Porn Lotto actually did fairly well. With porn lotto, you sent visitors and received one ticket for every visitor sent. A lottery drawing was selected and the winner received 90% of the visitors the next day. I think it would have probably continued to grow. At the time, it was just too small of a percentage of company income and we ditched it to concentrate on our main business at the time - which was search engine traffic. It ended up being more of a novelty for us than anything else.
We also invented gambling games where webmasters sent in visitors and received one credit for each visitor sent. You could then gamble your visitors in blackjack and other games with typical house rules. Robin introduced a similar product at the exact same time (The gambling games, not the lotto). We had independently hit upon the idea.
Same thing happened to this idea. We developed these sites when we were just starting but then the SE stuff took off and we ditched it. Either of these ideas would be good for a rogue programmer/graphics person to do for additional income.
