Great Pixel Hunt

Great Pixel Hunt www.greatPixelHunt.com - Players view locally-sponsored websites for a chance to win the jackpot, and sponsors fund the jackpot for local-player views.

For Players:
It is all about the Great Pixel. If you find it, you win. It is that simple! For example, if Pete was a player, here's how it would work:

1) Pete clicks pixel (34, 129) on the treasure field at www.greatPixelHunt.com. A it just so happens, this is the Great Pixel for that sweepstakes!
2) The sponsored site loads. Let's say it is Facebook.
3) Pete browses Facebook for 15 seconds.
4)

After 15 seconds, a message appears saying that he has found the Great Pixel and that he has won the jackpot!
5) Pete continues browsing Facebook for 7 minutes, and then finally sees that he won!
6) Pete shouts "Hurray!"
7) Pete confirms to us that he is Pete.
8) We send Pete a check for the jackpot amount.

---------------------------------------------------------

For Sponsors:
It is all about the players. You get 15 seconds of a local player's time for 5 cents. I say "local" because you can choose who sees your ad down to the player's state, county, city, and even zip code. You can craft a site where users will get the information that you want to share in 15 seconds, and then choose who you want to show it to.

---------------------------------------------------------

For Potential Sponsors:
If you could pay $100 to have 15 seconds of attention from 2,000 people in your area, would you do it? If so, we'd be happy if you used us as a way to reach out to people! Check us out at www.greatPixelHunt.com, where you can add and manage your own advertisements using our custom ad-builder!

---------------------------------------------------------

For GPH, it is all about bringing players and sponsors together and making them happy!

Hello GP Hunters,

I regret to inform you that the Great Pixel Hunt will be down this week. We had to move our servers to a new location over the weekend, but unfortunately the internet service install that was scheduled for last Monday will not happen until this Friday.

Introducing The Milner Pixel!

The Milner Pixel will be the 1,000th pixel tried on www.greatPixelHunt.com Whoever finds it will get the fame and notoriety of being the first person in the world to find the Milner Pixel! As if that weren't enough, the winner will also get $10, and maybe we can even set up a meet and greet with the Milner himself...woot woot!

A bit about the Milner Pixel: This pixel is named in honor of Matt Miller, who is quite a cool dood! At my first programming job, it was Matt who got me up to speed and introduced me to the joys of AJAX. Also, Matt helped beta test a few issues these first couple weeks, and he jokingly asked if beta testers get honorary pixels. Jokes aside it was a splendid idea, and so...BOOM! MILNER PIXEL!

Good luck and Happy Hunting!

Milner's apprentice,
Brian

I put out a fix last night for the following issues:

Some users were seeing a blank treasure field due to the AdBlock plugin blocking it. That is now fixed.

Firefox users were not able to play for cash. That is now fixed as well.

Please visit www.greatPixelHunt.com and please let me know if it doesn't go swimmingly!

With best regards,
Brian


P.S. The Firefox issue was because my SSL certs for the site were not chained in a way Firefox liked. The AdBlock issue was because AdBlock blocks anything with the name "advertisement" and many synonyms. On a site like GPH where local ads are the way you play, that just will not do!

P.P.S. I'm thinking of introducing a for Matt Miller being such a helpful beta tester.

What a day to ! , you look beautiful and I want to visit you soon, but I'm rooting for my hometown on this one.

Have you played the today?

Each entry gives you a free 1/10,000 shot at winning over $100, and you can enter multiple times every day!

Play now for free!
1) Go to www.greatPixelHunt.com
2) Choose your mode of play
3) Click on the Treasure Field to select the pixel you want to try
4) Browse the sponsored site for 15 seconds while our automated robots dogs sniff out the pixel for you
5) If the pixel you chose was the Great Pixel, you win!!!

06/09/2014

Fact 2: Every time someone enters, the jackpot grows.

Details: 70% of entry-revenue goes to the jackpot fund, or about 3.5 cents/entry.

At 15 seconds/entry, that works out to about $8.40/hour: Higher than the minimum wage in all but 4 states!

Coincidence? I think not. We value people's time.

Love,
