PORTLAND, Ore., May 27 /PRNewswire/ -- Contenture, Inc, has publicly launched
their revolutionary patent-pending micropayment system. Websites use
Contenture as a superior business model apart from advertising. Contenture
makes it extremely simple for any website to collect micropayments from
readers and implement a freemium component to their website. By integrating
with Contenture, online content providers have an immediate revenue stream and
a sustainable business model. 

"Internet advertising revenues are declining, so websites are struggling.
People want to support the sites they visit, and Contenture lets them,"
explains co-founder Alex Wilhelm.

Contenture is especially well-positioned to work with newspapers and
magazines. Traditional publishers do not have an online business model to
monetize their premium content. Contenture fills that gap by providing a
single unified system for all publishers, eliminating the need for readers to
register with multiple providers. This allows for higher user adoption rates
and a simplified system for even the most traditional publisher.

Blogs on major platforms can use plug-ins to streamline configuration.  A
WordPress plug-in, and a Drupal plug-in developed by Phase2 Technologies, are
available with more to come.
