Edinburgh, Scotland (PRWEB) January 21, 2006 – A mystery website has paid $5 to become famous. The mystery website has bought 5 minutes of fame by becoming the WhatsTimeWorth.com (http://www.WhatsTimeWorth.com) 'Click Here Now' mystery link.

It's now proven. People are willing to pay for a link that gives no indication of where it will go
The homepage, of WhatsTimeWorth.com contains a 'Click Here Now' link that is for sale every 5 minutes. An internet link, or hyperlink, is the clickable piece of text that takes a visitor to a different webpage.

The oversized 'Click Here Now' link is the WhatsTimeWorth.com homepage. However what is really different about this 'Click Here Now' link is that it does not feature any indication of what site it is currently linked to. "It's now proven. People are willing to pay for a link that gives no indication of where it will go", says Neil Selkirk, the WhatsTimeWorth.com owner.

The link is being sold in blocks of 5 minutes meaning "the link has the potential to change every 5 minutes and that should definitely be a draw for the curious", explains Selkirk. Above the 'Click Here Now' link is the Rate per Minute that the advertiser has paid and below is the Total Amount of money paid so far.

Originally, each 5 minute link will be sold for $1US Dollar per minute. However, when 24 hours is sold out, then price will be increased. Selkirk believes that as the site grows in popularity, the traffic to the advertisers will increase. Each time someone buys the 5 minute link, the urge for visitors to click on the link becomes even greater, Selkirk said.

Asked what he will do with the money he makes, Selkirk said, "With a mortgage, a family and a few more business ideas, I’m sure it'll be put to good use". He continued, "maybe your website should have 5 minutes of fame?"
