Re: Streamate placement !
Based on your IP number, they determine the country were you are, and therefore you will always see yourself and girls of your country first.
Maybe surfing with proxy will give you a more accurate picture of your placement.

But doesn't that imply that there is no such thing as an accurate placement if everyone is just seeing the placement of models based on where they live? And possibly a bunch of other factors.
Re: Streamate placement !
I guess so yes.

Re: Streamate placement !
I id try this out, because on my first day at Streamate I looked at my placement, having no stars at that moment and found myself in the first place.
That, ofcourse, seemed too good to be true, so I tried the proxyserver and found myself where I belonged, almost at the end of the line :)

With the way they try to get /some/ traffic even to the back-page girls, you should just keep at it and try to do some advertising, get some custies there to see YOU specifically. With more people coming to see you, your placement should go up. Also make sure you're using the encoder, sound, all that fun jazz. There are theories floating around that things like idle movement and time spent typing also affect placement now.
Besides, do you really want to go through all the hassle of perma-closing your account (takes a few days), starting a new one and getting approved again (takes MORE days)?
Re: Streamate placement !
i don't think it has anything to do with ips
in the second picture you had your language as italian so they were listing hosts who spoke italian first, notice that most of them have italian tag lines or whatever they are called under their pictures.
then after all the girls who speak italian the normal placement follows.
you can go on streamate and change the language to let's say german and it is going to list all the german speaking hosts first.

Re: Streamate placement !
I'm pretty sure it's not just as simple as starting a new account... you would have to ask them to close the old account and then wait for that, then you would be able to open a new one but of course you will have to wait for that also. Seems like it would be better to just work your way up like everyone has to do. Starting a new account isn't going to guarantee that you will make any more money than you do now, ya know?
And h0ttie is right, it's the language that was making the placement show different.

Then how do they know my language if it is not based on IP ?
I didn't select any languague
Re: Streamate placement !
My placement has been wonky the last two days and I'm trying to figure out what it may be. Have any of you ladies found a significant differnce in actually connecting to the internet vs wifi. I have the best internet Cox can buy but they say I shouldn't use wifi. I find it odd that I have been using wifi the whole time and it just became an issue just recently but if its worth hooking up I will. I have my box in the living room but stream in my room so am thinking I may need some kind of cable extender. Or can you just buy another modem and hook it up in the room as well?
Re: Streamate placement !
I rarely use the ethernet cord, it bothers me and it is in the way, and then if I move my cam around, it ends up falling upside down on the floor during my show. I honestly have not noticed a difference, and I have decent placement. I just stick with the wi-fi.
Re: Streamate placement !
Hmmm.....idk what else I need to go. I may tweek with my encoder settings. Are some of you ladies still having issues with the new adobe? Last I heard most girls preferred the 3.2 version
Re: Streamate placement !
Its based on how many hours you work now. It used to be based on how much money you make alone. It changed like a month ago or so. So work 60 hours a week, you will have amazing placement. Work 10 hours a week and your placement will suck. And of course, its averages.
Re: Streamate placement !
Wow that's the first I've heard of this... How'd you find out it changed???

Re: Streamate placement !
It says in their FAQ that this is not true.
"We ask that Streamate performers maintain a minimum of 3% of their total time in paid chat. Staying on longer just to be in free will not increase your placement. The performers on the first pages offer the best experience for members. We want you all to have the chance to be there! Customers are here for you - let them know you appreciate it!"

lol that's not true. Well I guess its true on a technicality (see below). And even if what they said above IS true, they would basically be saying that they rig everyone's placement if its not based on how often you work or how much money you make (I wouldn't put it past them, but there's way too many girls on that site for them to rig placement.)
Anyone who hasn't logged on in awhile will tell you that their placement drops, but goes up once they spend time online. Yes, its amount of time in paid chat. The more hours you work (in paid chat) per week, the higher your placement will be. But being in paid chat is out of your control, and its a given that the more you're online, the more you'll be in paid, thus the higher your placement will be.
Re: Streamate placement !
OT: but I love that NaughtyNights couple. I would so love to have a couple show like that :D
Re: Streamate placement !
I purposely log off when I don't make a lot of money for fear of my placement dropping MFC style. I know the top girls are on a lot but also make good money. If more hours equaled better placement then I will definitely be on more =) So I hope their stupid FAQ thing is wrong. I'll test it out this weekend. I'm going to stay logged on regardless of whether I go to private or not. Ill let you ladies know how it goes =)
Re: Streamate placement !
I've noticed a couple of models who will refuse to do anything but Gold Shows. Their placement is always on top of the main page. So now I'm starting to think its all about the hours they put into it as well... Keep us updated, ladies! I'll have to try and spend more time online this weekend :)
Re: Streamate placement !
I have notice my offline placement drops when I have "pending changes" to my profile. It goes back to normal after the next time I log in.
Re: Streamate placement !
I really don't see why everyone is all worried about placement anyway. Depending on what categories you're in, your placement on the main site means pretty much diddly. Now, if there was a tool to check your placement on the main site, AND the whitelables..... Because I know at least 3/4 of my custies don't even use the main SM site.
Re: Streamate placement !
Placement is a huge deal to me because it makes the difference between a $50 day and a $300 day. When my placement is wonky its make a huge difference in my traffic.
