A paysite is a shorter name for "a site that people pay to get into" - A.K.A a membership-based site. Paysites are sites that the surfer must pay for before he or she can get the movies and pics. It's a bit like renting a movie from a video shop. And - as movies have trailers - paysites have what are called 'tours'. The tour gives surfers a short preview of what they will see when they join the paysite. Paysites often offer a cheap trial - where the surfer will pay a few dollars for three or four days access to the site. The paysite owner won't make much from this initial fee - it's more of an attempt to get the surfer into the rebilling system. If the surfer does not cancel that membership within the given period of a few days, they'll be billed at the full price - and the paysite owner will start to make money. The three essential components to running a paysite are: Traffic The tour The content & Member support. Although new webmasters have started paysites and made a success of them, it's generally advised that they do not start off with a paysite. This is because paysites require a substantial investment for content as well as skills in general adult webmastering.

Pay per click (PPC) search engines are a way for adult webmasters to get visitors in to their adult websites. They look like ordinary search engines but the sites that are listed there are paying for the privilege. Every time a surfer clicks on one of the webmaster's websites there, whoever owns the website is charged a few cents for that click. This money goes to the PPC search engine. If you get 100 clicks, for example, and you paid 5 cents per click, you would have paid $5.00 for 100 surfers to visit your website.

Sponsor Programs sometimes pay for per unique click. (See Unique Hit) This varies from as low as $.01 per click up to $.20 cents per click. Every time someone clicks on your link, you will be paid that amount of money.

A pay period is the time frame that sponsors use to remit payments. These can run from daily payments, weekly, bi-weekly and monthly.
