Novelty Advertising Sites
Ever since… well, since the success of MillionDollarHomepage copycats have been flooding the web. Internet marketers have been attacking the idea from every angle and changing one thing at a time to try repeat it’s success.
Latest in the evolutionary line of novelty advertising buy-ins is RssHugger. Which I presume spawned from the guy who made WordHugger. PAYING for words on a site with no rank or traffic? obviously the novelty of it slowly attracts traffic, or with some novelty sites – quickly attracts.
And People like me slightly having a go at sites like this in posts will just get them more backlinks and traffic and a percentage of visitors will buy a word or an ad or whatever and this will slowly have an exponential exposure and financial effect. So sites like this really have nothing to lose.
I’m not really having a go at this site or others as they’re just as valid as the original given that they’re still just novelty advertising sites trying to make money. Then again MDH was something special. New and well timed. Big, big sites bought into that but I don’t think the creator walked away with anything near a million dollars due to advertising / exposure costs obviously.
Also, there’s a top 100 RSS feeds on that RssHugger site but… they’re just bought! they’re not actually the top 100 RSS feeds so I think it’s a bit manipulative to say they are…
So… given that we’ve all seen these novelty copycats or even just novelty newbies make money. Why don’t we all start pushing out the novelty. Make your own novelty site and see what happens 
Finally, incase you haven’t seen any…
A Few Copycats:
Thanks for the plug, but due to the fact that the popular vote says they do not want to pay $10, I am changing the business model to be completely free so long as you make a review (like this one) to join. If you want your own page (free), just register an account on rssHugger.com and let me know the email you used. The requirement of $10 can be waived because the mass blog posting will keep the site viral. With 175,000 new blogs coming out everyday, I can assume once the idea takes off that it will never become a novelty because there is always new blogs to spread the word. Only time shall tell though! -Collin
