...

This page is up for a minimum of 5 years. Every click you get LOWERS your clickthru cost. Look at it this way... even if you only get 2 clicks a day over the life of your ad... that is 3650 pure visitors to your site. Most of our advertisers are seeing well over 100 clicks a week, especially the ones with at least 600 pixels. At the lower click rate, that's about .16 per visitor... pretty cheap in my book.

Now, consider you're getting double exposure... that takes your potentia averagel cost per click to about .08 a visit... and you really can't beat that.

Grab your credit card or check your PayPal balance... order the largest ad you can afford and get double exposure!

Click here to place your ad... no image? No worry... we'll create one for you. Just leave the "upload image" blank.

Remember, this offer expires at midnight (EST) Sunday, Nov 13.

Left me home to take care of a few things, like spill the beans on the new site.

Ya' want a sneak preview?

Check this out... If you really hurry... and I mean like do it today... you'll get double exposure for your ad dollar.

Remember I told you that a really zany duo were about to kidnap Jane and Phil?

Well, it looks like they've gotten Jane's "car service" in on the act. At least that's the buzz I've heard.

You see, Jane and Phil just HAD to go to Philly for the "to-do" with Ken McArthur and buddies. Now Jane, ever-mindful of costs about choked on the price of airfare. We're talking over $800 for the two of them to go from NYC to Philly and back.

Jane, being a virtual life-long New Yorker has employed this thing called a "car service". It's a little like your own personal cab/limo. Sure beats owning a car in Manhattan. Believe me, I've driven there one time, and wouldn't repeat that trick.

Anyways, she found out the "car service" would deliver both Phil and her to Philly and home again for a fraction of the price, and about half the time. No airport security, etc.

Now, what she doesn't know is that the "car service" is in kahoots with that Irish dude from the Joe and Mable show. He's cooked up a neat way to hijack them and take over PixelsAnyone.

Jane and Phil are supposed to be home on Sunday night or Monday morning. Dum-ta-dum-dum...

Grab your ad right here. It has to be on the front page... that's a minimum of $100 ad. It's guraranteed up for 5 years or more, and you'll get equal billling on a new secret page that Joe and Mable have created.

Now, Joe and Mable are very well known around the 'net. They get over 6K visits a day to their site. You'll get a ton of exposure with this special!

Seems it has something to do with putting Phil into a slip and then having him thrown into the slammer. There's a 'roo involved too, but couldn't figure all that out. I couldn't figure it all out.

You can listen to them hatch the plan right here.

Anyways, Jane is still oblivious to the whole thing as she's cooking up a plot to kill Phil anyhow. Seems he's just gone bonkers giving away all kinds of secret advertising stuff, all leading up to the next launch of PixelsAnyone? "The Next Generation!"

If you've not been there yet, be sure to check out the next little step in the plan... transporting your pixel advertising to your viewer, rather than making your viewer come to you. Prettty slick, eh? Mon Oct 31, 2005 17:27:37 http://pixelsanyone.com/blog/index.php?id=21

Wow, getting knocked off line for nearly a week is certainly no fun! And here I thought it was Phil and Jane who were being captured and held hostage... but that's another story for another time.

I'm back and see that Phil and Jane still aren't aware of the plot against them... They're gleefully going about their ususal advertising business and moving PixelsAnyone? into their general advertising mix... something NO OTHER pixel page producer has or even can do.

I was checking out Alex's blog yesterday and he even says there is no "next generation" of his site.

Now, that's got us all jumping for joy! You see, we've read this all correctly. No one else in the pixel ad business is in it for anything more than the quick buck. What a sure way to fail. Oh sure, you make a little money, but how can you define success?

Some things you may not know about Phil and Jane...

• They own 45 different business sites, each with a built in advertising plan.
• Phil is a master copywriter.
• Jane is the "ultimate" deal maker.
• Together, they are joint venture partners extraordinaire.

It's Shari,
from a new location... and once again...

My partners have gone totally off the deep end... Mable's hallucintating... thinking she's some kind of "jingle writer", and Joe... well, let's just say he's trying his best to play along with Mable. Me? I think the announcer has the best idea...

Listen to these goofballs...

I can tell you one thing for sure... you'll want to grab the RSS/XML for this blog now... have it downloaded directly so you don't miss a trick... Joe and Mable doing a "takeover" and capturing Jane and Phil... this you gotta see!
