Some accurate & inaccruate info in this thread, so let me throw my 2cents in:

True:
AVS industry has changed significantly since the new CC regulations went in effect

False:
AVS is dead

True:
AVS is a good way to protect your content from kids and unauthorized surfers

False:
Your AVS site 100% protects you legally from underage surfers

AVS proggys are a great way to put up a paysite..without all the hassles of updating a site constantly...and dealing with all the merchant processing crap.

I have (and still do) make a significant amount of money off of AVS proggys...
with much better conversion ratios than any paysite sponsor or affilliate program...and yes even better ratios than Free E-zines (CE cash or otherwise)

There are a lot of AVS companies that bit the dust...and there are even more that still exist..but SUCK.....any AVS..that requires a surfer to pay for the membership...(Adult Check..., proadult, etc...) SUCK

SexKey ROCKS....Freeagepass is ok...I am not familiar with baddog's AVS..but have heard some good things about it..

Remember kiddies...its not the proggy that determines their longevity....but the processor......the ones I prefer use CC bill as a processor...CC bill makes sure....they chargebacks remain low..., therefore the AVS remains alive (as does CC bill if there chargebacks remain under Visa's 1% limit)

IMHO
