Graham Langdon, a 21 year old student, started a project called The Million Dollar Wiki. The idea behind it is that he will sell Wikipedia style pages on this site for $100 each and, when all the pages are sold, he will have $1,000,000.00 for his efforts. But what do you get if you purchase a page?
When you purchase a page for $100 for the word that you want, you own that page for life. Just imagine taking the 1 keyword that is perfect for your website and owning it in this micro-economy. Anyone who browses the milliondollar wiki will come across your page and since you have full control over your page’s content you can not only link to all of your own sites, but also sell links to others. Not to mention Google ads, etc.
To think of it another way, look at it as an opportunity to purchase an ad on what has the potential to be a popular website for life at a very low cost. $100 is a drop in the bucket and this will be your page for life! And even if you grow tired of it, you can always resell it - potentially at a profit.
Of course there is a gamble. There is no way to know yet if the million dollar wiki is going to really take off big time. But I can tell you that some of the top pages on there already are seeing traffic in the 50K range so it’s definitely doing well for a recent startup. And the worst case scenario is that you are out $100 which is a low enough gamble to be worth it.
I won’t say just yet which page I purchased on Milliondollarwiki as I am still waiting for my confirmation for my page, but once I get it up and running, you’ll be the first to know!

I got one a couple months ago http://www.milliondollarwiki.com/Money_Making_Blog and I would say that the steady traffic will more than pay for itself by the end of the year. I have a $100 a month budget so this just made good sense to maximize my $100 for this month and on down the road.

Hey guys,
This is shameless promotion:
We just launched http://FiveDollarWiki.com where you can buy links for 5 bucks!
The only difference is money here, the content would be about the same.
This is top secret:
On the sidenote, we are working on our Top Secret, http://OneBuckWiki.com which we will launch in few days but don’t tell anyone yet. Shhhh….
We are also looking for couple people to build content. Basically we will hook you up with free pages and you have to put some good content right away.
