how are your ModelCentro sales with the UK AVS

[NatalieK]

Affiliates, creators & site owners, whether you run or promote ModelCentro model sites, how has the AV integration to the sites effected your sales?

With the FHG´s & all the links to free pages on the MC websites the sites displaying the $1.5 payment gateway for AV, has this increased your turnover & profits or has your traffic turned away?

Has your traffic been effected by this?



Personally, I would have preferred a free AV check, however, the cost of this would have needed to be covered somewhere, so I understand the reason for MC to take this option

Sales have dried up for me, looks like all my rebills are gone too.

I don't understand why MC have done this with the payment verification gateway, why not just redirect to an MC signup page?

rebills shouldn´t be hit with this, as members use credit cards & have already processed this, it´s only the new traffic...



but yes, to hit this AV wall when just wanting to look at free pics & a FHG, it´s a pain in the ass

You posted something you had done recently with a link to your site - I clicked it only to get the AV warning... Daft. Especially when the big players don't use it...

Do you not have a choice with model centro?

no choice, not what i´ve seen...

both our sites inc. southerncumsluts.com has this when searching from the UK, or so i have heard from anyone viewing from there.

Maybe everyone will have to use it if viewed from the UK though?


It´s making me wonder how we arrange our blog now...

Every update, i list it on my blog NatalieKash.com with a SFW photo & then i´ll not need AV on my blog, and anyone can still see what i´m updating on my site.

I update every day, so it´s a lot of extra work but could be a perfect way for creating more traffic & sales on my site NatalieK.xxx, sending people to my blog rather than my site


of course, this isn´t good for affiliates

If I am a surfer why would I PAY to enter a site just to see a tour?

This is basically the problem with these laws, and why they will absolutely destroy the economy of legitimate adult content.

My understanding is that the safest approach is to verify people before they hit the tour, and since there is no state-provided age verification system, sites have to either eat this cost for every user, or pass it on to the users before they see the tour.

As you said, why would a surfer pay to view a tour?

word

as a performer there are sites I can't use cuz apparently my face doesn't match my passport. a doc issued last year. in fairness the photo is awful but I think that's the law for passport pics

using the same cam I use to actually work in this biz (my beloved logitech), with great lighting, on some sites I cannot verify. at best they force you to switch to a phone if on laptop. not an inconvenience/hassle in any way

now imagine a man, who may have grown new facial hair or removed it since his last ID photo, just chilling in his bedroom with crap lighting and a shitty webcam tryna actually pay for porn?

madness

every site with NSFW content, should or must have AVS, an impossible situation, but for now, is happening

This would be good if there was a state provided AVS, no cost to no one, yes, this could work

agreed...

many times i´ve had similar problems, verifying for tubes and other sites & a big red x, re do, better lighting needed & things like this...

could be a real pain in the ass for any one wanting to jerk off over some porn

MC couldn´t have some sites with & some without, as, if the site is viewed in UK, then by law, needs AV, no choice....
