Rent My Chest – Chris Pirillo New Twist on the Word Cloud Craze
ReNt mY cHEsT – Click to see my “Affiliates” link!
I’ve been waiting for someone to come up with a fun, unique spin on the “sell a word” craze. Chris Pirillo from Lockergnome has had the RentMyChest site for a couple years and used to sell ads like the one in the pic written with magic marker for $200. He just upgraded the site and is now using Joel Comm’s Link Sizzler software but is putting a different twist on the concept. I just bought AFFILIATES since the site is PR 6 and knowing Chris, it will attract lots of webmaster traffic. Checking out Alexa I already see a huge spike in traffic and the new word cloud upgrade just launched. I’ll give Chris a little plug – go check it out, it’s pretty cool!
Rent My Chest “No AJAX. No rounded corners. No venture capital. Just my bare chest! I know I’m not the hottest guy on Earth, but I believe that I have the perfect chest for your favorite word. So, if you would like to place a word on my chest, either select an unclaimed word between my nipples below or Suggest a word – what are you waiting for? Your word will float on my chest forevermore.”
NOTE: Here’s the original version of Chris’ RentMyChest. And here’s the REAL geeky chest of Chris Pirillo covered with magic marker ads costing 200 a pop.
I posted about this in some forums and people are accusing me of FALSE advertising. When I said Rent My Chest they thought I was offering ads on MY chest.

Hey Chris, I think you should stickie my word “Affiliates” to the top of the page or pay me a commission for all the traffic I’m sending you! I just put this story up on Digg and in some forums so hang onto your server!
