Remember milliondollarhompegae.com? Companies purchased a number of pixels to display their ads on the website and the inventor made over a million.

Implications - Although the Web is now the place to advertise for companies, they haven't forgotten about billboards. The fact is, not everyone stays on the computer, so when it comes to reaching the consumer when they're out of the home, the employment of traditional methods remains dominant.

It'll reach consumers on a local and worldwide basis, which is a win-win situation for any company.
