Quirky Australian Website Becomes New Internet Craze - Can This Aussie Succeed?

Brisbane, Australia (PRWEB) March 20, 2006 -- We interviewed Josh Roberts in a previous news story (http://news.yahoo.com/s/prweb/20060224/bs_prweb/prweb350081_1) almost a month ago.

Young enterprenuer Mr Roberts had bizarrely bet his friends 20 cartons of beer that his website will reach One Billion Page Views. Quirky story, we have to admit, however noone could have predicted the chain of events that this interview would trigger.

A global phenomenon has grown from what seemed like an innocent bet between friends over a couple of pints at a pub. Blogs, journals, websites and newsites all over the world have picked up this strange story of a man from Brisbane staking 20 cartons of beer on the fact that his website http://www.onebillionviews.com will reach one billion page views.

Josh states: "I had never expected so much of a global interest. I have had letters of support from Iceland to Japan, and from Venezuela to Russia. People seem to love the idea that something so amazing could be achieved over the internet."

Mr Roberts is of course grateful to the numerous supporters that have flocked to help make http://www.onebillionviews.com what it is today.

When asked about the supporters of the onebillionviews.com cause, Josh answers enthusiasticly : "It is an absolute fact that http://www.onebillionviews.com would not be what it is today without the generous help from its friends and supporters. I wish I could personally thank each and every person that visited http://www.onebillionviews.com."

By providing an automated links page, Josh has put together a blend of intrigue and interest that no webmaster or visitor can turn down.

"I have provided an automated links page, based on a teer program, which allows anyone to link to and from http://www.onebillionviews.com. It is a recognized fact that reciprocal links help webmasters establish their online community, and I believe that by providing a links page I am helping the lesser know pages get more visitors and build from that. You will find that the links page at http://www.onebillionviews.com provides an interesting mixture of website from all across the globe. Many people have set http://www.onebillionviews.com as their homepage and use it as their startpoint for any internet adventure".

http://www.onebillionviews.com has already featured on news sites such as news.yahoo.com, news.google.com, ezprezzo.com, The Australian newspaper and many others, while also featuring prominently on websites and blogs all across the globe.

The current page view count stands at 000625851 To get some serious traffic, and become a part of a global phenomenon make sure you visit http://www.onebillionviews.com and add your link too. I certainly did.
