I am new to adult and it seems like I keep hitting road blocks. Makes me wonder if it's worth it. First, BLA accuses me of bad clicks/impressions (which was completely false) and I provided them with log files and everything they wanted and they kept claiming they never received my emails and eventually said it can't be verified, so they banned me. Fine, I was only on track to making $100 per month by coving my site with their hard core ads. So, I decided to start charging people to view my content...

Signed up with Zombaio and was completely happy with their service. Two weeks after processing with them I get a notice that they received a complaint from the Visa Compliance Group and that my site would likely be rejected in a few days. Well 6 days later (today) I received an email saying that my site was officially rejected by the Visa Compliance Group and that they gave no reason for the decision. Ok, I figured, well I will need to find another processor for Visa transactions.... Nope, Zombaio completely banned the website from processing with them at all... which I don't understand.

Questions:
1. Once a site has been rejected by VCG, can it be resubmitted for consideration again? I figure that I can sign up for another processor and it will be submitted again. But, can the same processor (Zombaio) resubmit the same website?

2. Before I sign up for another processor, I need to really understand what is wrong with my site so I don't just get rejected again. Searching this forum tells me that it is very illusive and that VCG doesn't share their rules (where's the logic in that?). The only thing I could find on GFY is a list of 3 words that you cannot have on your site ('preteen', 'lolita', and 'pedo'). My site is user generated content, and I found that I did have 'preteen' used as a tag on 2 videos and 'lolita' used in the description of one. All 3 instances were cases of keyword stuffing and had nothing to do with the content. I removed these words 6 days ago when I first got the notice, but I guess it was too late.

3. Besides certain banned words, what are some other rules you must follow to be compliant with Visa? For instance, do I need the standard "you must be at least 18 years old to enter this site" splash page to be compliant, even if you cannot view any content without signing up?

Basically, I would like any and all information anyone has on this. Would be nice if we could compile a list of words/rules all in one place.

Thanks for your help!!
