http://bit.ly/n4sgMG Sugar Land, TX (PRWEB) April 6, 2006 It was mid March, seven months after Alex Tew’s Million Dollar Home Page creation, when the next big idea began to appear on the Internet. The game is different this time, but focuses strictly on innovative advertising. The idea of Take the Spot (http://ping.fm/NYK5A), imagined and created by Pratik Naik, began to be gain popularity all over the Internet. It has already been proclaimed as the next Million Dollar idea. Rightfully so, Take the Spot’s growth has already been staggering within the first ten days of opening. Receiving over thousands of hits and hundreds of dollars, the website is off to a phenomenal start.
The concept of the website is simple. To be a part of internet history, you can pay to take the spot at any time; once the spot is taken you will keep the spot till someone pays to take it from you. After your place is taken, your link moves to the ‘previous owner’s list’ where it stays secure for the lifetime of the site. The spot holder merely represents the newest link in the group of links. As time proceeds, the price of the spot will keep increasing as there are only a certain amount of times the spot will turnover till it becomes locked forever, which one else knows except the creator. Once the spot closes, the website will form an interesting array of websites, which will form a time capsule.
We had the pleasure to interview Mr. Naik and asked him to tell us more about his inspiration for the creation of this idea, “I wanted to create a source of advertising that thought of the people first, and not only focusing on my personal gains. Sites that are simply made to copy the success of Alex Tew do not work because people know that it does not benefit the investor, but only the site owner and they are smart enough to see that. It was about time advertisers found a website that could first and foremost benefit them. I took examples of many successful business models along with popular websites and analyzed their success, I found a formula that not only worked, but enhanced it so that it would benefit the advertisers even more. I wanted to create the most cost effective way to advertise on the Internet, and this is what I have come up with. Most sites out there are only made for personal benefit, so I turned the focus around to you, the buyer/advertiser. With the mindset of an investor looking for the most cost effective solution, Take the Spot was made.”
With websites such as Take the Spot and Million Dollar Home Page, focused to help advertisers bring in more traffic while only spending a minimal amount, the future of creative advertising seems as though it has just begun. Some people believe it is just a fad, and others believe it is here to stay. As long as more people with innovative minds such as Alex Tew and Pratik Naik continue to develop their ideas, this trend in creative advertising will become the norm.
