• a) receiving a request for access to a web page from a browser-user, the web page comprising content provided by a publisher;
• b) determining that the request for the web page was made without payment information;
• c) determining the value of the browser-user to an advertising source;

• e) responding to the request for access to the web page from the browser-user, the response comprising:
• a (i) refusal of access to the web page and (ii) a provision of payment terms, the payment terms comprising the price to access the web page and the rebate;
• f) receiving a re-request for the web page from the browser-user with payment information from the browser-user;
• g) determining whether the payment information from the browser-user is sufficient to satisfy the payment terms;
• and
• h) sending the requested web page to the browser-user if the payment information satisfies the payment terms;
• wherein payment is provided at least in part to the publisher or an entity associated with the publisher.

A computer-implemented system, comprising:

• a digital processing device comprising at least one processor, an operating system configured to perform executable instructions, a memory, and a computer program including instructions executable by the digital processing device to create a pay-per-access micropayment-based server application, the computer program comprising:
• a) a first software module receiving a request for access to a web page from a browser-user, the first software module determining that the request was made with payment information comprising willingness to pay, a method of payment, one or more sources preferred for recovering money by inserting advertisements, or the amount of the payment, the web page comprising content provided by a publisher, the payment to be provided at least in part to the publisher or an entity associated with the publisher;

• and
• (3) responding to the request for access to the web page from the browser-user, the response comprising:
• (i) a refusal of access to the web page and a provision of payment terms, the payment terms comprising the price for access to the web page and the rebate;
• or
• (ii) an acceptance of the browser-user's payment terms and a request for payment;
• and
• c) a third software module
• (1) receiving a re-request for the web page from the browser-user with payment information from the browser-user;
• (2) determining whether the payment information from the browser-user is sufficient to satisfy the payment terms;
• and
• (3) sending the requested web page to the browser-user if the payment information satisfies the payment terms;
