I’m coming to this one late, but dig this: 22-year-old Jim Nelson put up an Ebay auction offering an intriguing marketing proposal. He promised to tattoo the corporate logo of the highest bidder on the back of his head, visibly, for five years.

The winner? The web-hosting company C|Host. According to the company, Nelson’s headvertisement has generated them 500 new clients. I can’t find any mention of how much Nelson is being paid for this, though.

As a C|Host spokesperson says:

“He is the best sales person I have - he passes out flyers, talks to people and does not ask for a salary or commission,” Faulkner stated.
