Are AVS still a viable business model?
Well i believe so that i have plans to rebuild
http://www.adultlock.com into an AVS. I had a script running the "verifier" script but have pulled it down before i really began due to it out dated and the changing laws of AVS seems never ending and required work loads. We will change to a custom php script over time. If any AVS webmasters wanna do a % deal with their script let me know.
With laws changing many sites may require some form of password protection or may need to be marketed under AVS sites as searchengines may choose to ban misleading domains. I think it will be a lot safer to classify yourself as an AEN Adult Entertainment Network than an AVS these days as A= Age, Adult or Access and i am not sure if anyone is allowed to actually be called an AVS anymore. Still trying to figure out who is actually an AVS anyhow.
