Buy your Way to the TOP

The first experiment is revealed! Ma ha!

www.buyyourwaytothetop.com 

Buy your Way to the Top is an experiment and study into site marketing, traffic generation and the innate human desire to WIN! Anyone interested in using the site either as an advertising opportunity or to massage their ego is invited to bid on our daily eBay auctions for the Top Slot. Casual visitors are invited back to the site daily to see just how much someone was / is willing to pay to get to the top of the site!

 It is a legitimate commercial opportunity where the user-generated (although paid for) content, along with how much they were willing to pay to get there, provides the curiosity to keep people coming back. That’s the theory anyway! That word experiment gives a wave from the corner again.

Social Experimentation

For a while now I have been wondering just what use I can put my web site making skills to work on. When learning web technology such as ASP, ASP.net, flash, search Engine Optimisation etc, I can’t help but feel the potential of these tools teasing me to put them to use on interesting and fingers crossed wealth-building personal projects!

I have dabbled in the past, what with little offshoots such as The PC Help Centre, and the creation of the streaming video and associated content management and deployment web system for www.bannedtv.co.uk, both as personal interest projects, but there’s a desire in me to build something greater. Not something necessarily overly-technical but something that will capture the minds and possibly hearts of thousands of people, something that will satisfy my own yearning to create and discover.

I am going to start a new venture, one from which various projects will spawn. These projects will be a series of social experiments, attempting to advance the understanding of Internet user behaviour, marketing techniques and copywriting,  both for myself and any who cares to follow my work! The ultimate aim is to gain an understanding of what makes people tick when it comes to influences on the Internet; what they like and what they avoid, how to get the message out and how to build interest, and how to convey my own enthusiasm about the projects to emotionally invest people in them.

More on this later, because now, I am preparing the first experiment.
