"Recently launched by a student at the University of Connecticut, The Million Dollar Wiki is similar to Wikipedia except for one aspect: every page costs $100. The goal of the founder, then, is to sell 10,000 pages to make a million dollars of his own."

Yawn.

I went to look. Lots of dos and don'ts (don't post spam or pornographic images, do put some actual content on your page) but precious little info about how the founder is going to drive traffic to his site. In other words, other than idle curiosity about a second-hand idea (a ripoff of the Million Dollar Home Page), why would anyone go look?

Yes, "Jewelry" is available. No, I didn't buy it. I'd rather spend $100 on AdWords.

$100 web hosting for 15 years (as advertised) is under $7 per year. That is less than 2 cents a day.

You're not guaranteed 15 years. "You own the page for the life of the site." He stops paying his ISP bill, poof!

But that's not the salient point. Million Dollar Wiki is like a strip mall in Pacoima. No one knows it's there. Who's going to read your page?

If anything, links on the pages would help the google page rank of linked pages.

I'd guess there will soon be similar sites charging a lot less than 100 bucks.
