American Copywriter perfectly sums up our feeling and, no doubt, the feelings of other who didn’t see the value in jumping on the Million Dollar Homepage wagon. American Copywriter wallows, “Why didn’t I think of it? Why why why?” we’re in touch with that emotion.

Great Britain college student Alex Tew, creator of Million Dollar Homepage, has brought in $623,800 in ad revenue from selling various pixel-sized ads on MillionDollarHomepage and will, likely, reach his goal of one million dollars. Ashamedly, Tew a couple months ago, sent us a link to his page and we scoffed it off as just another Internet prank. Well, with egg on our face, we bow to the feet of the Million Dollar Homepage master and apologize profusely for not publicizing his effort way back when.

American Copywriter lists five psychological stages of dealing with Million Dollar Homepage psychosis from denial to resentment to rationalization to depression to, well, blogging about it. Tew is the man and he’s even made all the way to the pages of the Wall Street Journal.
