Most of us had websites with pictures and stories and such for our customers to enjoy while they were talking to us. That was actually how I got my start with building freesites. I also sold my services per call and not per minute, and had a nice steady list of clients with over half as repeats on a regular basis. I did have some phone sex numbers up in the early days -- MaxCash back when they were RJB Telecom!

With the huge rise in offshore numbers and good people being scammed, I got out of the business. The industry changed drastically for the worse. If you think AFF is bad on webmasters, phone sex numbers can be bad all around. Your visitors get ripped off -- some for serious cash. They think they are dialing a local or moderate-cost US number when it is in the Caribbean. Don't even think of tracking for the webmaster. And those few pennies per click? You might see them, but probably not.

I do think the webcams are a bit better deal all around, and a nice step up from the chatrooms. We get better fees, the visitors get things they can look at while they listen, and there are no dialers/long distance fees involved. I do like offering my visitors something interactive, more than caressing a mouse.
