Help Win My Bet

Every so often you see something on the web that both makes you squeal with glee at its sheer simplicity and green with envy at its achievements. Most webmasters (self included) crave traffic for their sites, as traffic means money. We jump through hoops, design, write brand new content, promote and still end up with pitiful traffic stats and the nagging wondering of 'is it worth the effort?'

Help Win My Bet throws all our hard work to the wind and shouts look at me! No design, little style, a lo-fi, sub-Maddox web page and in less than two weeks they've hit 2,200,000+ visits. Their premise is simple, if the owner of the site gets 2,000,000 hits his girlfreind will have a threesome with him and a. n. other. That's it - some explanatory text, a picture and a hit counter, simplicity in its finest minimal glory. We'll weep into our keyboards over the fact its probably also one of the biggest missed opportunities for earning web money on the planet (other than a crappy dating affiliate link). However, two million in less than two weeks from nothing, we have no choice but to salute you.
