Ukranian trying to pull off a "Million Dollar Page" with a Map this time; Sells spaces worth USD 27,000
"The essence of the project is to create a map of the world, which is entirely for advertisements.
All profits of the project may be more than a million dollars. I have already earned more than 27,000 dollars selling territory on the world map," Vadim told us via an email. (the claim hasn't been confirmed in any other way)
2% of the map has been sold and most of this comes from the US and Ukraine. Parts of Europe have also been covered (97 territories in all). The price of each area depends on its actual size and is calculated on the assumption that a real 100 sq.km. area is worth $1.
Rather outlandish, campaigns like these click sometimes and the creators become a part of the history in the crazy books of the internet.
