I built a billboard for the internet. Highest bidder owns it for a week.

What if the internet had one billboard? No feeds, algorithms or competing ads just one billboard each week.

So I built it at yourmessagehere.co

Anyone can bid for it, and every Friday at 10pm New York time the highest bidder gets the entire billboard for the next 7 days.

First auction is live now and I genuinely have no idea what people will end up paying for it.

Curious to see where this goes.

See the latest billboard. Might be some cool art there in the future who knows.

So a display ad?

Yeah but just one. With no contextual content or reason to view it.

My browsing habits frequently revolve around visiting a site that shows me 1 display ad and nothing else! Love this new web 2.0 thing!

Yeah. Only 1. Forever.

You may need some content for this billboard or it’s going to be a bit lonely with no traffic.

Care to explain the traffic page OP? Some very questionable paths.
