lol @ those two "me too" pixel site owners!
Alex had the initiative and it paid off for him. Doesn't sound like he's being bitter to me, he's just saying "It's been done" which is totally true.
Personally, I feel that the people launching other pixel sites lack the imagination and innovation that Alex has. To me, there's just something incredibly lame about copying someone else's idea. Just because it worked for Alex, doesn't mean it'll work for anyone else! He had the edge because his site was innovative. His was the only site doing what it did. Now there's thousands!
Anyone who knows anything about marketing knows that a good marketing idea is good for a certain life span. After that, it's old news. That's exactly what I think will happen here. The copycats will fall foul of a lack of interest and can never hope to duplicate the phenomenal success that Alex has had. Hats off to you Alex, mate. Top effort!
