CPALead offers a great tool to affiliates that provides a popup announcing to the visitor that they are accessing premium content.  In this popup it offers ways to access the page by filling out a few forms and generally submitting an email.  Of course these forms are affiliate links, which payout to the site owner, making the operator some cash by being paid per lead.  I needed an alternative to this, one that I could modify myself and add other offers and tweak to my hearts desire.

After some searching I found a free alternative to teh Premium Content Gateway script provided by CPALead, which is completely independent of any affiliate network.  I used the code from Dynamic Drive and their DHTML Window Widget to create my own content gateway.

The widget provides code that you must add to the pages of your site where you want the window to popup.  The widget actually works by opening a preexisting html page that you create.  Therefore it’s possible to add any text, images, or affiliate links you want.  The html page can of course be modeled directly after the CPALead gateway if you wish.
