SponsoredOnline.com - Million Dollar Homepage Clone

Sponsored Online offers free advertising space for your eBay items. Both sellers and buyers are entitled to a my.MiniBay section in which they can freely advertise their eBay item. The concept is similar to the MillionDollarHomepage and offshoots such as Pixelotto. While users can post their items without paying a cent, there is space reserved for paid adverts. These billboard spots, dubbed million dollar sponsors and major sponsors are for eBay store owners and each incur an advertising charge. There are 136 spaces available, and each can have more than one sponsor. Each location costs $100, but that amount is upped by 25% with each new sponsor. Currently there aren’t any million dollar or platinum sponsors, but there are twelve items listed in the miniBay section.

“SponsoredOnline is an odd little concept that hopes to create the worlds biggest free eBay items billboard that, if successful, will hopefully make a little money in the process...
I mean, think about it - you list your eBay items here because
a) it's free, and
b) realistically you've got nothing to lose by doing so.
You then tell your friends about SponsoredOnline and bookmark it in your favorite bookmarking site, such as del.icio.us, Digg, Reddit, Google, Yahoo MyWeb! or Windows Live because it helps ensure more people see your eBay items.”

This gig’s been done, but not unsuccessfully. This will work if more users advertise their eBay items—it is after all, not such a shabby idea. eBay users get free marketing, while the husband and wife team behind Sponsored will get to pay off their mortgage.

Will this take off? Are people already weary of these million dollar projects?
