I know there are many sites out there that have a similar setup where you pay a set amount of money for a given number of pixels on a web page and get to put whatever you want in that space. Even though this idea has been done several times before, there are two such projects currently underway that I would like to take the opportunity to inform you of.

With both of the versions of this that I am mentioning, the biggest attention-getter for the the promotion is that people who purchase pixels will be entered into a chance to win some cash.

Of the two of these, the one that I came across first is “The $10K Giveaway” where the winner will receive $10,000. One cool part about this is that Bryan from One Man’s Goal will be personally delivering the $10,000 check to the winner. All of the details are available on Bryan’s website.

The second one was just officially announced by EnkayBlog this morning via a timestamped post. Fortunately, I was one of the select few to get early access to “The Wall of Blogs” and got what I feel is a pretty good spot. Enkay is selling a bit larger pixel block (125×125) than most of the similar sites and at a pretty good price too! The money you can win is not as much, but the odds are better (1 in 320 chance of winning $500 and then 1 in 640 chance of winning $500) and you can increase your odds by purchasing more blocks.
