Curious Eyeballs Generate $1 Million in 30 Days
Curiosity is a powerful motivator and one website is testing the limits of people’s need to know.
(PRWEB) May 2, 2006 -- An email from a friend or something interesting in the news and you just have to check it out. Curiosity is a powerful motivator and one website is testing the limits of people’s need to know.
“People are naturally curious, they want to see what’s going on,” says Jeff Barker, owner of www.zooadoo.com. His goal is to make $1 million in 30 days from selling ad space.
While selling ad space online is nothing new, at this site the advertiser can decide on the size and shape of their ad and upload just about any content they want to.
Many sites provide content and then surround it with advertising, but some marketers are using advertising as stand alone content “Just because it’s an ad doesn’t mean it can’t be interesting, informative and entertaining, it’s all in the way it’s presented” says Barker “it’s not that people dislike advertising, they just dislike the way it’s forced upon them.
"At our site the advertising is the content and we attract visitors by adding a curiosity factor,” Barker said.
Barker’s banking on people’s curiosity to go to the site and keep coming back everyday to see what happens while advertisers benefit from the traffic.
So can it be done, a million dollars in 30 days.
One’s thing for sure, with this website, time will definitely tell.
