I guess I read this wrong then "I personally prefer to have long exclusives with customers who have the fantasy of meeting and dating" I was only pointing out that if they dont realize it's a fantasy and think you are serious, they can report you to SM. Was just trying to be nice, geesh

Did anyone else get the troll with the hearts? Made me about lose it. I guess this could go in another thread but since it was on streamate...guy comes in, named trolololo or some shit, I made a joke about the name, starts sending me a bajillion hearts. I check in the other laptop and I'm still coming across to the people watching, but it crashes my browser. I close out, restart countdown (I'd been about to go to gold was PISSED) and none of the original people come back. I start getting close, guy named .... comes in, does the same shit (same guy obvs), just enough to where I get an error "cpu overloaded" and my chat is in black and white. Leaves. I keep going with my countdown. He comes back AGAIN with the second username, sends them until it cancels out my goldshow and all the guys are like O.o

I tell them stay in my room, I'm going to log off and close out and reopen but I'll be back in one minute. They do, bless their hearts, and I go to gold at only halfway with 8 minutes on the clock.

I felt so fucking helpless. I couldn't ban him because my shit would freeze up and I was beyond mad and he fucked up shows for me. It took me like 40 minutes of shit. I almost logged off for the night. I was about to cry in free chat.

Is it a guy who posts some weird link? I've gotten the link guy, but what's dumb is, I'm always in classic chat so no one can see.

What I do, to catch trolls (and this is really funny) is... Okay so every person who gets a show with me or is overly annoying, I leave a note for. I put their username. Trolls often change their username. So when they come back in with a new name and start acting normal (which happens lol), I know who they are.

I couldn't ban him because he didn't stay long enough or because my browser was frozen when he was in. I didn't think to screenshot, I should've. If he'd just been rude, that would've been really whatever, but he wasted 40 minutes of my time and my customers' time with me having to close out just to cope. Was so mad. I'm glad no one else got him, but if you see those usernames, ban on site.

Ooh the username note is a really good idea. But I really wanted to commiserate on the link dude. It's a link to a porn site or something with hearts around it? I kept getting him one day and it was annoying but it also cracked me up because like you I'm always in classic chat. Dude wasted like an hour of his day just spamming ME with his stupid link.

right but shouldn't they ban the IP addy for doing stuff like that? use the chat logs get the IP and ban it from SM ?

I've sent CS a request to ban a member for me and they did. You do have to know the exact username to ban them though.

Hopefully. I can't decide if I feel better or worse knowing I was his only target. I just emailed CS and told them the story, but he had a confusing username (how many "lo"s? how many dots?) so I'm not sure they'll be able to help.

As an aside, I had some guy come in saying, "can we text XXX-XXX-XXXX," can I get in trouble for that alone?

Was it penguin that penalized them? And if so, shouldn't we have felt that a while ago in 2012 when google did a whole sweep and a ton of falsely top sites went belly up? That doesn't make sense to me unless SM's sites were ALL SEOed completely wrong. They should know better, and the affiliates and white labels should too. They full well know that gaining PR the wrong way will cause google to remove your site or at least push it way down in rankings. I'm confuzzled.

I've heard that Google has been giving out manual penalties but I am still mildly surprised to hear that it actually ended up hitting SM clones.

SEO ain't what it used to be.

I have actually visited quite a few Google offices. They are a lot of fun. One of them actually had a slide so you can slide down it instead of taking the stairs.

As a side note, every time I've visited and had shortbread it has always sucked.
So Google, if you are reading this. Please fix the shortbread thing. LOL!

If they ask you to text them and send you a number to text, you will not be in trouble for that. I see that happening a lot.

^^I'd guess Christa or someone she knows has an sm whitelabel and received a manual penalty, which comes with a written notification.

whitelabels are only one source of traffic among many though, this sucks for the webmasters but it's not a death knell for sm

Well she has said she is an affiliate, but I wasn't sure if that equals direct knowledge. I also wasn't aware that the sites affected would be notified of penalties. Makes sense though. And I agree: not ALL whitelabels should/will be penalized. Seems like only the ones breaking Google's rules.



im kinda wondering too but didnt wanna put the newbie on the spot :/

When someone makes what seems to be an educated guess, I don't usually ask where they got their info. I take it or leave it. But if someone seems to be claiming to have knowledge absolute, I don't really feel like I'm putting them on the spot by asking for their source. Camming Connection is like the wild west of conjecture, speculation & conspiracy theories :) and it's so much better when we can have confirmed sources.

So should we be worrying about this effecting traffic at all ? SM traffic has been pretty low recently it would suck to have the white labels that do must of the adverting for SM stop showing up in the search engines

^^the thing about whitelabels is, they're all essentially identical, if the search engines find something wrong with one whitelabel (that's built into the structure of the whitelabel) it makes sense that all of them would be hit. The same thing happpened a little while back with LJ whitelabels.

A whitelabel owner can receive manual penalties for reasons unrelated to the template of the wl (blackhat seo, etc) so one person's experience isn't a definitive answer either way. If a whole bunch of sm wl owners are reporting it though, chances are it's structural. Granted this is still anecdotal, but anyone here have one?

we own several white labels of streamate and they were all hit. I checked with other owners and its the same story. google posted a message about this to each domain's webmaster tools. so unfortunately it is a big deal. I cant really guess what % of traffic was coming from google to these sites, some, like pornhublive.com- probably very little. but others, like sexcams.com which rely mostly on google, quite a lot. my guess would be anywhere from 5-10% of traffic across the board. the problem is that it was very GOOD traffic. people looking for keywords like 'sex cams' 'live cams' 'live sex' etc.

not just streamate. all of the camsites whitelabels are going to be affected. google likes unique content...whitelabels are basically spam in google's eyes....so im assuming there will be a jump in pay per signups, and maybe even tube traffic...dating traffic may be hindered too...because a lot of 'dating site' splash pages are the same affiliate content being pushed around thus = spam and dinged by google. affiliates will have to be smarter about how to they push their traffic...ie - no more lazy marketing on their part.

what happened with streamate and manwin tubes - wasn't there some sort of issue or that streamate was dropped from tube traffic because they couldn't come to an agreement?

Has anyone ever had the geoblocking fail?

I have Florida blocked but had a guy in my room tell me he's there. Of course, there's the possibility that he's lying for some reason, but is there another explanation?

Geoblocking doesn't work.

If they are coming from a whitelabel or using a proxy or going to Streamate.com (or cammodels, cant remember which one...so its iether this way or reversed) he can still see you. Or if you are a tube site popup anyone can see you.

Geoblocking is pretty much useless IMO

Well, so far it looks like it's for the worst.
I wonder a lot lately where are they coming from, those few members, or why they aren't coming at all, when the room count is 0 for a few minutes at the end of page 1.
I will try to ask each and every member privately in a saved text next time and you should too but,
i hear a few models talking in free chat ( top models at that ) about member names being actually bots in their room, created by the site to make seem there is still traffic, but they do not spend or talk at all. I dont say i believe it, I mean how could i without proof, but i wouldn't put it past the site who is really suffering for traffic, to try not to loose their top models, and fake traffic, it's very doable.

And i wonder sometimes in busier rooms, of how much of the traffic present must be model created member accounts, lurking to see, how the others are doing, and if that gold show is going to happen etc.

ive heard this thru someone on here in pm about the bots to its to make the models talk to seem busy so other ppl hear her talking and are more enticed to buy a show with her not to trick us into thinking theres more traffic then there is so we dont wondering off to another camsite. i wish they wouldnt do that tho - it pisses me off when u get ppl who say hi then leaves right away i hear those are the bots. its discouraging rather then encouraging and i get them the most on slow days so maybe theyre some sort of alogirythem based on total sales and real traffic throughout the site or the performer individually
