10 Banners

The experiment starts at the bottom. Each banner unlocks only after the banner below it sells.

How It Works

There are only 10 banners.

No additional advertising positions will be added.

They sell in order.

Banner #2 cannot be purchased until Banner #1 has sold. Banner #3 cannot be purchased until Banner #2 has sold, and so on.

Every price is 10× higher.

The experiment begins at one cent and ends with a $10 million banner.

Every banner gets 10 years.

Each purchased banner receives advertising space on 10 Banners for ten years, subject to the site's advertising rules and terms.

The experiment ends at #10.

If the tenth banner sells, the ten advertisers will have paid a combined $11,111,111.11.

Advertising Rules

Keep your banner clear, honest, and suitable for a general audience.

Provide your banner and destination. Supply a banner image, a short text description, and the HTTPS address you want it to link to. Banners #1 to #4 use 468 × 60 pixels.
Only advertise content you have permission to use. You must have permission to use the images, logos, and text in your advertisement. Claims must be accurate, and the destination must match what the banner promotes.
Keep it suitable for everyone. No hateful, explicit, or violent content, scams, malware, or promotion of illegal activity. These rules apply to both the banner and the website it links to.
Only high-quality advertisements are accepted. Every banner and destination website is carefully reviewed. We select only high-quality advertisements that meet our standards and reserve the right to refuse any banner. Keep the linked website compliant throughout the advertising period.
Linked websites must continue to meet our standards. We reserve the right to edit or remove any banner, including one previously accepted, if its linked page or website no longer exists or its content changes and no longer meets our advertising standards. This includes changes that introduce unsuitable or illegal content.
Refunds if we remove your banner. In the unlikely event that we remove your compliant banner, we will give you a refund on a pro rata basis for the unused portion of your advertising period.
Your space lasts ten years. Each purchased banner receives ten years of advertising space from publication. The purchase covers placement. Visitor numbers, clicks and sales are not guaranteed.
