Ok, now a pixel advertising site has advertised on TV. I thought this was just going to end. Surely Alex Tew is loving it. As it all gives more attention to the site he did.

These are the people. You can watch the adverts on the website.
Crazy.

Jeeze - HMV 6 boxes - Morrisons 10 boxes all at £100 per box (assuming they paid that) - this is madness...

It's quite a corporate site and my guess they've just got round to developing it after al the competer analysis, governess procedures etc - a year too late..

They will be hard selling on the phone, bit like just35, touch plc and others.

Exactly - although I'm sure some gullible fools will.

Advertising.... is advertising. Everyone should do it. Be where the traffic is.
Probably worth keeping an eye on....well half an eye.

Well I think it's a great idea,
TV advertising reaches thousands upon thousands of people, if I go there and buy a box whilst these ads are running imagine the hits my site will get!! I can't afford to do TV advertising, so this seems like a great way to jump on the TV ad bandwagon. Also I want that 1st prize BMW - It'll look great on my drive.

Oh purrrrleeeease
The phenomenon of discussing MDHP and how rubbish they are is bigger than the actual sites! Ha ha.
It was the blog which made Alex Tew's site a success. It was not the site itself, but the human story which got him into the papers (plus he did do a lot of work).
People look at his success and mistakenly believe it was the pixel site that made it so great, over looking the fact that it was his genuine story which got him so much traffic, attention and ultimately businesses on board who wanted to be part of that.
OK, for Alex Tew I might buy a pixel, but I'm not buying any wannabe copy-cat pixels even if they do appear on TV.
Content is king

Totally true - all others were just wannabee copy-cats but because of this they never got the story in the news so never got the traffic or sales. They just spammed a zillion forums.

Speaking of Alex Tew
He posted over on shell yesterday, he's looking for ideas to invest in.
