Absolutely. This site was inspired by a popular
pixel advertising site. I am only four years old right now and my
dad is helping me with building the site. I love to draw and due to
the high cost of college, my dad helped me put together this site
to help me start saving for college. Every dollar generated from this
site will be used exclusively for college purposes and taxes.

I am four years old and love to draw. Some of my
other interests currently include My Little Pony, princesses and horses.
My favorite color is pink and my favorite princess is Jasmine. Of
course I am too young to type and design web pages right now. I am
learning little bits currently and plan to take over my dad's role
in the upcoming years. For now though, I do the drawing on my dads
tablet computer and my dad puts the site together.

Each pixel is $0.25. However, if you were to purchase
a single pixel, you would not be able to see any sort of image. Also,
since a drawing is done for each sponsor, we decided the minimum size
of a sponsor is 20 pixels tall x 20 pixels wide. Just multiply the
length by the width to determine the total pixels. The minimum of
20x20= 400 pixels or $100.
You may purchase pixels in any size as long as the
length and width are in multiples of 20. For instance 20x60 is okay.
20x70 is not.
Below are a few sample sizes and their associated
cost.

All the money from the sale of my Art Pixels will
go into a savings account dedicated to my college fund. It is estimated
that by the time I am ready for college, tuition alone at a top-tier
university will be approximately $50,000 annually or about $200,000
for a four year education. A good state university will still be approximately
$80,000 for four years. Every dollar made from this site will go towards
my college education so not only do you get valuable advertising exposure
and multiple 10 year links, but you can also feel good that you are
helping a person save towards their college education.

Our site is a little different than other pixel
advertising sites. Some of the benefits include:
- You receive valuable links to your site
from multiple areas including our home page, the "View Art
Collage" page and the "View Sponsor List" page
- Each sponsor gets a custom drawn picture
from Ella that is displayed as part of the collage. This
adds a level of interactivity for visitors as they check out various
drawings. The default image on the home page shows the Sponsor image
and when moused over shows the artwork.
- Getting your site indexed by major search engines
can take months. Having a link from our already indexed site can
get you listed quicker as search engine spiders
crawl our site and follow the links to your site.
- The site will continue to gain in popularity
especially as people check back to view the art collage. We guarantee
that we will keep the site up for 10 years so your
links will continue to be listed that entire time.
- You are doing a good deed and
helping me save for college :)
