Not just working, I'm quite sure they keep gathering traffic just as a curiosity. The site works on phones, though differently. And the site's team gave technical talks on how they maintain that madness.

Nice blast from the past! I remember this one. I believe the founder tried to create a follow-up called Pixelotto. By the time it was released, the novelty of the Million Dollar Homepage may have run its course.

The founder is Alex Tew and he cofounded the Calm meditation app which has almost certainly eclipsed Million Dollar Homepage for eyeballs/world impact!

There were a lot of copycats as well.

Not many links are working now.

Also so much poker and online casino ads! I was almost disappointed that there wasn't porn.
