Logging in using pc instead of mac for the first time: trying to figure out the changes. Can anyone point me in the direction of discussions of cpu usage, setting up the aw download. I've been running off the streaming version of jci for years and this thing is double dutch to me. Plus everything looks horrible on a non retina display/new logitech c920. :(

If you go into justcamit and click 'help', you'll find useful info.

Go to my details, edit profile on the drop down list, webcam, edit directcam settings, justcamit settings (at bottom), download justcamit. I use the max bitrate and 30fps, image size I vary...depends on your internet speed and works for you not to have the FPS in red.

I have to adjust the settings for my c920 each time.

AW has a bounce rate of 952.46% That's insane. I have never seen that before. So something is wrong with the site and is turning people away quickly. They're not gaining new customers regularly like a site should. I understand people are loyal to the site. I've used it for years and can still manage to make a nice chunk of money there each month. But its gone down. Many of my guys have found me on other sites. Sometimes they may ask me to log into aw because my rates are the lowest there.

I got this from a site I like to read a lot.

The Bad and the Ugly

A bounce rate below 20% or over 90% is usually a bad sign. The former hints at a problem with the analytics setup, the latter with the website. The only times I saw those ranges in this study were on sites with broken analytics implementations.
The Bad: Over 90 Percent

Everybody’s bouncing! Horrible, right? That’s spot on most of the time. Something is scaring people off—it could be bad design, browser compatibility issues, or even a horribly disfigured tracking code. Maybe it’s time to move off of geocities.

Or perhaps this is a single page website without any content, links, or event tracking/virtual pageviews. In which case, it is probably time to start working on creating a real website.

Thank you for this info. Can you tell me how to understand and read things like that please? I have long theorised that AW won't pay for the next level of service from justcamit, which means they dimply do not have the bandwith capabilities to be able to cope with all the new girls, and all their associated customers who are trying to enter shows, especially group shows. They also can't cope with the newer forms of accessing cam like from a phone or tablet. They simply refuse to spend any money on the camming side of things, either for advertising or for improving their software. This results in a huge amount of guys being booted from our cam rooms as soon as they enter, being unable to get into group shows, being unable to access from a phone etc.

Basically Chaturbate is kicking everyone's ass.

You can't compare AW to any of the free sites. If it dies or is dying, it is not the free sites killing it, it's something else (AW themselves imo). AW guys have long had the choice of cheaper or free camgirls, more extreme, less fetish, more choice etc, and they choose to stay put. But you're right in that very few new guys are joining, certainly not enough to balance out all the new girls over the last two years.

Those comparisons are based on the numbers. Not personal taste or ideologies. The numbers. Why those numbers are occurring is where personal opinions come in. Some of us may be a bit more knowledgeable on the topic. But that's argumentative. I posted those not to say Hey Streamate is better. Because uhm yea look at whats happening right now and to be honest this has been an issue for me on SM for months now. I showed those comparisons so that people could see the numbers. AW is not retaining it's traffic or generating new traffic. But the other camsites freesites or token based are doing a better job of making themselves seen.

And I have no idea how many new girls there are in the last 2 years? No clue. AW is the only site where I don't pay attention that. I never check to see how many are in private either. I just log on and wait. I may send out a tweet. But that's it. I need to condition myself to do this on other sites as well.

I remember I put up a thread somewhere with similar stats on Chaturbate versus all the other sites and someone pointed out that the reason why CB has such high numbers is due to the fact that it is a newer site so signups are more constant whereas all the other sites eg. Streamate already have a large, established customer base so the sign ups are much less frequent.

2 years ago there were about 340 girls on during the daytimes and 500 ish in the evenings. Now there are 450 - 500 daytimes and 650 in the evenings. it's an absolute jungle thanks to the HORRIBLE documentaries and the idiot girls who appear in them, the UK has gone wild about camgirls and now everyone wants to be one!

omg! all is revealed! no wonder I couldn't find it as Macs don't really use right click. there I was staring at the download, thinking wtf?? Running two machines at the mo, one with my old logitech 9000 the other with the C920 - even with adjustment the C920's colour is NOTHING in comparison to the old cam. meh!!

Was the 9000 really that great? I think that's the only one I don't have? And I could use a second model for splitcamming. 2 c920's are still problematic on my desktop.

I found 9000 to be horrible.Bought one before c910.And then I bought c920.I dont have now the 9000 as I returned it but if 910 is pixelated /low res in comparision with 920 imagine how bad 9000 is.Of course depends on anyone's taste and aw guys are not used with sm high def vid so a 9000 is ok for that one.For a c920 u clealy need great light set up so u can get perfect colors and crystal clear vid.c920 and bcc950 are the best but if you dont have the proper lights they will look washed out too.

Each of the webcams look different with different laptops. I haven't tried my c910 again but it was barely usable on my partner's laptop and on my old one, I couldn't get the settings to make it look remotely usable. My c920 is much sharper than my 9000 (which died after a fall during filming), but the 9000 had better distance focus.

I bet you can probably pick one up cheaply as it's a long ago model, the down side (I guess depending on your laptop and internet) is that the 9000 is slower, the C920 has an internal processor which can make it run faster (twice as fast on my mac, no diff on my pc).

I'm running two cams, two diff laptops - my 9000 looks lush, always has, and with the right amount of lighting I find it is crystal clear. Have had guys remark of how sharp the cam feed is.

C920 - still fiddling about with the damn thing, urgh.

I'm with you there. I use a Logitech Quickcam pro 5000, a late 2006 model. I bought a Lifecam Studio and the C920 in the last couple of years, but nothing beats my old model. It doesn't have much to do with the clarity or definition, because even the old 2006 cam can broadcast in full HD, but upstream bandwidth is the limiting factor.

To get your image looking the way you like it, the best thing to do is get a 3rd party app which holds all the settings exactly where you want them and saves them in a ini file... then you can easily transfer the settings from one computer to another. If your cam software or computer crashes (this has happened and I lost my settings), you don't need to spend a lot of time trying to get your settings back.

The old cam's best feature is ease of use while doing a show. It's very easy to work with compared to the newer cams, which are mainly designed to sit stationary on top of the monitor. When my old cam finally died, after 7 years, I ordered 2 more used ones on eBay LOL. Never say die!

I was on for about four hours yesterday morning and made a grand total of £60.10 so it seems like it was quiet. I have never been on in the day before and it wouldn't let me pay for placement so I have no idea of that is normal or not ladies? I bought a load of new toys because I kept getting asked for them and never had to take my clothes off funny how it goes isn't it? Do we think it is because its the end of the month?

Apologies in advance if this has been asked recently - and my searching this thread was woefully inadequate.

Can anyone tell me the best contact for AdultWork? I tried signing up yesterday but to my surprise, I got an email message informing me that my profile had been removed because they " have received a number of member complaints that the pictures you have uploaded don't belong to you and/or have been taken from some other site/profile without permission."

So rather perplexed, I'm trying to get to the bottom of this. Hopefully, it's a technical glitch. Worse, there were malicious complaints made in the space of 6 hours (???!!)

I think they are verified as they buy credits with a credit card or calling a +18 number(if I remember well).If it's just about being age verified just untick the box in your profile where you allow only verified members to see your cam until he'll fix his issues.Or get him to do skype booking.It can be another issue as well,I don't know why but one of the guys I brought from sm also couldn't access my directcam given some error and aw stuff in help center wasn't helpfull at all.But I got him to do skype booking and that is 70% so better than directcam.

Basically Chaturbate is kicking everyone's ass.

SexySusie this is the post that has the comparisons in it it. The first link is about AW alone. http://www.similarweb.com/website/adultwork.com

But something is definitely off with the site. Because on the 8/22 when I read that data it was showing a bounce rate of 952.46%. Its showed this number on both Alexa and Similiar web. Higher than I've ever seen. Now with a new update it's went in the complete opposite direction. 9.52% on today 8/28 It could have been a matter of a misplaced decimal? Both sites get their stats from google.

Either way an extremely high bounce rate is not a good thing. AW may not have a tracking code throughout the site. I'm willing to bet they do not. Lack of keywords and eye catching ads on the landing page could be another reason. That website is a hot mess. I don't want to derail the thread much longer. Send me a pm if you have a question. I would see it faster.

This info I posted before about bounce rates:

The Bad and the Ugly

A bounce rate below 20% or over 90% is usually a bad sign. The former hints at a problem with the analytics setup, the latter with the website. The only times I saw those ranges in this study were on sites with broken analytics implementations.
The Bad: Over 90 Percent

Everybody’s bouncing! Horrible, right? That’s spot on most of the time. Something is scaring people off—it could be bad design, browser compatibility issues, or even a horribly disfigured tracking code. Maybe it’s time to move off of geocities.

Or perhaps this is a single page website without any content, links, or event tracking/virtual pageviews. In which case, it is probably time to start working on creating a real website.

Ok quick question girls, since last week I've been struggling all my regs seemed to have disappeared and I earnt only £100 last week. That's nowhere near what I normally make so it's a big dent in my pocket obviously. Now I do charge to the higher end of the scale so should I reduce my prices a little? Last week I was making no more than 40 credits a day. Had one reg a day appear and otherwise nobody else wanted to know. I rely on adultwork solely for my income so wondered if you girls had some suggestions on what is my best move?

That does sound rubbish I only went on once last week on Wednesday morning for four hours and got 60 I wasn't best pleased with that but am not used to daytime. Could it just be the end of month and people waiting to get paid after holidays etc? I find its so hit and miss I can make 180 in two hours or 7! Are you paying for positioning that is the best tip here I have had. My prices are 1.5 group and 2 private which is more than a lot but doesn't seem to make much difference I don't really get much group.

Mine are higher than that I charge 2.5 group and 4 private and have done this for a while now and had no problems well until last week! I was averaging around 150 credits a day before. I pay for positioning from around 2pm onwards as find morning is always a bit slow for me. I don't know whether to give it another week and see how I go before making changes.

It's pay week *and* bank holiday Monday, if they're going to spend, it's this week. Hang on for a few days and step up your promotion instead. New pics, update your profile, upload a voice story - just keep yourself at the top of updated profiles.

Kinky you are fine with those prices, lowering won't make a difference. I'm 2.99/3.49 and switch to 2/4 after 1am. Like you I didn't seem to see many regulars last week. I had to put in a few more hours but still hit all my targets. I do not believe its down to summer, football season or anything like that since year after year my earnings are always steady. I think it is down to aw not fixing their tech issues, not advertising, and not paying for the service from JCI that they need now we have so many girls working at one time.

I'd suggest not relying on AW soley. Have a couple of sites you can make money on. And remember there are plenty of other sites guys can get free or cheaper shows, they are not influenced by rates x
