Thanks Groove.

We have developed and patented a totally new payment system for both mainstream and adult sites. We're looking for forward thinking webmasters to take part in a live trial.

PayAsYouClick is a micropayment system that allows webmasters to charge surfers between 0.1 cents and $2 for each click on an item of premium content. That can include pictures, videos, or timed access to all the content of a particular directory. You can sell users access for any period between 10 minutes and 24 hours.

The system is designed for very high traffic very low cost sites, so is perfect for TGP galleries. An existing free gallery or site can be converted to per-click charging in about 15 minutes.

You do not need any software on the server, it is free to set up, and there are no monthly fees. We take a straight percentage with no minimum. You only need .htaccess protection - we do everything else for you. You are even protected from hotlinkers and password sites even if your password files are hacked!

Part of the signup process for surfers includes downloading a PayAsYouClick toolbar that integrates with their IE6 browser. Once they have the toolbar, their browser recognises any PayAsYouClick protected link before they click it, and displays the charge. The user confirms the charge with a single click, and gets instant access. Without the toolbar, there is no way in.

This means that he is always just one click from spending, rather than having to get his card out, or enter an email, or PIN, or dial a phone number etc. For adult sites where you're relying on spur-of-the-moment spending, and where surfers are nervous of potential card scams, this represents a major leap forward from any other payment systems.

The challenge will be getting users to install the toolbar. To help them decide, surfers are given $2 of "free money" to try out the system before they are asked to top up their accounts using a credit card.

We've set up example galleries, sites, and TGP lists to show you how the system can be promoted within the existing TGP / Gallery / Paysite model, creating an irresitable incentive for surfers to sign up.

There is a built-in surfer and webmaster referral system. This means that TGP owners can promote the system to surfers, and earn up to $10 per surfer, and $100 per webmaster, while gallery posters will make a few cents from every visitor that clicks on their pictures or videos.

As far as the trial is concerned, we want webmasters who will work with us to ensure the system is bullet proof, and who will experiment with new ways to market the system to surfers. It is a live trial, and you'll be taking real money, but we may need to limit numbers during the trial so we can ramp up our servers as demand increases.

The web site is a bit rough round the edges, but it all works, and it's ready to earn you money. When the system is proven, we'll do all the pretty stuff.

The main website is http://www.payasyouclick.com. Example websites are at http://www.surfingsuggestions.com.

We believe this system has the potential to move the entire free-gallery model over to a pay-per-click model. This will bring vast new revenue into the adult business from surfers who do not want to pay for a full subscription, or who are concerned about card fraud and free-trial scams. At the same time, it will also increase traditional subscription spending by reducing the amount of free porn, and getting users used to the idea that they have to pay - however little.

I'll be on this board whenever I can to answer any question you may have.
