I've never done an adult website, but some observations:
At least in the U.S. you need to ensure the people who enter are of
legal age or you run into problems. The generally accepted way is a
credit card. And that requires a merchant account (PayPal won't work),
which almost always has higher-than-normal rates because of the high
rate of charge backs.
But if she expects to get a lot of money, forget it. She'll be lucky to
be able to pay for the hosting. The adult sites which make a lot of
money have hundreds of thousands of pictures, videos, etc. They also
typically generate a huge amount of spam to get people to their sites.
Linking a bunch of sites together just means a bunch of people will
split the meager income. 200 sites typically won't equate to 200 (or
more) times the income as one site.
