Reviews about Content Selling Sites

April, thank you so much for your kind review! We pride ourselves on our support and we are always happy to help! Thanks again!

Hi Victoria!
I have a few questions about your review:
Did you get spam emails about the domain? Was it from the registrar? If you are talking about MC's emails, you can easily unsubscribe from those in the footer of any email, and they are not in any way connected with your purchase of the domain name.
When you say "they DO chargebacks", you mean the users or MC? ModelCentro does not initiate or support or otherwise have any influence on the user's choice to make a chargeback. It can potentially be done with absolutely any online payment. We don't even have notice in advance - only after it's done, sometimes in over a week's time. That being said, we work hard to retrieve any funds that were charged back and often they are returned. But yes - we do not pay to you for funds that were for charged back on your website from our pocket - the loss is shared in the same % as profit is. Here's a thread that details what we do to retrieve your funds and some models' feedback on it: http://community.modelcentro.com/index.php?p=/discussion/comment/6501/#Comment_6501 I hope any chargebacks that occurred to you will be retrieved as well and you will see the money back on your balance.
It is often the case that it takes 3-6 months for the website to become a stable and regular passive income tool and in this case there is usually absolutely no problem making weekly payouts.

Thanks for letting us know about the chargebacks Victoria.

Yes, I did get spammed and continue to do so by places offering SEO services, etc. I was even snail mailed SEO and other advertisements directly related to the domain I set up with you guys. How do I know it was you? Because I specifically used a special name for the domain set up and it's that name on the front of the envelopes. All of them are directly related to the free domain package you guys offered for a year. Even after cancelling the domain I still get spammed. As for the charge backs, I think it is a very poor practice on your part and once guys get wind of it and start using it, models will leave to protect their content. It's best you guys stop beating around the bush and be upfront about that because it's something is a make or break for taking the time to upload and promote a bunch of content only to have someone view all of it and get their money back... not just one time but I've had it happen at least twice over the past year and it's not because my content or website was inferior or not offering the services or products they expected. They did it specifically to get free porn. This just leaves the worst taste in my mouth. I only keep the website around because it has a good design but once I have the time and resources I will be moving on to bigger and better things. Thanks for your reply and concern nonetheless!

Hi there Scarlet!
First of all, I want to thank you for your feedback. We are continuously working on improving our platform, so such feedback is really useful for us.
I want to draw your attention to the fact that ModelCento offers all its technology at no cost for setup and takes a small revshare instead of a license cost to purchase the software. We always emphasize that we don�t drive traffic to model sites, but provide models with the tools that can help them with attracting members. By tools I mean an affiliate program, integration with social networks, free domain name, etc.
Also, in the ModelCentro Community you can find a lot of useful information on how to optimize your website for search engines: which domain name to choose, how to use key words, how to do blogging, etc.

I have fabulous news for both of you! Search engine optimization changed dramatically beginning this year and due to these changes keywords, meta-data, back links, etc. etc. all the major players of former SEO are no longer as relevant. I am proud to say that with most web traffic going through mobile data now or other mediums such as Alexa or echo or the likes referred to in marketing as A.I. or artificial intelligence, search engine optimization will now be based on actual organic content! It's a fabulous day to be a writer. Or an artist. Or anybody who is passionate about what they do. Because now the better content you provide the better you're going to be visible to AI. No more manipulative marketing or keywords that push the boundaries of containment, if you will LOL. But finally the nice guy's going to finish first. If you don't believe me feel free to do your research specifically in regards to rankbrain. The times, they are a changing, and if you're not evolving, my darling, you're dying. Wishing everyone the best of luck! And may we ALL profit greatly in the years to come! If you need some direction or guidance, this is one of my favorite personal blogs and I love their newsletters: @SEJournal on Twitter

You didn't say that you would drive traffic to our sites..sure. But you also didn't say that you would prevent traffic from finding our sites either!

You give us tools huh. Social media integration is a tool that uses our fame to drive traffic to model centro. Your affiliate marketing is largely just MCProfits, meaning you have set up a system that allows you to collect an even greater share of the profits generated by our content. You provide a domain? Big freaking deal! You provided me a dot com domain, last week I just purchased one from godaddy for $14.00.

We do the promotion, live performances, videos, blogs, photosets and it is our efforts that draw the clients who spend money. You collect a portion of this money in exchange for providing a platform. That is it so please stop talking like you're some "Pro Mode;" altruistic organization that's here to help us. You're here to exploit us just like every other cam site and adult site on the net.

All that you need to do is to provide a CMS platform that works. Compared to what we bring to the table, stop acting like your doing us a favor because your not.

Are you really justifying the fact that your site is not compatible with search engines by stating that you didn't say you would provide traffic? What value does a website have if it can't be found by a search engine? All you need to do is to competently provide a CMS that works. If it search engines can't see any structured data, then your software has utterly failed.

Instead of trying to blame models or suggesting that they can do something to affect their SEO how about you own the problem and do something about it. Nothing a model does using your system can be seen by google so therefore there is nothing she can do to affect anything at all. How dare you suggest otherwise. You must really have a low opinion of us. Telling us it's our fault and suggesting that there's something we can do about it while knowing full well that everything we do will not be detected by google so therefore can't have any affect on this whatsoever is disgusting. You must believe that we are simply too stupid to ever figure it out. So long as we keep uploading our pussy to your site then what does it matter right?

News Flash! Guess what. This stupid cam girl has called you on your shit and thanks to forums like this one, everyone will know. Do you really think models are going to want to sign up when they know that using MS means losing millions of potential customers?

So how about instead of being condescending and talking down to us like we are morons, you own your mistakes and do something to fix it! You didn't even acknowledge that not being compatible with search engines is a problem at all.

What are you going to do to restore confidence? Do you take this seriously or not? If your going to fix this, when? Or do I need to share this everywhere.

Here's another News Flash. We are sick and tired of being exploited. We are not isolated and word travels fast. You are not the only CMS out there so don't take us for granted. So what are you going to do? Anything at all?

Hi Scarlet,

Thank you for your review. Let me address the issues that you bring up.

First off, the major part of your complaint is regarding SEO and search engines not being able to find websites powered by MC. The platform does have much room for improvement in this regard, and a lot is in the works as we speak.
I decided to do a bit of research on the fact that you could not find your website even by searching exact titles. Here�s a search on Google that I did just now: http://take.ms/mDZWv. Could it be that it was finally crawled recently?

Yes, I searched for the exact phrase but searching for each separate word will bring results from all over the world � from larger, more established websites and naturally you won�t show up on top � that is simply how search engines work. It is really optimistic to expect to show up in top 10 results for the word �Dominatrix� when a website has been launched just recently, it has relatively little content, traffic and traction.

Your website is indexed by search engines and is brought up more easily, as you mentioned, when you add your stage name to the search. You cannot expect to rank on the first page with generic keywords that are so plentiful all over the web.
In your particular case, part of the reason that google was �prejudiced� against displaying your website is because it was on a �.rocks� higher level domain, which search engines tend to look very critically at. Now that you also added a .com � as you can see in the result above, the .com is ranking higher than the .rocks off the bat � although it�s the same content.

There are structural improvements and SEO optimization in the works within the next 2-3 sprints of our dev team, so maybe you will see better results soon.

Other matters, re �You give us tools huh. Social media integration is a tool that uses our fame to drive traffic to model centro.� � Well, that�s not really correct. Your social media posts lead to your website and will convert on your website and nowhere else. We do not redirect the social media traffic to a page where the user can choose other models. So why would you say that it is driving traffic to MC (which by the way isn�t a user-oriented website so even if a user would land on it they won�t know what to do� unless they decide to become a model and launch a website).

MCProfits was launched as functionality, and in itself a compromise for what we set out to do � create tools for marketing and not do the fishing for you. We built the system to simplify life for models who want to do affiliate marketing but do not have the time to manage it. ModelCentro does not earn an extra dime above its regular share on any of the joins that happen through affiliate-generated traffic. Our earnings are exactly the same either way. If you want to offer rewards for sales to affiliates you can. If not � there�s always the option of disabling MCProfits and doing your own marketing without relying on extra traffic from affiliate marketing. Please also note that only those sales that are generated by affiliates and tracked are something that you will have to share profit with your affiliates on. Direct sales give you the standard percentage at all time. Lastly on this, affiliates only make money from joins and rebills � any secondary revenue that you make on the same users is yours at your regular revenue share � meaning all tips, presents, PPM liveshows, locked content sales etc. are yours to keep at the standard revshare.
Domain names. We do not hide how much regular domain names cost or try to make it sound like a big deal. We could choose to not offer these. As a present for the launch of a website, we pay for 1 year of the domain (if the model chooses to take us up on the offer). We do this for every real account that went through approval. We do not seek any special props for doing this. It�s hard to understand why it would be used as a negative thing. If you wish you can always buy your own domain and connect it to your ModelCentro-powered website.

ModelCentro�s core value is partnership with the models who utilize the platform to run their websites. No, we are not a charity and yes we are aimed at profit.
The revenue share business model means we are also aimed to generate profit for those who use MC. We do work on a very narrow margin and cover the expenses associated with the website, although of course most of the operation�s costs are tied with development. We have an active team of 30+ developers and designers working on improving the platform. It has gone a long way since its launch and will develop further in the future.

Our goal has always been offering a good and high quality service. Some things are still being worked on, others already released and a ton more is planned. So, development is ongoing and constantly our priority.

It is very upsetting to me to see the frustration and negativity that using our platform has caused. I sincerely hope that that you will give the platform time to prove itself and present itself in a better light.

yeah I have been on skyprivate for a month myself almost and I never have got even 1 customer to friend request me on Skype?

It was great before everyone get on it. Unfortunately in this game there is always a few under cutters who devalue themselves enough to do the most for the least. Its ok though they usually drop out soon because the cheap approach slowly makes them less desirable to their regulars.

I had a profile on you kandy,I didn't last long,no traffic,I was getting referels but didn't make any money from those referels so that was pointless to

The referrals are the only thing im making money off of there, but I escort irl and then send my clients to my clip sites so i have a fairly high conversion rate and I'm sure that makes a huge difference

why the low ratings for payment? did they not pay, was considering the site but now not sure

I agree. I used to make a lot doing customs there. Now I haven't made a single sale in a month. The guys on there don't want to pay a lot for anything

He or She?

Wow! Really?

Thanks for sharing. I have been eyeballing SP since long ago and am still not convinced to join or test it.

I intended to buy a notebook for work, but I don't want to test it

ps did I mention there are lots of bugs and it is takes forever to load videos? yeah skip it!

Hi @LoadedLuxx, sorry to hear you had a bad experience with the platform. One thing I didn't understand was why you had trouble deleting the website. You have full control over what content is displayed and can delete everything yourself from the admin. The account closing procedure does mean you'll be asked if you're sure - just because we've had one too many people asking to reopen their account in a few hours. Besides, the team needs time to confirm with the billing department and refund and/or cancel all the users of the website who paid for a subscription that are currently active. But again - you're in full control of what content is on your website so you can always pull everything down yourself. Please comment with how long it took to have the account deleted from your first request - just to be fair here.
It's a pity that you encountered upload errors and bugs. I hope you reported them so that the team can work on ironing them out, at least for other models who work with the platform.
ModelCentro is made to make building a website simple - without coding, user support, billing fees, server setup and other headaches. The platform might not be absolutely perfect, but quite a lot of models use it successfully and are happy with how easy it is. Freshly updated browser and a good internet connection work miraculously for improving interaction with the admin panel.
Lastly, I'd appreciate it if once you build your own website you'd comment here about how it went. I strongly respect models who want to go through all the trouble and love to read success stories.

1000% Correct Loaded! I wrote this years ago on wecamgirls. Sad to hear it's still going on. smh. Sad. I said it was a browser eater. Even on chrome or firefox etc.

Look out if you link it to skyprivate. If you don't know how you will loose out like I did. The admin does not speak great English and can be rude to you if you do not promote your site. LMAO Funny though because they don't promote your site for you either. Even though they take a cut.

Don't use the name you work with to make your site. Use a disposable one. That's what i did as bait to see what would happen. Pure thirstbox poaching of your name. The next year some dork will be using it hoping to be like you.

Don't invite your real long time customers. Just the ones you don't mind.

Don't get a xxx domain. They are not professional enough to let you know before it runs out. They forget or just don't care. They also told Me they could not afford it the second year lol. Then presumed to know if I was or wasn't promoting it enough. The nerve! I have the screenshot!!!

Natalie is nice but that does not erase the issues. Or the fact that you can get a xxx Domain for 66$ or free on other sites. Or the fact that you might end up talking to someone but her and end up with some arrogant attitude. Its to much drama and effort for the outcome.

If your a Findom why would you want to share you tips anyways? slaves don't like that. They don't like to pay companies they want to pay only you!

I built my own site! I can write the text I want such as *hypnosis and *forced. I can do whatever I want. You can too loaded. Check out Adultmembersites or build your own. I just made 3200.00 this month off My personal site. Best of all no one is there to see what I am up to and hate on My game.

@TOPMODEL18, you have a billing company that allows the word *forced? Which one is that? As far as I know, all credit card billers have to follow rules of Visa/Mastercard restrictions and they are strictly against content tagged with those words.

Kristie,

Thank you so much for your kind review! It has been an absolute pleasure working with you from day 1 and we are very happy to have lovely models like all of you working on our platform. Keep up the great work! If you ever need anything, we are always here to help

Def going to check them out now! Thank you!

Look at me 2 years later, completely addicted to Manyvids!

Nothing to say against, totally recommend!

oh wow, they did NOT tell me this, that it could take hours. I lost money over this. I even made the video the day after the request, so definitly wasnt to late sending it. Only in the 2 last hours (after sending them mails several times about the video not processing), they said that it should be 'processing' now, wich it didnt.

Oh and the traffic is amazing, I dont advertise anywhere, dont even use twitter yet I sell sell sell
