This is a really cool concept. Very similar to the million dollar homepage, and Alex’s new venture Pixelotto, but thats where the similarity ends. Bla.st is a genius concept, that allows people to bid for positioning for “cards” measuring 270×165px being displayed on the homepage for various keywords. I.e.: your card ranking #1 on the term “SEO” will be different from it’s ranking for the term “PPC”, you bid in aggregate per image (similar to Google AdGroups). Another unique feature, is you are bidding on the total life of your ad, so if you choose 365 days and add $0.10 cents per day in value it will cost a total of $36.50. So please don’t choose 2000 day ad period, or you will have to pay $25 USD to receive $0.01 cents of daily credit!
The system is awesome, and I really think this company/technology will be acquired by a Big boy publisher soon. The technology and concept makes Flickr and others look monetarily antiquated. This is a revenue generating machine in my opinion, just brilliant!
Go to Bla.st and create your own Card and get seen today!
