I have noticed a large increase in 'Potentials' while using SMConnect. I admit that I dislike the format as I think we are all used to the original Flash based streaming page but the positive has been the increase in potentials. I had roughly 20-30 potentials for the better part of the day where as when using the Flash based page, I typically wouldn't go over 17.

On a positive note, I do LOVE how clear and crisp my cam looks when using SMConnect with the built in Web Encoder. It looks better than the SMBroadcast. My cam actually looks HD (as it should LOL). I did notice that I lost sound several times today while using SMConnect so I had to log off and reload everything :( Also, I did not notice a change in my placement. Those are the positive and negatives for me so far.

^^Mine just updated with the banner. I have priority placement. Yes, the SMConnect button is blue.

I am still dealing with my cold, its a bright blue button :) being sick bright white or bright colours really pop at me.

but I will use the classic and SM Cam2Cam beta until it's retired. that way by then hopefully all their kinks have been worked out.

There has been so much going on lately with SM.

I thought there was a glitch when I couldn't view my ranking this morning. In some ways it's a good thing.

I'm still not using Smconnect and see no difference in placement.

Does this mean that the amount of hours worked per month won't be taken into account with placement anymore?

We dont really know. I think their main hang up is about using the new system AND this algorithm they introduced a while back that show clients more of what they have already been searching.

If they are using time on line and how much that matters in the big picture is not really known to us so try not to get hung up on it. I think the main thing is always about how you convert!! Get that money and you get good placement!

Reading this thread and the SM Vent thread there's mainly only negative feedback about SMconnect because it still doesn't seem to be working properly. Seems like it's more trouble than it's worth. Now that they're really trying to push models to use it by plastering the banner on our login page has anyone noticed more traffic and dollars by using it.

I've been using SMConnect Web Encoder for a couple months consistently. I have experienced an increase in traffic, income, & placement (page 1 Foot Fetish & usually page 1 Main). It's been a positive for me all around despite glitches.

I will miss the ranking page too!!! It was really useful, especially for the hours and the ratings!! And I am not using the smconnect ... if the old FLME works perfectly for me...why the hell change it?? These changes suck..

You can still check your hours under REPORTS > TIME ON LINE and you can still see your ratings on SMConnect. Their message says that they will only offer SMConnect by 2020 so you might as well make the switch now cause this is what they want us to use.

lol please let me hope that I will quit by 2020 and there will be no need for me to switch to anything! haha
On a more serious and realistic note... yeah, I think I should at least give it a try. But not today, Satan/SMC...not today!

I would surely appreciate it if someone on this forum would direct me to a gold show thread somewhere in all these pages on the Streamate Thread. I could sure use some gold show instructions and advice. I am going to go through the smpodcasts this weekend. I find that people who are experienced with a techie website like SM would be able to help me figure things out better. I receive better results from SW than when I query SM support.

I watched Vanessa's early videos when I first started on SM here's her one on GS

I'm not sure if I should post here or on the Pornhub thread but have any of you guys tried connecting your SM accounts to PH and if so did you see any noticeable change in the amount of traffic? I have been thinking of it but I'm really scared because I have to turn of Geoblocking to do it. I don't really understand why either because I have my state blocked on PH lol.

I was gone from camming for 4 months and my ratings have went back to the default of 4 stars so now I am showing on page 4 and 5. I used to be on the middle to bottom of the front page ;( I am up to 7 5 stars in a week tho. Anyone know how many 5 stars I have to get before my ratings go back to 5 stars?

DeepThoughts

^^ OMG I was gone for 4 months as well and this happened to me exactly!! So I was super pushing my guys to rate me 5 stars after any show I did (I hated asking but I did) and after a few days mine went back to 5 stars. I just checked my ratings page and it was about 15 stars that I got and I was good.

I connect my SM account to my PH & have my favorite SM models on my PH profile too. It notifies me when they're on cam and I click on it and it takes/signss me into my cammodel.com member account. I've had a few guys in my room that say they're from PH
I have noticed a have a lot of members using my cammodel link. So I've recently begun watermarking all my content with it too.

I have it in my room topic that if they rate me a 5 I will send them a free video but they are leaving pvts before I can ask them to rate me, so how were u getting them to rate u? Also did u notice your placement changing a lot or going back to where u normally were after u were back to 5 stars?

https://streamatemodels.com/smratings.php

"...Once you have a minimum of five ratings, an average rating will display to users. Your star rating is an average of all your ratings in the last 90 days, and ratings older than 90 days drop off. If you have less than five ratings, you will default to 4 stars. If a single customer rates you more than once, only their most recent rating is counted."

If noone rated you less then 5 stars, you only need 5.

It takes a couple days to update. If your rating hasn't updated by the end of the week, contact support and ask them to update it.

I was in your situation more then once but I got the five ratings in the first day and it updated for me the next day. If it dosent update for you tomorrow I sugest you to contact Liz or Catalina, depend of where are you located.

You can happily work freely on streamate and earn every dollar and keep it too.

Earn 35% of every dollar you mean.

Half kidding. I love SM for this reason but I don't believe they can't give us 50%... especially off GOLD earnings.

My placement went right back to where it was. However I did also switch over to the SMC. Dont know if this will affect your placement now or not so keep that in mind. I would also suggest emailing Liz and asking her to update it for you if your desperate. She can handle it pretty fast especially if you already have 7 5 star ratings.

I've been using SMBC2C (full HD, was still "priority") and tried using SMConnect and while there are some things I don't like about it (cam on the other side than I usually have it, accessing notes is a bit clunky) I like a lot of the features and the idea of a web encoder instead of external... BUT when I tried it I seemed to have NO traffic, and hardly anyoone talking to me. A couple people said I was freezing (thought my stream health was perfect, so it was probably them) and another person said that the chat box kept disappearing. I switched back and instantly had people responding to me.

I wanna give SMConnect more of a chance but so far it hasn't been good for me... and it's hard to stick it out. Anyone have a similar experience?

ok, so today , after getting annoyed because of the low traffic, I thought I would give SMC a chance. It remains stuck in the "Please wait. This window will close once we verify your streaming connection". I guess it can't be bothered to verify my connection. Oh well, I'll take that as a sign. Back to FMLE :)

Not sure ratings average is much to worry about now. They have disappeared the ranking report now so perhaps it stopped updating because they deactivated the feature and stopped updating it before removing it?

You cant still see your star count under CUSTOMERS > RATINGS though and it shows on the home page so I think it still matters.

I am also having trouble getting ratings to update, which is frustrating since I’m back from a hiatus and am still stuck at 4 stars. It’s been about a week and I’ve messaged support, but so far no response. Right after I came back I apparently had some sort of glitch where guys weren’t even given the option to rate me, and a customer messaged me to ask about it.


I have it in my room topic that if they rate me a 5 I will send them a free video but they are leaving pvts before I can ask them to rate me, so how were u getting them to rate u? Also did u notice your placement changing a lot or going back to where u normally were after u were back to 5 stars?

I don’t offer any incentive and about half the guys leave before I can ask, but many will rate anyway. I notice an increase in traffic after a rating, so I think it does help even though my rating isn’t updating. You might be dealing with the glitch that doesn’t offer the option to rate. Try putting something in your room topic to remind them to rate you, perhaps?

ETA: I notice now you stated in your post about the room topic. I think I quoted the wrong post lol. This is why I generally avoid forums before I’ve had my coffee!

What I did was take the first minute to ask:

"Before we start, I need your help with something. I'm trying to improve. my performances. Can you leave a rating & feedback after our show?" They always say "yes".

However immediately after the show I thank them & remind once again.

Yet & still, only got 5 star ratings 1 in every 5 shows. Seems once they cum, they go dumb. LOL

ok, so today , after getting annoyed because of the low traffic, I thought I would give SMC a chance. It remains stuck in the "Please wait. This window will close once we verify your streaming connection". I guess it can't be bothered to verify my connection. Oh well, I'll take that as a sign. Back to FMLE :)
I tried...

I do as Nikki does. Turn off laptop & restart router.

Hi there!
I have very odd situation with SMConnect and SMBroadcast cam2cam Beta.
And for some reason, support can not help me with it.
Maybe someone had such problem too.
My stream goes to 720x404 each time.
But when I stream from SMBroadcast v22 everything is perfect.
I have an i5 processor ,8 GB ram. My upload speed 2,5.
What can be an issue?

the day they will be removing ratings altogether will become the camming national holiday! I know I will drink to that! :)))))

I'm pretty sure it still matters too cause even tho they removed it, I was still on page 4 and 5 today when I use to be on the bottom of page one and the top row of my category before I was gone for 4 months

that and I've also read that if they exit out wrong it doesn't give the option to rate or something like that but I also agree with them going dumb.....lol

I currently get paid by check and bank with Wells Fargo however, I have been thinking of switching to Bank of America which is who Streamate/ICF Technologies checks come from... Will there still be a wire transfer fee if I switch to BOA even if it is within the same bank?

I haven’t had this issue when someone tries to take me into paid, but my screen has been refreshing and going blank with SMconnect for the past two hours.

Incoming domestic wire transfer fees are $15 per transaction. Incoming foreign wire transfer fees are $16 per transaction.
depending where you are is the cost.

Since they removed the "My Rankings" page in favor of the new "priority placement" banner -- does this mean they are no longer considering other factors such as "hours online"?

The banner says I'm getting "priority placement" because I'm using SMBroadcast + C2C Beta, with the "classic flash page." So do I not have to worry about my placement getting dropped if I'm not working 90+ hours a month (or whatever it used to take for that ranking to be "excellent")?
