Talk:Pixel advertising

jamie, if you don't want the link, fine, but please be polite about it. "Spammer" is not a particularly polite term, and please read before removing the content, which was relevant. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.149.205.186 (talk • contribs)
 * Reponse Other than that one sentence, all of your only contributions thus far have been commercial links. A few whois searches reveal that all of those domains are registered to the same individual in NJ. Wikipedia calls that spamming.  OhNo itsJamie Talk 01:33, 7 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Hi there, I added some more info to the stub and I plan to come back with a more detailed study on pixel ads (it's not finished yet). Please let me know if you believe the objectivity of the text I added is up to Wikipedia's standards. Thanks, Michael


 * Comment Unfortunately, most of the new addition consists of unsourced assertions and a link to a commercial site. Though the link is labeled as a "reference," the content doesn't provide any evidence backing up the assertions that I can see.  OhNo  itsJamie Talk 18:23, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

I think this concept (and the example described) has received ample media attention to establish notability. I've added a an addition reference to the article from the Wall Street Journal that specifically uses the term "pixel advertising." OhNo itsJamie Talk 04:53, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
 * It's not clear to me that this is really coining a term though - just because one mainstream publication uses a couple of words to describe something doesn't mean that those words from a notable enough phrase to have its own article. It's also not clear that "charging according to number of pixels" is a concept notable enough to be considered distinct from web advertising in general. The only thing that's notable is the million dollar homepage, which we already have an article for.
 * It's also unclear that the million dollar homepage "started it all" - surely it must have been not uncommon for web adverts to have been sold based on area. Mdwh (talk) 01:29, 11 September 2008 (UTC)
