This is great for webmasters with large pools of newbie traffic.
What may happen is SE traffic would be diverted to this pay model. I don't see TGP traffic changing to this, though. There will be a scramble to keep newbie surfers 'uneducated' to free porn :) |
Nice idea, would love to see it in action.

If you could convince some top TGP's to do this, it would work alot better. Say the average surfer knows 2 or 3, maybe 4 tgps off by heart. One day he wakes up and sees this system on his first TGP. He says WTF.. goes to the next one, and teh next, etc. Finally he realizes the days of free tgp's is over and he must begin paying for it. That would vreate a real revolution. If you're just using the same old sponsor or bought content to push the same sites as the free TGP's, it'll make some bank... but it wont take off. :2 cents:

Micropayments in non-adult products is already big business. For example, I have seen the numbers of what most of as call silly flash game sites in europe and they are IMPRESSIVE. It's easier to implement such type of payments and increase your revenues when you have your own standard client base. Lately worldpay implemented a similar service with the difference it doesn't support adult content and it's way more time consuming to create an account. Pay as you click has a position in this industry and I believe we didn't see it so far due to complexity it requires to be implemented from the merchant point of view. If you have content or traffic you should look at it. At least give it a try because it has serious potentials by building your own client base and increasing it through time.

a good way for people to burn bookmarks and for someone to make a quick buck but i don't see it as a long term stable income generator for anyone other than the person who owns the base program. why would someone continue to pay for tgp content when soo many others will give it away for free? i see a lot of people post ways to make a quick buck from tgp traffic - and they usually dont' go anywhere cause the tgp model ISN'T about the quick buck. it's about protecting the surfer and building their trust. too many people DON'T get that part of it. |

There are so many applications for this billing method that are different. Surfers will ultimately tell us if it's a hit, or a miss. |
Bump for the Fantasyman ..

I'm sure you've had good and bad comments, Ron, I didn't read the whole thread.
As I've said to several people lately, you've got good ideas and great execution on them. Hell, video's not new, images are not new, the internet's not new. But if you can find yet another model that makes money for your affiliates and your company, that's something good for everyone. :) |
Hi Everyone.
I'm Danny Watkins from PayAsYouClick.com. I'm the founder as many of you know, and one of the directors. We're delighted at the response to the micropayment system - many thanks to Ron and others for their support and assistance during the development, and for helping to bring exposure to what we believe is a pretty awesome system. We've officially launched as of now. I hope you'll work with us to position this to the benefit of the whole industry. I'm going to go through the thread and answer any points that haven't been covered. You can contact me directly if you'd prefer. Finally I should let you know we'll be at booth 1104 at Internext running live demos of the system including how to set up and convert sites. I look forward to meeting many of you. Best wishes, Danny |

You were very supportive of the original idea - I always appreciated your feedback. We learnt a lot from the original concept-trial over a year ago, and this system is a VERY different animal as a result - both technically and commercially. And although I've been on the outskirts of the adult industry since about '98, its only through the involvement of established merchants that we've been able to tune this system to offer the features and flexibility you need. Thanks again Jimmers for your positive approach. Best wishes Danny |

And with a maximum price of $2 we're deliberately not competing with other payment systems more suited to tangible product sales. Regards Danny |
Jayeff - I'd like to answer your post about site lists etc. You mentioned your experience with tokensystems...

But when he realises that lots of sites take it, some with pictures at 1 cent, some offering 1 hour memberships for $1, others with quality videos at 40c, that's when he's going to sign up. The real key lies in the traffic system. Remember you get traffic commission on any sites you link to, so it benefits you to link into a network of other PayAsYouClick sites. Once he arrives at the first one, he'll start following links, and discover more and more sites that take it. That's how we educate him that there are lots of sites to spend money at. PayAsYouClick includes a list of all participating sites, so surfers can see the wide range of sites available. Our list is only available after he's signed up, because we don't want adult branding on the site. But webmasters can take that list and link extensively to those sites. You can also monitor the performance of each of your links and detect any attempt at cheating. So the real answer is that you can set up your own list, mixed in with free or paysites as you choose to suit your traffic. Regards Danny |
very very good idea..
i do have some questions as well as an idea to see if it is possible with your system. will be contacting very shortly! congrats again! |
Im gonna try it now

Traffic percentage is the percentage of the click price you will pay to any webmaster that sent the traffic to you. You can set it to zero if you like, but by rewarding traffic sources (BASED ON RESULTS!!) you will attract quality traffic, and show the surfer lots of places to spend money. We add the traffic commission payments to that webmaster's own sales, and pay him on your behalf. Dynamic Links. You can take an existing free or AVS site and convert it to micropayments in less than an hour. It's mostly just adding "cgi-bin/nph-payasyouclick.cgi?price=2&url=" to the front of your links. You then push a button and we automatically "register" those links, which effectively turns them on. These are static links. But if you have a big site that generates pages and links on the fly from a database, you can't register your links in advance. This option lets you use an encrypted modified form of link code that doesn't require registration. These are "Dyanamic" links. Regards Danny |
I think micropayments are definitely one key to substantial future revenue.
But, and I hope I'm wrong, I don't see this system pulling it off. I see the time investment required on the surfer end too costly, and the risk to already timid webmasters too great. There are downsides to being innovative and revolutionary, as I'm sure FM is fully aware of and prepared for. FM's first to market offering is well thought out, but I think it will be out played by a competing, budding technology. It's funny to me that no one seems to have seen it yet...or are taking their sweet time to unveil it. |

By pre-funding the account (ie like an e-wallet) we're then able to do the single-click instant payments. This is a very different prospect to typing a phone number in every time you click another picture. Without doubt, the pre-funding will be the challenge when selling to surfers. That's why they have to see a shed-load of places to buy from. Regards, Danny |
worth a try and worth registering 2centporn.com

Definitely worth a try

Visit www.onecentporn.com for a sample site - but use FANTASYMAN as the promotion code when you sign up so you get some money in your account. Normally you'd be asked for your card details right after signup.
This is an example of charging by the click - one or two cents for pictures, 20 cents for 1 minute video clips. Of course, you can charge more - maybe increase the price as the set gets harder. But by keeping the low price you'll get the surfer to switch on "auto-confirm" so he just pays by clicking each thumb. All that's involved is putting your content in a protected directory, putting the cgi bit in front of the links, and including some script for the control panel. You then upload the CGI program, register your site, and away you go. Slightly more to it than that, but not much. Sorry about the design ;) Regards Danny |
I think there is a lot of milegae in this idea -
Are you are setting it up along the lines of AVS where you keep a list of all participating site? That way, all the traffic generated by webmasters has a chance of making more cash for everyone. |
Quote:
I don't really want to compare it with an AVS, but there are some similarities. There is a list of all participating sites inside the user's account pages. If the surfer is on Site A and visits the list, site A will get the traffic commission for any sites he visits. If on another occasion the sufer just goes straight to payasyouclick, logs in and selects sites from the list, then the original referring merchant gets the traffic commission. This means that sending an existing surfer to PAYC is never a traffic leak, on the other hand there is a real benefit to being the original referring site for lots of surfers. Danny |
Bump for you fantasyman. Still looking forward to talking with you. :)
Cheers, Matt |

It will almost certainly run on FreeBSD, but we haven't set it up yet. I'll get back to you on that. |
