I just saw a thing about camshark studios...apparently this is jayda diamonde's studio. Anyway in the add it said that the models get "preferred placement (first page listing)"
is this true? can you really get better placement with certain studios?

uggggggggggggggggh! i have a feeling you can!!!
I'm pretty sure its possible!
LiaMarie is one of Jayda Diamonde's models. I know this because a month or so ago she mentioned that she was "trained" by Jayda.
Couple days ago I saw her performing in Jayda's normal workspace (with all the horse-sized dildos covered up by a bedsheet).
I would assume that she's a model with Jayda's studio and that is positively affecting her placement.
I edited this post because I think people might have been taking it the wrong way. I think LiaMarie is great. I enjoy watching her for a minute when she's on because she seems to enjoy what she's doing and the guys seem to like her.
The comment I made about training was because she said she had been "trained." No, I wouldn't assume that a model needs training, I was just using her words and I guess I assume that Jayda offers her models some help on how to handle the guys, what to say. I think that's admirable. She was in Jayda's physical room the other day but on her own page. I noticed that she seemed to be saying things differently than she normally does, using more inflection, etc. I was not trying to be mean at all. I just think that maybe Jayda was helping her to sound more natural with the guys.
I do believe that at least some studios get better placement on SM. Maybe they pay to have their models better placed. I think it is true because I am always seeing girls that I had never seen before right on the top row without even being on private shows a lot. The may also be able to get these studio girls the gold show feature much easier than individual models do.
I think she's great too. I'm going to edit my post b/c I think people might take it the wrong way. I think she's quite entertaining and the guys seem to think so too. However, whenever I've checked to see who's in the top placement spots, she's always right up there. Maybe I'm totally off on this, but I wouldn't think of her as one of the top models if they're going by earnings and time in private chat, etc. I was just pointing out that if I had to guess, her placement is influenced by her belonging to a studio.
i know a studio who promises top spots to it's models. i dont know how they do it, but their girls really are always on the first page, and their earnings arent sky high from what i know. also that studio offers to work on two screen names on sm at the same time.
i have always thought that sm actually prefers to have studios, not independent girls. and there are SO MANY countries from which they won't accept you if you arent with a studio.

You're right. Now that my geo-restrictions are off, I can watch my placement and I've actually moved down the list. Also, recently they started moving the external show people to the bottom of the "online and in private" list. I'm not sure if this is just another flaw in the programming, something that may or may not be fixed.... or if they're discouraging people from using this feature by reducing their traffic to the point where they can no longer make money. I assume it's because they used to get moved the the top of the list when they were making money but once SM changed the programming, they were moved to the very bottom.
I'm not sure what's going on. I really wish there was some type of communication about this.
I sent them an e-mail asking if I had done something wrong and they gave me the same canned response they give everyone else. I also just unblocked my geo-restrictions for the sole purpose of finding out where they moved me. I know I USED to be on the front page. I'm pretty sure they have me buried at the back now but I guess I'll find out for sure once they update my profile.
You are correct, rather than to just blast us with a ZERO paycheck without warning, they should have given us some kind of notice. They should also be honest when the girls ask them why she was moved. If we have to be honest and trusting enough to give them our contact info down to our SS numbers, and DL numbers then they owe us that much. Call me old fashion but it is common decency.
Have you seen the front page right now? Several low rated performers, quite a few not even using audio. Some just look unclean, others unkempt.
It takes me almost an hour to get myself ready to be on cam. I iron my hair, do my make-up, take the time to find appealing outfits, use HD cam & audio, offer phone in excluse, have 5 stars, never broke a single rule and have always done well. And now because Jayda wants better placement that's it?
I'm astonished!!
I am in jaydas studio, and they sure don't play favorites with me, lol. I am going to refrain from saying a lot about camsharks, I would just recommend NOT joining any type of studio.
Hottie, just out of curiosity, you wouldn't be affiliated with or recruiting certain studios would you? I'd really hate to find out that this is actually someone creating hype ...
That said, I looked over the aforementioned site and notice they don't disclose the percentage cut. I read somewhere on this board it's only 28% to 30% but I'm not sure. It's much lower than a girl who creates her own individual account.
Are there additional rules above and beyond working for studios? From what I understand (from stripperweb) many studios are extremely difficult. I mean, if we're gonna create hype, lets be truthful...
I would have suspected this was true about certain studios getting better placement, but the way I moved up when I started using the encoder every day and again when I upgraded my internet to super fast upload I really have to doubt it.
I've moved up to the front page and am on the top row or two when traffic is slower. When it's heavy traffic and lots of hosts on I'm about 5 rows down. It doesn't make sense to me that I'd be that high up. I try to look nice but I'm in no way a top host at that pay and those few hours, lol, and not with a studio.
I've not even been working streamate that much these last few weeks. My last check was like $280 so it's not money. I think it has more to do with the quality of your connection and the speed of it, plus if you are transmitting HD.
Ok well I'm not buying the "studio placement" theory and this is why:
Your stream quality is very low and you have received a few one star
rating recently. This will effect your placement. You need to stream
using the encoder in order to get your stream quality higher and to
change your placement on the site.

I finally, after 3 e-mails got an acceptable response from streamate. My upload speed lately has only been 4 mbs and I received two 1 star ratings last week.
Interesting. Another thing I discovered last week is that it's not only the upload speed that will affect it.
My ISP was having trouble. My upload speed was still the same but the connection was unstable and fluctuating and cut me off a couple times during a show. It dropped me back way back pages and pages! The next day when they corrected it I was back to the front pages.
That's interesting. I just moved recently and I'm with the same ISP and have the same internet package, but it crashed for 5 hours yesterday. Luckily I was taking the day off. I'm taking today off too but it's been unstable and pages are taking longer to load. Maybe?
I was going to call them if it continued but they got it straightened out pretty fast.
Sounds like its having trouble if it's taking pages longer to load, yep. I'd contact your ISP if you continue having trouble.
I recall also when I first moved to this house where I am now that they had to run new lines because the old cabling wasn't doing the job.
Ok I have the answer. I learned today that it self adjusts. I logged in on page 3, logged out on page1.
For the record, I am NOT a studio girl.
