1. What is the idea?

The idea is simple. This one web site becomes your doorway in your state for customers to find and link to your web site. Your space is guaranteed and you’ll never have to resubmit your URL to keep on top of the search engine rankings or submit to a web directory ever again!

So, everyone is welcome to buy pixels, which are available in a minimum of 100-pixel 'blocks' (each measuring 10x10 pixels). The reason for selling them in 100-pixel blocks is because anything smaller would be too small to display anything meaningful.

You can buy as many pixels as you like, as long as there are some available (see the live stats in the top right corner of the page). When you buy some pixels, you can then display an image/ad/logo of your choice in the space you have purchased. You can also have the image click through to your own website.

However, no obscene or offensive images are allowed.

The pixels you buy will be displayed on the homepage permanently. The web site will not change. The site will be online for at least 5 years, and you will have the option to renew at that time. So, in the long run, the space you purchase will offer good return on your investment. You will have your web site link on this page for only a small one-time charge and never have to resubmit your listing again!



2. Who are you?

Our marketing company has been established for the primary purpose of ending the current search engine submission and the site ranking game that drains business of time and money on a continuous basis. We were frustrated with this endless process that would not guarantee our company top site search engine rankings. We were also tired of submitting our information to an endless number of web directories that didn’t produce hits to our web page.

The solution was simple. Create a web site that receives millions of hits that have the company images and live links in a very user-friendly format.

Thus the development of the TopTennesseeWebsites.com.



3. Are you genuine/is this a joke?

This idea came from the frustration of the current web format of submitting our URL to numerous search engines and web directories. By not having to continuously resubmit our data for rankings allows us to spend our resources much more efficiently and as our results have shown with a far greater return on our investment.

This is no joke. This is a great way of getting our Web Page hits in a very cost effective manner. There is room for large and small businesses, organizations, events, individuals and just about any type of web site that are competing for web site exposure and the opportunity to increase their awareness.

This web page opens the door for so many organizations, companies, individuals and non-profit groups to compete in the World Wide Web.



4. How did you come up with the idea?

We were very frustrated with the current web system that produced very low return on our investment. Unless we were listed in the most popular directories and search engine top 100 ranks for a particular key word we were spending dollars that were not producing a return.

We sat down and found out we weren’t they only ones experiencing this. The lengthy discussions and development meetings created this format. Now we aren’t going to be buried on the 120th page of a search engine. We can be found right on the 1st page every time!

It was so simple. We paid a one-time very, small price for the size of ad we wanted and that was it. The more other companies experienced what we were experiencing and discovered this new format of getting our web site hits, the more pixel ad space sold which resulted in views this web site received.

The idea is to create a web page that is unique and permanent.



5. Why should I buy your pixels?

Because you will have an image and a link to your site on the homepage of a site that could potentially be seen by millions of people over the coming years.

Your ad space on this web site will be online for a minimum of 5 years, that's guaranteed, but the idea is to keep it online forever. You will receive a notice to renew your space every 5 years. If you choose to renew your ad space will remain for as long as you wish to continue. If you wish to discontinue your space will be made available for someone else.

So you really could own an advertising space for the lowest possible price forever! Talk about low cost advertising expense that really gets a fantastic return on your investment. There is nothing, at this time that does it better.



6. Why can't I buy one single pixel?

The reason is because you can't display anything meaningful in one pixel - nor click it easily - so visually, it would be pointless.

The site would appeal more to people with businesses/websites to advertise than it would to individuals, or to put it more accurately, businesses would pay more to have a meaningful graphic on the homepage. Hence the minimum purchase is - a 10x10 block.

However, if you really want to own a single pixel, there is always the option of clubbing together with your friends/family/colleagues and buying a 10x10 block.



7. How long will the site be online?

The site will be online for minimum of 5 years guaranteed; however the aim is to keep the site online forever. Your ad space is good for five continuous years. At the end of the 5 years you will receive a notice to renew your ad space. At this time you will have the first right or refusal to renew your space.

If you wish to continue simply contact us within 30 days and your space will be reserved. If you wish to discontinue simply let us know and you space will be sold to someone else. It’s very easy.

No contracts. No Hassle. Nothing Games. Nothing Hidden.

The idea is to create a web page that is unique and permanent.


8. Can I put a count of your pixel sales on my site/blog?

Certainly! The code is:

<a href="http://www.toptennesseewebsites.com" title="Top Tennessee Websites"><
img src="http://www.toptennesseewebsites.com/banner.php"
alt="Top Tennessee Websites progress report" width="495"
height="45"></a>

This will display as:

The graphic will be updated automatically every time pixels are added to the site!

Terms and Conditions

The minimum purchase is 100 pixels, 10 Pixels High by 10 Pixels Wide, and the maximum purchase is whatever is left.

When you 'buy' pixels you will not 'own' any part of the homepage or this site, but rather you are granted the right to submit an image and link which will then be published on the homepage in the respective space you have paid for

You cannot change the image or link once you have submitted them, so you must be sure of the image & link you want on the homepage, which will be there for at least 5 years. The only exception is if you have a strong reason why you need a change to your image/link, ie. your site no longer exists, major structural change to your site, lawsuits, etc.

If your image and link are accepted and published on the homepage, you cannot get a refund.

The site and homepage will be online for at least 5 years (starting from the day it launched), so at least until 31st January 2011. At that time you can renew your place for an additional 5 years.

No obscene/offensive/adult images/links will be accepted, and we decide what is appropriate for this site. If you submit an image or link that is rejected, you will have the opportunity to provide an alternative, otherwise your money will be refunded and you will lose your pixels.

If your link is accepted and you later change the content of the linked site to show offensive/obscene/adult material then your link will be removed until you provide a new one, and you will not get a refund of any kind for the link downtime.

If for whatever reason in the future you want your image and link removed from the homepage, you can do that, but you will not get a refund and the space will become available for resale.

Images must be the exact size you have paid for (ie. 100 pixels = 10x10 pixels)

Images must be in GIF or JPEG format, and a reasonable file size.

Images must NOT be animated.

Links must be to web pages only and begin with http://

You must have the authority to provide the image and link for the website you submit.

Funds must be fully received and cleared before your pixels go live on the homepage.

There might be occasional downtime for site maintenance but every effort will be made to keep these to a minimum.
