  • Patent number: 6595859
    Abstract: An Internet marketing method and game is designed for promoting access to the web site which hosts the game, and to keep potential consumers occupied on the web site for exposure to several different advertisements, or to a few advertisements repeatedly. The inventive game is centered around a “point and click” system in which a screen display is provided which includes a game image made up of a large number of individual pixels. A player is encouraged to randomly select a pixel or image area location on the game image which selected pixel or image area location is then compared to one or more stored prize winning pixel or image area locations. Players are encouraged to play the game as many times as they like, and with each play, one or more advertisements are displayed on the screen outside of the picture, and on losing response pages with each additional “play” of the game.
