Well, it is my understanding that any site that promises returns but leaves users holding the bag when the site collapses is considered a pyramid scheme. The site will collapse once the prices get to a certain level leaving the last contributors out big money. I believe in mmmzr.com's case, these people demanded their money back.

Another example are the old email pyramids. Remember these? 'send 5 bucks to the top name on the list, bump everyone up and add your name to the bottom'.

I would agree if there was nothing sold for the amount given, like in the email pyramids. But here the people are buying advertisement. The people stuck at the top will never get their money back (or double it), but they will have this advertisement. I agree it's going to be expansive advertisement;-)

True... they are getting something...

Although! There are a lot of pyramid schemes out there that do sell a product of sorts but are still classified as pyramid schemes...

I can't say for sure but I sure would be nervous promising monetary returns... I'm quite sure that mmmzr.com was shut down for it...

Pretty interesting concept. Is this intended to be something like the websites selling pixel space?

What are the incentives for your visitors?

It's illegal because it's a pryamid scheme. Similar to chain letters. Most people lose out. And the few that win, are winning at the expense of others. The scale doesn't hold out. At some point for people to get money, there has to be someone willing to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars, which they won't spend. Eventually if people kept doing it, there wouldn't be enough money in the world to support it.

And if it's not actually illegal like so many other similar things, (e..g, it's something like a ponzi scheme), it's still unethical.

Your site describes an intrigueing marketing concept. It takes quite a while to understand it though, so you might not nail down impatient browsers. However, the pyramid is captivating.

I've got some feedback for you:

- The design is confusing. It took me several minutes to figure out where I was going and why.
- Name recognition is good on the items in the pyramid. I knew pretty quickly who you were associated with.
- Graphics on the site are so-so. The red at the top right looks weird. Maybe a font change would help?
- You should have testimonials on your site.. or a FAQ.. anything to add credibility.

it is a unique concept and is very interesting.The only thing which is lacking is the security of people's money as it is primary objective of your site,
i think it ivestment from your side on that account is lacking
thanks

It's pretty intriguing.

Nice idea, although the design could have been much better. I can see you put in a fair amount of effort. I can't give you too much constructive critism, because I don't want to seem like a know-it-all, I'm not a huge fan of business websites, but I have seen much better designs in business sites.
Perhaps you should put a bit more effort into it.
My rating: 7.1/10
Good effort.
