better check your sites
 

Just wanted to pass on a bit of info for those who may use the
Adult Check system.

Adult check did a clean up of their listings today.

You better go see how many sites that were delisted from their system.


I think you might be surprised at what you have left!

How many sites did they delete?

Thousands. Maybe tens of thousands.

We HAD over 2500 sites..NOW 126....

Good for them!

Kudos to Adult Check. :thumbsup

So its good they delete sites that met all the rules and didn't play games with their system?

Yeah, fuck that. If a site meets the rules, it should be listed.

They are down for me so I guess i will see in the am too much drama for one night.

I can't believe the number of people I know who've gotten fucked by AVS's and billing companies in the last 3 weeks.

More than the last 3 years combined.

This is the start, not the end.

I think Adult Check should charge everyone the $750 Visa fee. The free ride should come to an end! :Graucho

750 for every site you submit! :thumbsup
don't like it?

then get out!

Avs is dead anyhow.... thats a fact.
just a matter of time.

I've seen you say that several times now - what's your reasoning behind that?

Apart from the constant problems, Visa cracking down on them semi publically now, some big fines for some of the larger ones (which they haven't told you about) ... the list goes on .... oh and theres also that rumor about visa being really pissed that their name is being used as an over 18 adult check and the legal implications that holds .....

... what convinced me was because I have heard that directly from the mouths of 2 different AVS program heads.

shit,any possible reason behind this action?

I would bet that visa is coming down on them hard. a lot of avs's are starting to feel the heat, and trying to be complient by changing how they are advertised, and the quality of the sites in the system.

no more leaching the avs link list traffic

150,000+

belonging to webmasters who had not earned at least $1.00 in 7 months.

Exactly, it's called get your own traffic. The sites they deleted, as far as I was aware, were sites that made 0 sales this year. So those sites are not converting from linklist traffic or, if wm's had promoted them, their own traffic.

Sausage most avs services removed the crap regarding over 18 verification sometime ago.

i see
but how can you make 0 sales in a whole year from an AC site? I thought they were strict on how your site is and with a small SE traffic you could get a few sales per site.

How many sites in their network before the purge?

They slackened their rules a while ago mate. They have only recently tightened up the Gold policies once again. I agree with you, you should be able to get a sale with some outside traffic - so best guess here is those sites were not promoted at all, but were built with the intentions of upselling acmoviespass, acprime, acgold sites and acpay paysites from the Ac links list traffic instead of trying to sell passes. It's pretty clear now what AC is looking for, wm's who can build converting sites which are promoted.

The purge probably got rid of just more than 1/2 their sites. A rough estimate might've been about 220,000.

Personally, I think it was a pretty fair cleanup assuming they did what they claim they did. That is, dump every site by webmasters who didn't earn a dime all year.

It should not have affected webmasters who made even just 1 sale all year.

What you say about purging sites that don't make sales is true.
But on our stats page even sites making sales were purged not just the ones that didn't.

Ok.
Who remembers Adult check when they had 184 sites ?

The stats are fucked at the moment. Suprised if anything in there makes sense today.
