The website, launched in April, received overnight attention with little advertising. The idea behind the website is simple: Adams200.com ranks advertisers according to how much they have paid and displays the amount in US dollars right on the main page. “Someday, adams200 will become a viable homepage because there is a large population of internet users who browse until something catches their attention,” the webmaster, Adam Hanley, says. “Money, especially coming from big advertising budgets, is always interesting. I’ve made a game of it.” Adams200.com was founded by Adam Hanley, a soon-to-be college graduate, attempting to pay off his college loans. Following in the footsteps of young entrepreneurs like Alex Tew, Hanley has created a fast-loading homepage and a simple game, advertisers pay adams200.com to improve their ranking on adams200.com. In turn, adams200.com advertises how much money those advertisers, or “investors,” have spent at adams200.com. The website is also distributing images which display whoever is in the number one position, and how much they paid. The youthful attitude of the site is distinguishable in the rules section of adams200.com, which include “I reserve all rights to do whatever I like to this site” and “Purchasing a position on adams200 does not guarantee you will have control over that position forever.” Will this youthful stab at advertising budgets work? Only if the idea proves “interesting.” Contact information: Adam Hanley Phone: (206) 853-7547 Email: adam@adams200.com http://www.adams200.com
