Questions:
What is the motivation?
The idea is to make some money by selling seats or lots in blocks of pixels for $1 each pixel along the wall street on the internet. Each seat looks like one or more parking lots along the street and it may contain a few blocks vertically on one side of the street. This website is built mainly to provide financial support for my little son's training and studies, for improvement of our life. To send him to learn how to play the piano, learn swimming, and practise Tiquando, etc. would put some pressures on our shoulders besides his daycare and our mortgage. But those are things we think we should do as parents. Working in a company as a standard employee is not enough to pay for all those expenses, though. My hope is to earn some additional cash to relieve our pressures on the expenses at the most.
Wall street is the financial center in the world. Having a building or seat on wall street is a sign of success for your company. But wall street is not a big street to accommodate many companies. Wall street on the internet provides an ideal place for many of those companies that expect to succeed or expect more successes in the current world. I hope this site will satisfy your needs.
So you are welcome to buy a few blocks of 10x10 pixels along the street and upload your image/logo to link to your website. The image you provide will be displayed permanently in the place you have purchased and link to the website you submited. The minimum unit you can purchase is ONE BLOCK (it looks like  in size) in 10x10 pixels because anything smaller than that would be too small to be noticed by anybody. There are two sides on the street. The blocks you buy will look like a parking lot on one side of the street and only one line on the same side of the street is allowed. This will make the link of your fancy image more noticeable because no other images will be sitting behind your image on the same side of the street. The more fancier and bigger image you provide the more outstanding your image (thus the link to your website) will be. But most importantly no obscene or offensive images are allowed. You can also provide a short title for your image so that the introduction to your website may be easily seen by the visitors when they browse the images on the street, thus your website may get more hits. In addition, images or links to the websites on the homepage will be categorized into a few industries, which increases the possibilities of your website being visited by more people. This could be viewed by clicking View By Industry on the navigation bar.
You can buy as many blocks of pixels as you like to make the image linked to your website more noticeable as long as there are some left. You can find how many blocks are left from the top right corner of the home page.
Those images provided will be displayed on the homepage permanently and will be online for at least three years (or more if possible) using the money I make from the site. Your website will be sitting on wall street on the internet and bring you more successes in the long run I hope.

Is it worth advertising my website on this site?
Certainly. I believe that everybody wants to succeed. People all know that companies on wall street have made a lot of fortune, but Wall Street is too small to accommodate more companies. Wall Street on the internet is probably a good place for all companies, visitors as well as your business because no space restrictions on it exist. Owning a place there may potentially bring millions of new customers to your website over the coming years, which may eventually bring to you more than you wanted.
Owning a place on Wall Street On The Internet may be equivalent to owning a place on Wall Street to a certain extent.

Where did the idea stem from?
I've been thinking of how to make more money since my son was born and I had to pay for daycare. There may be many ways you can try to make money, but as a regular employee I have to work at daytime. This limits the space where I can work offhour. The time is a problem since I have to take care of my baby, anyway. So my plan to try to make more money besides the regular salary was hard to carry out.
One day somebody told me that selling pixels on the internet may be a good way to try to make money. Then I began to think about it. For a long time I am interested in finding a job on Wall Street. But it is far away and being a commuter is hard to endure once I settle down in another place and have a kid. Then I think that Wall Street is a famous place because so many famous companies are located there. Many other companies that want to be known by more people may want to move there as well. But Wall Street is not a big street. Why not build a Wall Street on the internet to sell places to those companies that want to succeed.
Then I began to build this site.

How do you spend the money?
You may get some answers from the question What is the motivation?. First of all I will pay for my son's daycare which is about $1000 per month. Then I will send him to learn how to play the piano, learn swimming, and practice Tiquando, etc. over the coming years, providing good training and education to him. This is our hope.
Then you can guess that I will have to pay for our housing expenses that are certainly huge burdens to us. I hope the money can relieve our pressures in life.
After that I hope I can do something I am really interested in, like travelling and investing. This is my dream.

Why should I buy a few blocks?
This way you can own a place on wall street on the internet that will link to you website. This could potentially bring millions of visitors to your website in the future if you provide a more meaningful image for the space you have purchased. Also I will keep this site for at least 3 years, or more if possible. In the future my effort will be put on providing more interesting stuff on this site that may attract more people in the world to visit this site. Finally owning a space on Wall Street on the internet may provide you with a chance to succeed.

Is it possible to buy a smaller block less than 10x10 pixels?
If it is possible it would be worthy of buying a single pixel. However in practice, it would be hard for any visitors to see or click a single dot on the street. To display a meaningful and noticeable image needs a certain size of space. Too small space won't allow you to display your image clearly. So it is not worth buying a single pixel for individuals. The minimum unit you could buy is a 10x10 block which costs you $100. I believe that businesspeople would prefer to buy a certain size of space on the street for their ads/images/logos to link to their websites.

How long will my advertising image be kept online?
I will keep this site for at least 3 years or more. But my goal is to keep this site for more time. I like this site. I will be trying to put more new stuff on this site over the coming years, which may appeal to more people. I have been thinking about what kind of things I could do to make this site more popular and more appealing so that people who have visited this site want to come back. This will potentially increase the chance of your site being visited by more people. In the long run all those websites displayed on the home page will become a new list of successes in the history, I hope.
