They have written an article about Payittome :

"Hi Reno,

Just wanted you to know that I've had just under 400 visitors in about 10 hours time. The screenshot below shows stats as of Midnight PST yesterday.

Thanks a ton !"


"Well, I am both a marketer and a participant on PayItTo me, so I was happy to discover this discussion and this site.

First a little background...

I, like many, discovered PayItToMe via Techcrunch, and decided to give it a try. I knew that most advertisers weren't gonna touch a wish that was too expensive in relation to an untested advertising model, so I decided to go small and unique--a 30 pack of Bud Light ($22.99 USD). Predictably, ads posted after mine were mostly composed of iPhones and other pricey gadgets.

Within 24 hours, my wish had been granted by a small web business operator. Another guy's wish for Halo 3 (about $50) was also granted by the operator of another small business. After that, the next few weeks were uneventful on the wish granted side, save for someone's Heroe's DVD and a couple other relatively cheap wishes.

But as the site gained publicity and its traffic has increased, so has the quantity, quality, and frequency of the wishes that have been granted. 2 iPhones and a Playstation 3 are among the some dozen items purchased by advertisers...

...And for you skeptics out there--no, it's not a scam. My Bud Light was quite real and quite refreshing...."



"This site has the potential to be something really cool. I think the opportunity for advertisers to connect to their audience is deeper than it appears on the surface. Rather than spending money on ad space, paying bloggers directly, etc., advertisers can appeal to a mass audience based on what wish they fulfill. It makes total sense that an artist would buy somebody an iPhone. I'm curious as to how much this "ad buy" increased traffic to the artists site. This is a young concept with a lot of potential..."



"This site is such a awesome idea, and I think it is a great way for advertisers to really connect with the people they are trying to reach..."



"This is a really cool concept and may become something huge..."
