0StatesForSale.com was launched with a simple premise: pay a minimum of $5 for your very own state on the 50StatesForSale site (http://www.50statesforsale.com), and use that state to advertise a web site or online business for a full two years. Since then the 50StatesForSale site has attracted many potential customers and its fair share of curious onlookers - 4 out of the available 50 states have been sold, while more sales were in the pipeline at the time of this release.
London, UK August 04, 2006 -- Two weeks ago, on July 21, 2006, 50StatesForSale.com was launched with a simple premise: pay a minimum of $5 for your very own state on the 50StatesForSale
site (http://www.50statesforsale.com), and use that state to advertise a web site or online business for a full two years. Since then the
50StatesForSale site has attracted many potential customers and its fair share of curious onlookers - 4 out of the available 50 states have been sold, while more sales were in the
pipeline at the time of this release.
50StatesForSale is an innovative and novel advertising idea. On the service's8217;s homepage, the 50 federal states making up the United States of America serve as 50 distinct virtual
advertising spaces. The selling price of a state is determined by the size of it: each virtual square kilometer costs US$0.002, such that a medium-sized state such as New York, which has
122,283 sq km, is being sold for a price of US$245 (rounded to the nearest one dollar amount).
's8220;The rationale behind the correlation between size of a state and its price is clear: The larger the state the more visible an advertisement will be,'s8221; says Steffen Hilgemann,
creator of 50StatesForSale.com.
50StatesForSale has a strong and promising future. The site has not yet reached its 3rd week of existence, but has already been featured on sites like Feedsfarm.com Yahoo News, and Google
News. 's8220;It is our hope that 50StatesForSale.com will continue to grow, and that webmasters all over the world, not just in America, will continue to invest in one of the fastest
growing ad properties on the internet,'s8221; concludes Steffen.
