hi, gals. SM uploaded a pretty dumb recording of me everywhere, including liveviolet. do you know if it's possible to remove it, since it's the third result when i google my performer name? i had my geo block inactive back then.
If it's on LiveViolet just give up now. They never responded to my repeated attempts to get my first ever TS Gold Show removed from there, only site to ignore my DMCA as well.

That's just my point though when it comes to the algorithm. Support told me over and over that I couldn't 'rise up the ranks' as I use wifi internet not hardwired and my stream wasn't good enough. Yet some professional lighting and a few thousand dollars in their pockets within a week, later and suddenly I'm top of the pack - with my same shit internet.
Sounds like preferential treatment to me and just because it happens to be in my favour doesn't make it any less wrong. I feel they held me back because I was a medium level earner but as soon as they think I'll make them some cash it's like come on in you are now one of us! It's just wrong and now I have to maintain that level of earnings to keep my spot or fall back down again. What about all the ladies that have been on the site for years, earned their spot and then a somewhat newbie like me comes along and claims it?!
I am not ungrateful and by joe I need the dollars but the system is unfair to others.
You upgraded your lighting and started making more money? Sounds like the quality of your stream improved and now customers are converting faster than before. Placement is based on how many new signups you receive. Sounds like you've been getting a lot of them therefore you got a boost.
Basically new customers are more important to companies than customer retention. So they put people who convert well front and center. Now just because someone is placed high that doesn't mean they're making tons of money. That model may be doing turn and burn type shows. Or goldshows. Lots of new sign ups but not much money earned.
I think this is why there are some models sitting up high but are wondering where the money is. And then there are others who are lower placement making more money on regulars and longer shows. Sounds like things arw working out for you: new customers who are spending more than just a few bucks. That's great and I don't see the conspiracy in that? Enjoy the wave. Keep up the good vibes so members continue to sign up and spend money. Just because things are working out doesn't make it unfair. In theory using wifi isnt the best idea but its not impossible to make money with it. Besides the people from SM support have been known to give non-answers because they either don't know or aren't allowed to say.

No they are new customers which is the root of my confusion. My regulars have been in hiding the past week yet I had my best week ever on SM, it doesn't quite compute. I've had a few PM's from ladies who have experienced an increase in earnings during this uncertain time so it's not just me. Thank you for seeing I didn't post in malice or for bragging rights Snowy.
I believe Mare might be right about preferential treatment at times as I went from second row (being told by support my internet wasn't strong enough using wifi to move up despite high earnings) to the first box of the site in under 4 days. Now THAT doesn't make any sense. I understand SM putting you in plain sight if you earn them money but a jump like that isn't right or normal.
I've also seen some questionable things on Twitter regarding certain models being compensated for lost gold shows when they are thrown off the servers. That is preferential treatment of the highest order. Basically if you make SM a lot of dough then they will bend over backwards for you... if not struggle on. It's not right!!!
I had the same thing. Havent been on there in a couple of weeks so things may have changed but yeah, number 1 spot after just a couple of days using smb. Re preferential treatment it definitely goes on, I notice it all the time on AW- a set of girls will do really well then it will switch, then back again.
Ps is the webcam issue fixed now? Cammed the last 2 nights on multiple sites and didn't have an issue on any of them.

Since we're on the topic of placement... This post is all about how F4F calculates placement. Some, all, or none of this might apply to the SM placement algorithm. I don't know.
While I'm not sure I'd really recommend F4F to anyone, I love that they provide nearly exact calculations on everything that goes into your placement. I realize that SM and F4F have their own proprietary algorithms, but I assume that they value similar things, so I consider the F4F placement model to be instructive. I think it can possibly give some insight into the factors that cam sites actually value (as opposed to SM, which just tells us to work a bunch and have 5 stars and an awesome stream, but keeps the rest of the equation secret).
Some of the minor things they count aren't relevant to SM, but F4F does take into account: earnings over the past week, how many hours (above 10) you've broadcast in the past week, number of conversions in the past week, your average hourly earnings over the lifetime of your account, and your video quality. You also get small boosts for having an HD profile photo, your number of favorites, and the number of guys that get notified when you log on (as far as I know, none of those factor in to the SM placement equation, but we don't really know).
What's really interesting is how the major factors are weighted. For example, F4F gives you 2 points for every dollar spent in your room. They give you 250 points for every new conversion. In other words, every new conversion, before he even spends anything, is worth $125 spent by existing customers. Most of the time my placement boost from conversions is roughly equal to my boost from earnings, simply because they are weighted so heavily.
They also give you 250 points for every hour above 10 hours/week that you spend actively broadcasting (not on break), so theoretically you get a nice bump from working more. It's a grueling site, so you definitely have to be tough to get many of those points, lol!
The one bit of math that isn't fully explained on F4F is the boost you get for your lifetime hourly average. Basically, it says that you receive a bump to make your placement score similar to other models with the same lifetime hourly average. In other words, I could be having a shitty week, getting very few points for earnings or conversions, but if I have a solid history of good earnings, they'll still place me pretty high. Right now, it accounts for 94% of my entire placement score on F4F, so hourly average is a really big deal!
F4F also gives you a 10% increase on your total score if your video quality is high enough. That's nothing to sneeze at, but if your score otherwise sucks, that 10% won't help you much.
TLDR: Lessons from the F4F placement algorithm, which may or may not apply to SM:
1) On F4F, having a history of good hourly earnings is enormously important. If you are historically a good earner, your placement won't suffer much even during a shitty earnings period. If you have a long history of good earnings, it will take a lot of shitty days to decrease your average and mess up your placement.
2) Earnings in the past 7 days also matter. If you haven't earned much in the past, but you're having a great week, that can temporarily bump your placement.
3) New conversions are very valuable to your placement - so valuable that it's quite possible to get more points for recent conversions than from recent earnings.
4) A high quality stream is frosting on the cake. It boosts your score by 10%, so it will give a high earner an edge, but if you have low earnings and conversions, the best stream on earth won't save your placement.
TLDR Part 2 - My Point: Based on the info provided by F4F, my personal observations, and the info that Katy Boleyn has given us in the past, I would guesstimate that at least 80% of your placement on SM depends on some combination of (in suspected order of importance): your hourly average (historical and recent), your conversion rate, and your total earnings (recent and maybe historical). Honestly, 80% is my low estimate, but realistically I suspect it's higher. I think the factors on the "My Rankings" page do influence your placement, but only by maybe a page or so.
I have no idea if there's any additional special preference. It's possible that specialty white labels (BBW, Ebony, MILF, etc.) would boost models that fit their targeted demographic, but on the main site and generic white labels, it only makes sense to rank models by their estimated ability to bring the site $$.

Placement is definitely based on earnings/conversions. My placement always goes up after a day of making a lot of money in a shorter amount of time. Like yesterday, I made my daily goal (which usually takes me 6+ hours to make) in about 2.5 hours. Today, my placement is higher than some of the ladies that were above me yesterday. So, after making sure your stats are all in the "excellent" range then making more money in a shorter amount of time will definitely help your placement. It's actually pretty simple. No one is getting special treatment...some girls are just better at selling than others.

as much as i would like this to be true because it makes sense....it doesnt work like that for me..i have had weeks i have made a ton in like no time and others i made barely anything compared and my placement tends to stay the same. it does randomly jump up from time to time tho as long as i am working consistent hours. but its not like a gradual thing.....kinda annoying because i would be more motivated to work if my placement grew by how well i was doing day by day

Ive gotten 12 messages THIS WEEK looking for genuine meet ups... I dont mean, like... taking their best shot with a cam girl meet ups, they genuinely think Im looking for a date. One said "Interested in dating outside of the US"... There would be no need to phrase a message like that unless they had met a advertisement offering us up as single and looking. Its never been such a dense pack of offline date offers before. I wouldnt mind if these people spent money, but so far ive seen most of them in freechat, some setting days at a time, and not ONE has spent a single gold. Whatever, back to "I dont meet strangers, maybe if you get to know me in exclusive over time we can discuss it further"... Which i hate doing.

How do you know what everyone else around you has made? And I agree, it's not always an immediate jump...sometimes it takes a week or so of making more money and putting in more hours for your placement to be effected. And I believe there is a hard reset of placement every month or so. I'm just explaining how my placement jumped up after a day of making more money in a small amount of time. I don't know what everyone around me is making, but I did notice that I jumped above them after that day. There are so many different factors that go in to placement, it's too hard to figure out what everyone else's stats are compared to ours.
I don't know if I would call it preferential treatment as much as I would call it placement being primarily affected by how much $$ the girls make. I am not sure why so many chicks seem to think that the kind of money we average could in no way have to do with our placement and like to think it's solely about our stats in the rankings section, especially because the former would make the most sense business-wise. Wouldn't you want the chicks who make your site the most money to be the most visible ones?
I also don't think your placement jump is suspicious like Dynomite said, I move around all the time and there's times where I'll be working with 1800+ girls and have good placement and times where I'll have worse placement when working with 1300 girls. I think it depends on how many girls you're working with that out-earn you.
My placement has been the same for months and I guarantee I outearn no-one. I have great placement. I'm pretty sure you've all seen me bitching in the camming sucks thread. I'm not a pornstar and I shag no one at sm.

I'm not sure all those do count for much. I hopped on briefly again last night and again was in number 1 spot. I haven't earned a penny on SM in the last month and have only crammed on there for 10 mins max. When I was new I went straight to number 1 after a few days and I had only done about 12 hours. I think what did it for me was because I charged 14.99 per min and was getting mainly exclusives so I earned a high amount in a short time. I also switched to using SMB with a dedicated logitech c920 and added a small extra light in front of me. Bam, straight up there!

Even if SM did have a transparent camscore, I don't think it would matter. There are only so many factors you can control when it comes to being successful on any site. In the end, you can get lucky or you can make it work by working long hours. Success is combination of work and luck. There really is no shortcut if you want to succeed. If you work 40 hours a week, you're pretty much guaranteed some kind of success. The most successful Twitch/YouTube streamers are those that work long hours consistently and they have it a lot harder than cam girls in a way since they can't really market that they are doing it for the money or have a tip menu.

Yeah it always drove me crazy that full time youtubers/twitch people can't act like they do it as their job to make money. "Yeah I work 40 hours a week on this for fun and it's a hobby" is what cheapasses wanna hear. Get real there's bills to pay and fun things to be done when you have money and time for it.
I wish I had the work ethic to do 40 hours a week on cam. I mean 30 is doable most weeks but some reason I just don't do 40s with this job. I think it might be because I'm really not a people person and a few of these guys seem to be phenomenally shitty people to have to deal with.

Hey Ginger it's not really possible for anyone to give you an average as it really varies. Some girls make very little while others are banking, then the next night their roles are reversed. The only way to ensure you make decent money on a regular basis is to split cam, charge high rates, and show up regularly! As you probably figured out from my ranting earlier tonight in chat I have pretty high expectations for my own earnings, and while I sometimes find it frustrating not to earn what i want in the TIME that i want (I.e. as quickly as possible), i usually meet my goals though i may have to turn on more sites and stay on longer. Whack those rates up and try out a few other sites x
Oh and guys, sorry for the newb question (again) but what's the best way to deal with SM when you get shows on multiple other sites? I usually try and persuade them into paid saying im about to get naked, then shut it down or go on a break if they're not playing ball, but it's really inconvenient. Is there like a way to go on a break but show up like im in a private they can join?

yes, 1 pc is fine. download split cam or many cam to like "clone" ur cam and it depends what sites u split. some u can pause, some u might need to log off , some have a paid only section you can go into.
if ur new def just try to add one to split at a time or it can be overwhelming, then add more sites when u get comfortable splitting

05-18-2017, 07:01 PM
Just an FYI with the external show feature (which does sound pretty awesome - I love the forced private ability on some other sites): It's supposed to be VERY vulnerable to hacking.
As far as I know, someone with a paid membership site (like Model Centro) can let her members watch shows for free. That's what the feature is really meant to do. Your paid site members would appear in your chat with a GREEN screen name. If you do NOT have an external site linked to SM, but you see guys in paid chat with a green screen name, they came in through a "back door" and aren't paying. Supposedly it isn't exactly uncommon, so watch out for it.
Note: This isn't something I know about first hand, but it's been mentioned on the forum repeatedly in the past. If someone knows more about it, or if the problem has been fixed, hopefully they'll speak up! ETA: Yes, the link in PGD's post below is perfect!
Here's what SM officially says about the external show feature (mostly unrelated to the green screen names, but they are mentioned): https://streamatehelp.com/external-site-show-ess/

Thank you ladies. So do any of you currently use this feature in the way that I propose to?
Yes, if you get a show on another site while splitting then you just switch that to "on" and it puts you in a forced private. Members on Streamate can enter and pay your private price to watch. You'll get a lot of peepers though, so be forewarned. I don't split cam but I use the feature if someone is irritating me and hanging out in my free chat too long chatting. I'll take myself private just to get rid of them and then go back to free once they leave lol. I have gotten members who enter and actually stay for a show though. I've only had the green names pop in once while in a forced private and then I just booted him and re-entered my free chat so he couldn't peep. I do have a website linked but I never do live shows through there and I know my members usernames. The hackers are always named "Guest###".

How do you turn the external show option on? I have it and it's turned off but it won't let me turn it on?

Sounds like they haven't activated it for you if you can't turn it on. Mine let's me turn it on and off freely as long as I'm not already in a private chat with a customer.

Those of you that are also having problems with their bitrate dropping, is it changing at all, like going back up some and then dropping again like it did the last time there was a problem? Or has it just dropped and stayed there without changing?
Like with mine right now, it was 1472 and has dropped to 122 and is NOT going back up at all, its just staying right there!
Last time when there was a problem with bitrate it would bounce up and down but not this time I tried resetting my modem but didn't change anything and now my placement is FUCKED. I was on front page around middle and now I am at the top of the second page and barely getting anyone in my room

For Girly girl : after the placement drops due to who knows what, it takes a while to go back up. For me its anywhere from 10-30 minutes to 1 hour or more. I personally think they rotate models on bad servers sometimes. Or maybe their servers drop and they don't even know or care until they see loss of money coming in.

Ive never seen my bitrate act like this tho, its been at 122 exactly for 2 or 3 days now. Ever since I seen it drop, it has not changed at all to where in the past I would see it go back up like you mentioned. I am just trying to figure out if its happening to other models or if its something on my end:(
Update*
Now my frames per sec just went from 33 to a BIG FAT 0 and my placement went to bottom of page 4 when I used to be in the middle of page 1.........WTF:banghead::banghead::banghead:

Thank you ladies. So do any of you currently use this feature in the way that I propose to?
Susie, I think I'll join you with this experiment. I'm much more of an exclusive show type of girl, and I mostly get 1-on-1 shows on the sites I split with, so I don't see myself "abusing" the feature. It's really nice to have the option just in case, though.
I did a tiny test run, and it appears that turning on the external show throws you into private - so far, so good. Don't want my pussy out in free chat by accident.

this happened to be a lil while ago too. I think it might have been my internet ( I dont have proof ). Just imagine if your internet drops for a few minutes, the softwear " thinks" you are using Above with the lowest settings ( meaning lowest internet speed) so it kicks u really down. Maybe call your internet provider to ask if they are experiencing connection drops? Or just tell them ( even if you're not sure ) that you are experiencing connection drops and you demand them to look into it and to fix it.

Sorry not been on for a while but thank you the ladies who gave helpful advice. It would seem that it is just because I have better lighting and am a killer hustler... who knew?!
I will continue to rock it out on the first row or box whatever happens that day without guilt or comment and not look a gift horse in the mouth. Special thanks to PGD and MH who helped me understand the magical mystery of placement better.

Hey everyone,
I experienced a quite annoying glitch during my goldshows today.. If a member pledged e.g 10$ for my GS (written on my chat screen that "XY member has pledged 10$ for your gold show") it appeared as 6.99$ on my countdown and also appeared on my earnings later this lower amount x 35%. Has anyone else ever experienced similar to this before? I'm quite confused about it..

Yes, I have had that happen. I think it is because they are in a different country and the currency conversion rate.

Yeah, once you get five ratings, it'll display your average again.
