So?
If that inspires you, then create a site that gets people talking. Better
yet, give 'em information they can't find elsewhere.
(His site seems pretty useless, though - for both visitors & advertisers. I
wouldn't hold it up as a model for anything.)
By the way, when I searched "pixelotto" on Google just now it turned up way
fewer than 121000 results. And, the site has been online way longer than "a
few weeks."

Adding quality content is certainly a good start. Great.
