Money from Mini-Sites?

Several reasons:

1) Card security (or percieved) why give your ccard details and personal details to any porn site with the percieved rep of the industry for suddenly finding you have recurring $24.99 charges on your card that take 3 months to cancel? (I know thats not what its like now but it was and thats the mud that stuck ).

2) Card bottom end transaction limits. Some cards (certainly prepay cards here in the UK) will not let you spend such a small amount. This is why the $3.99 tours (more than 1 GBP) sometimes do better. Buying a book of tokens for $10 gets you into 10 sites. I think some business cards in the US wont let you spend less than $5 as well.

3) Fear of having "RAYS KINKY SEX EMP.INC." appear on a ccard statement. Thing about the tokens is that they will be demonstrable good for lots of things other than porn. Script downloads, Ebooks .... anyplace where a blogger or site owner thinks he can make a buck.

4) It wont be a porn site. OK we will be dealing with porn sites but we will pull some surfers in who did not come looking for porn.

5)Its new.

Enough reasons?
