MacAndBumble.com Search Engine Spammer #1
MacAndBumble.com now has some new search engine spam pages, that is tricking users and abusing the search engines. I was searching for information on "Radka Docekalova" a Czech model, at the top misleading search engine on the planet, yes Google.com off course, when I saw the below entry as one of the very top on the first result page, and keep in mind that the link leads to a page that has ABSOLUTELY no information on Radka Docekalova! And they have hundreds like them, equally bullshit crap with no valuable information.
Radka Docekalova Nude at Mac and Bumble - Free nude pictures ... Radka Docekalova at Mac and Bumble. Free nude pictures, videos, wallpaper and more! ... Welcome to the official free Radka Docekalova picture and video site. ... http://www.macandbumble.com/models/R...ocekalova.html - 21k - Cached - Similar pages What is going on with MacAndBumble.com, are they totally braindead? One thing is that web criminals and snake oil salesmen is doing these dirty tricks by filling searching engines with freaking crap, and misleading users, hoping that really stupid people might buy something from them after they tricked them into coming to their website, but a "well-renowned" adult website like MacAndBumble.com? I simply don't get it, do they really except to make a sale when presenting such false pages. |

Do you want the job done right, or do you want it done fast?

Also they don't like to be pronoted on sites having "porn" on pages or domain name. Sometime, I asked them to provide access for reviewing on PornInspector and my request was denied, coze we have "porn" in domain name. ;-)
Also, low conversion ratio level order me to think about problems with transactions processing or shaving...

Hi Kit, actually they have now added "hardcore" themselves.
And you're right, they're conversion rates are not as good as they have been. I don't think (hope) they are actually skimming, but they are actively competing with all affiliates by spamming the search engines like they do. I would even go further by saying that they are demoting their brand name and reputation by their spamming, not only for affiliates but most certainly for surfers who end up on their "catch-all" pages, containing misleading links. I remember once upon a time I was a "normal" porn surfer, and I would surely be turned away by pages such as the one I started this thread with. After having clicked on a few links on that page, that is misleading me a stray, I would simply not trust them enough to become a member. |

Maybe their conversions went in the toilet and they are doing whatever it takes now?
They also don't make it easy for affiliates. When I joined they made you send in a photocopy of your license - which I never got around to. Hmm. They have a new tour and are asking about payout structure: http://www.bumblecash.com/stats.php They do have great content, does anyone do very well with them? |

Just checked my stats with them.
This month so far: Total 6951(raw) 5254(unique) 3(trials) 1:1751 $45.00 0(full) N/A N/A 0(annual) N/A N/A 3 1:1751 $45.00 So you can see my ratio is not to good, and they are claiming that their new "Blue Layout" is a better converter. They used to much do better for me. I would have published my figures from the same period last year for comparison, but data at Bumblecash is now not avaiable. Not even from the whole of last month?!? I guess I am wasting my time with them... |

I think the new tour sucks....IMO.
I was literally moving my cursor all over the page to see what he fuck was clickable. Seems like they are not showing any teaser pics.... It was annoying to see what looked like a lot of stuff should be clickable, to get to SOME sort of teaser pics, but nothin'. Oh, well. |

MacAndBumble.com has upped the ante, or should I say lowered themselves, to even more search engine spamming!
It used to be that they created thousands upon thousands of model search engine pages, but at least those models were on their site. Now they have created tons of pages with model NOT on their site, now completely DECEIVING potential members! Google search: "plenty uptopp" biography I just emailed them this: Mac and Bumble, I am a very concerned about your deceptive marketing behavior, creating search engine spam pages with models that are NOT on M&B! Example: http://www.macandbumble.com/maxglamo...ty_uptopp.html And that page then contains 5 other links to Plenty UpTopp pages, 99.99% similar containing absolutely no useful information about Plenty UpTopp! Do you people really expect potential members to be happy after they join and find out that Plenty UpTopp is NOT on the website? As for me I would call my bank reversing the charges immediately! And what about us webmasters, affiliates promoting MacAndBumble? Do you really think you are doing us a favor, or yourself for that matter? You know I would except this sort of scamming/spamming behavior from dishonest webmasters, but not from MacAndBumble who I thought was of a higher standards! I am very disappointed with you people, and I will have to include a warning in my review of your website, and lower your rating, as I am an honest webmaster!
