Buy pixels. Stay until you get outbid.

Four steps from grid to live

The whole flow takes under a minute.

1. 01

   Choose your pixels

   Pick any rectangle on the 100×100 grid. Minimum 1 grid unit (10×10 pixels). Maximum 100×100 — the whole homepage.

2. 02

   Pay $1 per pixel

   1 grid unit = 100 pixels = $100. Payment is processed by Stripe. The block is yours the moment payment clears.

3. 03

   Upload image & URL

   One image and one destination URL per block. Human moderation checks every submission for impersonation, malware, and prohibited content.

4. 04

   Go live with rel=sponsored

   Your advert goes live on the homepage. Links use rel="sponsored" in line with search-engine guidelines — buying pixels gives exposure and traffic, not SEO link equity.

The 5% rule, in motion

Anyone can take your block — but only by paying 5% more than you did. Your previous spend stays credited, so reclaiming costs less than the full price. The cycle can repeat indefinitely.

The headline rules

Full rules are on the Rules page. The six below are the ones that change what a buyer does.

• Minimum purchase

  1 grid unit (10×10 pixels) at $100. Max 100×100 grid units ($1,000,000) — the whole homepage.

• Initial pixel pricing

  $1 per pixel, $100 per grid unit. Stripe handles payment.

• 5% outbid requirement

  To take an occupied block, the new bid must be at least 5% higher than the current holder's total. One rule, no secondary fixed-dollar increments.

• Previous spend credit

  If you previously owned the block, that spend stays credited against any reclaim attempt. You only pay the gap — not the full price.

• Advertising rules

  No impersonation, no malware, no prohibited content. Human moderation reviews every submission. Suspicious or dangerous content is removed without refund for exposure already received.

• rel="sponsored" links

  Buying pixels provides advertising exposure and traffic — not SEO link equity. Links are tagged rel="sponsored" in line with search-engine guidelines.
