One of the fastest growing types of websites found on the web today is probably the Word Cloud websites. Go ahead and do a Google search on word cloud websites and see for yourselves.

You may ask what exactly these word cloud websites are. These websites are simply a webpage filled with words linking to different URL all over the net. These hyperlinked words are actually advertisement links sold to individual customers who wish to advertise their websites on the word cloud website. One Variation or example of such a website is http://www.GreatMoneyMakingInfoProducts.com

Here’s a brief history on these word cloud sites. Some of you might remember the Pixel Ad Craze from 2005. Yes, it’s the “Million Dollar Homepage” we are talking about. The owner of the Million Dollar Homepage sold little pixels for a good price. Guess what? The owner of the Million Dollar Homepage raked in a million dollar just by doing this. Since then, a lot of similar website begins to spawn after the pixel ad craze.

There are always these things that are so different and catch up like a craze and then everyone starts to copy them coming up with their own versions of an idea and trying to cash out of it . First there was a craze of pixel advertising which was invented by a student in UK . And see the impact it had on the online websites that came up with the same kind of pixels . t has also helped to create other types of advertising. Without this very simple version of advertising, word cloud pages, such as 500words.com, wouldn't exist. They would be creating other forms of advertising online. It is creating a different type of advertising that will continue to grow online.
