Who says you can't buy fame?
Are you a blogger for hire? Looking to con your way onto talk shows? Perhaps marginally raise your advertising rates? Well for a measly $15, you can give your career a much-needed jumpstart with Bloggings Most Wanted. In a scheme riffing (or ripping) off the Million Dollar Homepage, which sold 1 million pixels at $1 a piece, Bloggings Most Wanted offers up a 40-by-40-pixel square for every $15 you spend.
For your hard-earned money, your advert may not even be legible. The site has formatting issues, at least for Firefox users. Scrolling over the ad for the blog Day Job Nuker pops up a box with the brief description "I hate my job and am going to NUKE IT! If you hate your like I do then come watch me NUKE MY DAY JOB!" Unfortunately half of this riveting sentence is barely readable because the box is too small to contain the text.
Bloggings Most Wanted is the brainchild of Ryan Shamus, who "is just a kick-ass guy who is trying to blast his blog in to the highest realms of the blogosphere." He blogs about how to make money blogging. And he apparently just found his cash cow. His sell: "Are you a bad ass blogger? Want the world to know about it? Then scrape up a few dollars under your couch cushion and get your mug shot on Bloggings Most Wanted... be one of the lucky 625 bad ass bloggers to get your shot at fame (or infamy!)."
With a marketing force like this behind it, who wouldn't want to be featured on Bloggings Most Wanted? He's already managed to sell 35 squares, each with equally compelling pitches. If you want to join them, you'd best hurry up. There are only 590 slots left.
