Welcome to Pixel Piping.com

Pixel Piping goes live Wednesday 10 April 2008

Allow us to introduce ourselves, we are the unique and Worlds first piping supplies pixel advertising web site that provides the unique opportunity to own a piece of Internet real estate for businesses and associations involved in bagpiping and highland supplies.  

 

PixelPiping.com is a web page that utilizes the pixel advertising phenomena that was initially successfully introduced by a British student called Alex Tews.  Alex created a highly successful website called the ‘Million dollar homepage’ where pixels on his site were sold to businesses that wanted to advertise their own websites.  Once an area of pixels was selected and purchased, a company logo was uploaded to the site and when clicked would direct internet consumers to the site being advertised.  Alex completely filled his webpage in less than 6 months and those advertising through his site have claimed some incredible success in their sales.  Many, many companies and businesses invested in using Alex’s site to advertise and many also benefited from an increase in sales and revenue that the Million dollar homepage generated for them. Interested?  Read on….

 

It is a well known fact that internet retail is a massive industry that allows any company, business or service provider the opportunity to trade to and from any country throughout the whole World.  In order to succeed in this industry it is necessary to advertise you and your product effectively, ensuring that you target the right audience in order to generate interest and therefore sales.  Advertising can be expensive and to advertise through the internet alone using ‘tower’ or ‘banner’ adverts can cost the retailer anything from about £20 to £50 per calendar month, £240 to £600 per year, £720 to £1800 every 3 years.  If you decide to advertise through more than one search engine (i.e. Google, Yahoo etc…) then this fee can double and even triple.  For small businesses that are striving to succeed and compete in an ever growing industry, these costs can be quite a concern and may not be feasible for them.  That is why we are sending this information to you to so that you are aware of the unique opportunity that exists to advertise on PixelPiping.com and for a one off payment you can have your company logo/link advertised on a site that will be embedded in over 1,000 (yes one thousand!) search engines a site that will be well marketed in the bagpiping and highland supplies industry and a site that will last for a minimum of 3 years. 

 

From a consumers point of view we understand the frustration of typing the word ‘Bagpipes, Pipe band Supplies’ or ‘Kilt’ into a search engine and getting pages upon pages of results.  Not only is this confusing but it can be a painstaking task in finding what you are looking for. 

 

The figures below illustrate how many search results were found for the keywords listed.  Where is your site/company 1st page? 10th, 20th ?

From a retailers point of view it can be difficult to get your site listed on the first page of results and to get the necessary exposure for your product to be seen.  It is a well know fact that the majority of internet consumers will take their custom off the first, second or third page of search engine results.  If your site is low on the search results then it is naturally going to be low on the amount of internet based visitors it receives.  The obvious problem here is that you as a business miss out on custom which is not good and can be counter productive in the success of a good business.  Do you know that over 100,000,000 people every day in Europe alone use search engines to find the product/site that they are looking for?  With this in mind PixelPiping.com has been developed to allow piping related businesses the opportunity to own a piece of internet real estate for a one off payment for a minimum period of 3 years.  We will take care of marketing our site to ensure that it appears in all of the top search engines and we will promote its existence for the benefit of the retailer and consumer alike.  When a consumer visits PixelPiping.com, a single site, they will find a variety of piping supplies and highland dress outfitters available that are all accessible from one site.  There is a strong chance of that customer returning regularly when looking for further piping related supplies as it is will prove easier than searching through pages and pages of search engine results.  The more the consumer visits, the more chances exist for your internet customer base to increase and for your business to grow.
