Not only this, but it also acts as a great filter for your site's own traffic. Put up a small amount of advertising for your sponsors on that page to peel off those surfers interested in that, and let the ones that want to actually see your site click "enter". Hell, I even have a pay link on my exit/leave button, to a non-adult sponsor that makes me a few cents per click.
But a warning page does much more. Because there is usually only a title, a few banners and some text, it will save you money on bandwidth in the long run because it will likely be much less in size than your main page would be.
And as someone mentioned, it can be optimized for search engines to the hilt, with keywords and even hidden text if you're into that. I too used to wonder about having a warning page, but not anymore, I think it's good business all the way around. And if your free site is strictly softcore stuff, keeping all the tempting hardcore stuff for sponsor's banners etc, you should have no problems with the morality watchdogs out there.
