Zocku Launched to Exclusively Serve Mature Content Networks

Published Published by Doody Zocku on Tuesday 3rd February 2009 02:02am | View all blogs by Doody Zocku


Thank you to all the network owners that have established ‘mature content’ networks on SocialGO.  We are very committed to serving the needs of quality networks that feature mature content and today we announce the launch of Zocku.com.

Zocku.com will be a dedicated social networking platform and support team exclusively for Network Owners wanting to create social networks with mature content.  Zocku.com will provide their network owners with:

  • Dedicated pricing package,
  • Exclusive Zocku sub-domain,
  • Dedicated US data centre,
  • Complete white labeling,
  • Dedicated owner’s community,
  • Premium help support system and
  • Unconditional money back guarantee*

And for everyone that joins Zocku.com in February we will be giving you FREE until the end of April:

  • Free member billing,
  • Free extra bandwidth/storage,

1. If you are interested in using Zocku
Zocku will initially be available to Network Owners with existing SocialGO mature networks.  Existing SocialGO networks that wish to use the Zocku platform will be seamlessly moved over by our technical team upon successful application and initial payment.  Network Owners do not have to do anything else!

Network Owners who wish to become early adopters of Zocku.com can apply to transfer from SocialGO to Zocku by registering interest here. We will email you within 48 hours of your application to advise when your network can be transferred. 

If your network address was mynetwork.socialgo.com, it will become mynetwork.zocku.com.  But don’t worry, your old URL will redirect users for the next 3 months so you have time to let your members know.

All transfers from SocialGO to Zocku are expected to take place prior to 15 February 2009, after which SocialGO will no longer host networks with mature content that is of a sexual nature. 

2. If you are not interested in using Zocku
By providing a dedicated environment for mature content at Zocku, SocialGO will soon no longer accept networks with mature content that is of a sexual nature after 15 February 2009.  Existing SocialGO mature networks that do not wish to use the Zocku platform will have the option to purchase a full Database Export of their site content and membership data prior to a scheduled deactivation of any such network. Any deactivation of a network will only occur with reasonable notice and within a reasonable time period and never will a Network Owner be deprived of their data or content.

3. When will Zocku be open to new networks?
For the time being priority will be given to Network Owners that have already created quality mature networks on SocialGO and wish to transfer from SocialGO to Zocku.  We are planning to open Zocku to new networks from 15 February 2009.  In the meantime mature networks can continue to join SocialGO for FREE and then migrate over before 15 February 2009.

4. Will Zocku be fast and reliable?
Zocku will be a dedicated platform with its own totally dedicated  hosting infrastructure in the USA, plus a premium support team. It will be exclusively for quality Owners of mature content networks that are interested in paying for a quality service.  It will not be weighed down by network owners that are only interested in abusing the platform as free-loaders. 

5. Can Network Owners be sure they’ll get quality service?
*For your complete peace of mind we are offering an Unconditional Money Back Guarantee whereby any Network Owner that is not happy within the first month can get back everything they have paid to Zocku (excludes third party widgets) with no questions asked.

6. Why would you want to pay for Zocku?
Apart from providing a high quality service exclusively for Owners of networks with mature content, Zocku’s primary and future focus will be to develop a platform that helps Network Owners monetize their networks so they can create thriving and successful online businesses.  We have many exciting monetization tools in the pipeline.

7. How can network owners monetize their networks?

Already many Network Owners are using Member Billing to generate considerable revenues from their network, for example many networks charge members small monthly fees that more than cover any running costs.  To help all Network Owners monetize their networks we are giving away for FREE Member Billing until 30 April 2009 if you join Zocku in February.  We have also made Run Your Own Advertising standard in the Zocku package, so you can monetize your networks even further through advertising.

8. What happens with SocialGO?
Going forward SocialGO will operate as a separate platform and for the time being remain in BETA.  From 15 February 2009 SocialGO will soon no longer accept mature networks with content of a sexual nature.  In the meantime mature networks can trial SocialGO, but please bear in mind you will have to either migrate to Zocku or leave SocialGO before the cut-off date. 

9. The Zocku Pricing Plan
Zocku will provide Owners of networks with mature content with a dedicated pricing package plus options.

    Francois, life is not fair. But white label is certainly worth something and a bit more bandwith something as well - AND adult entertainment is generally labeled "high risk" by billing providers and credit card companies - and that is for a reason. Everybody seriously in this industry will understand that. thanks fosat.

    To put it in a short way, we're now being asked to pay for what is still a beta platform. For those that have paid already I'd understand why you'd be frustrated and you have all the more reason to be angry. I'm still puzzled why for $49.99 Zocku only gives 7 GB Max Storage and 70 GB Max Bandwidth. While SG's premium for $24.99 gets 5 GB Max Storage and 50 Max Bandwidth. Besides that, the only thing that Zocku is offering is white labeling and the "dedicated premium support". Still seems to not be fair for charging twice as much of SG's plan. I could understand $35 a month for the current zocku premium plan. But anyway members that are paying the high $49.99 plus tax are going to be very demanding, I'm sure you know that. I'm not complaining so please don't take it that way. I'll have to be amongst the others paying the high price but I'll do it when things are the way they should be. I'll join even sooner if I hear the widget store opens.

    I think the folks at Social Go think we are all idiots with pockets full of cash to throw at them....

    To add to what I was saying I would not mind paying that amount monthly if we had all the features we were promised and all the problems we are experiencing were completely fixed.

    I agree with what everyone is saying I had just started out with ning a month before we had to move and i gained a lot of members for that one month and lost about half of them when we had to move now this has came about and now I feel that I may loose them all. Now I'm saying that we should have a trial period until you all get everything under control. It makes no since to pay 50 a month and I only have 500+ members that barely use my site because the main feature I was promoting I no longer have which is the a/v chat room, and I can not integrate it with socailgo nor are you offering it. As well as drop n drag and other features that you all say that you have been working on for the past two months and nothing has been done. This is something that you all need to really think about with the merger we are not getting anything new and no guarantees about anything as well as the billing issue that everyone is talking about.

    I understand your pricing plan and in general I don't have a problem with it but I hope you understand this; I know you have control over both Socialgo and Zocku Networks. I WILL NOT pay one penny for my site http"//dayplayerfriends.socialgo.com until I know you have a good Billing Agent in place. I am moving forward with my site as if this will happen so at the time I will be ready for it. In the mean time if you choose to delete my site from Socialgo I WILL NOT come back later.

    @Cjack - The $49.99 a month charge we're now introducing is the charge for the use of the platform, the bandwidth used, the storage used, the support given... We're simply giving the $19.99 member billing away for free as an added bonus!

    Hey Monty, I'd say your investment is going down with every day that passes.

    Jerry Zocku you say you are giving us free billing until may 1 so you have time to sort out an alternative member billing provider. Why should we pay you $50 a month until then? You can't sell a lemon unless you find a sucker. I would like to junp at this but I wonder if you guys really know what you are doing on the business side of this. Also I don't see any answers coming from you
