The STUDIO GIRLS get ALL the TRAFFIC!!!
Edited. New fact:
If your rates are high, and your not doing gold shows, you will never ever have 100+ people in your room. The people who can afford high rates is a small group of the overall population. Less than 5 in 100. Probably closer to 2 in 100. And that ratio is pretty well represented on Streamate.
Today was just a bad day. Sorry for being a spoiled brat because it was slow. Disregard the thread.

Re: The STUDIO GIRLS get ALL the TRAFFIC!!!
I just posted the same thing.
I am aware of the 3 month cycle. I am aware of the weekly movement. They just sold more slots and moved us back again. I was moved back to mid page 2.
I saw Lusty, Booty and one other of us who worked very hard. We're all back on page 2.

Re: The STUDIO GIRLS get ALL the TRAFFIC!!!

Re: The STUDIO GIRLS get ALL the TRAFFIC!!!
*recalculating*
Just do like gps does.

Re: The STUDIO GIRLS get ALL the TRAFFIC!!!
I hate to say this ladies, but if you can't beat 'em - join 'em! If it means more money, we are going to have to join studios. It is what it is.
FUCK YOU SHAWN!!!

Re: The STUDIO GIRLS get ALL the TRAFFIC!!!
Ok.. after reading the above, i signed on to check my placement, just in case. Normally I am not a "placement-checking girl", but you hussies (and I say that in the most loving way possible) made me curious. I am enjoying my nightly gin cocktail, FYI.
So i sign on, with my shitty laptop cam, face 100% out of view b/c my makeup is not on, and I check my placement. Normal. :-/ Some of my guys start chatting with me... the usual inane banter. I tell them that I am not really online, but that they should go see ....(a couple other girls i think are hot and I know are online, but who don't necessarily know me. Screennames not mentioned here due to SW rules. Whatevs... share the wealth.)
A couple of them take me into premium anyway... cool. One of them is like... show me how your ass looks in those purple panties. No problem. I oblige. Just means I have to sip my gin cocktail facing the OTHER wall. ;-)
Long story short, I got a little too into it, and ended up flashing them the blinding whites of my Always Maxi-Pad wings. Which I 100% forgot I was wearing, but because I was using the shitty built-in laptop cam (thought i was just gonna check placement for `10 secs and sign out), they showed up as SUPER WHITE against the grainy greyness of everything else. HAHAHAHAH!
WOWWWWW.... embarrassing. But funny. LOL!
Way to go, Shark Week! :-)

LMAO
For what it's worth I think it must be time slot specific because I am on right now and my spot is I think where it should be. Not really sure at this point. Great story though. I'm smiling on cam because if it :)

Re: The STUDIO GIRLS get ALL the TRAFFIC!!!
Ok! Correction!
It isn't the PLACEMENT that is the issue. My placement is FINE. It ALWAYS has been awesome.
It's the TRAFFIC. A huge surplus of traffic is going to KGB and other big named studios instead of us independent 5 star rating good placement girls who are right next to the KGB studio girls. 7 girls in one popular independent models room today, while there was 117 in a studio girls room. They were RIGHT next to each other, by the way.
This wasn't an issue about placement. It was my theory/complaint.

Re: The STUDIO GIRLS get ALL the TRAFFIC!!!
I've noticed a drastic drop in traffic the past few days myself...I thought it might just be the days of the week but if some have 117 while I have none that totally sucks :(
-
Re: The STUDIO GIRLS get ALL the TRAFFIC!!!
It's true. That's why I don't work on sm anymore. I used to make good money there, then everything died when gold shows came out and pushed every girl with average connection off the face of sm. Now it's tumbleweeds...lol. S'ok, stick to ur pennies and 12 hr days studio girls... I know where i'd rather be :)

Re: The STUDIO GIRLS get ALL the TRAFFIC!!!
Ps if u think mfc will be better think again.. U will still get 7 guys in ur room... But the model next to you now has 1,200 instead of 117!

Re: The STUDIO GIRLS get ALL the TRAFFIC!!!
I just received a message from someone who states he runs SM. I'm not sure if I am allowed to post it but I think it might help us clear up some misconceptions. I asked if he would mind and am waiting for his response.

Re: The STUDIO GIRLS get ALL the TRAFFIC!!!
Don't join a studio girls, just work more sites...

The info is on their site.
They are a legit studio. Here is their twitter album, many girls on SM work for them.
It's a direct response to what we are saying about studio placement, preferential placement, sold spots and higher traffic areas. Basically he wants to know who made this stuff up. I asked for clarification and if it's OK to post what he sent me.
Will let you know.

Re: The STUDIO GIRLS get ALL the TRAFFIC!!!
I actually like that SM's owner has been lurking more. If we could get some confirmation (or permission to re-post his responses) I think they'd have a bit more weight than the responses from the idiot support staff that change their answers every two emails.

I was even more confused by the placement issue, but then I ran across your post:
I just realized that you have posting here about a completely different topic. After reading the your thread on placement, I see what your placement issue is. I wanted to share some info with you, to maybe help your situation.
As for your placement, your placement while online really doesn't reflect your actual placement/ranking on the site. The only way to really tell where you are placed, is to look at what page you are on in the offline pages. What ever rank you are offline, will determine your placement while you are online. The OFFLINE girls placed before you, will always be placed in front of you - if you are online at the same time. If that makes sense.
This explains why your placement moves throughout the day while you are online. Your placement is not actually changing. Instead, there are higher ranked girls logged in free chat at the same time as you.
The secret formula of offline placement/rank is determined basically by who consistently earns the most money, has the most followers, etc over a period of time.
As for this thread, and as Sweetpinkcupcake pointed out.... No one in this thread has been having placement issues. We were talking about something completely different. Studio traffic. I just wanted to clear up any confusion on this. I also just removed my posts about the pros/cons of joining a studio for traffic, so that it will clear up any additional confusion, since this thread keeps getting side tracked with the topic of placement.
Yes. I misunderstood. I think I am allowing my stress to cloud my reading skills lol. We are actually looking at two separate issues here and I was clumping them together as one in the same. Stress has a tunnel vision effect on me often.
That said, I have permission to repost so I'll do that now.

Re: The STUDIO GIRLS get ALL the TRAFFIC!!!
This is per Bode who runs Streamate: These are two different e-mails and he answers the questions/assumptions we make very clearly.
Every single performer on Streamate earns their placement from their video quality, sound, and customer ratings. If a room is popular it gets featured and will get more traffic organically. All this chatter about sold rooms doesn't even make sense. Users go to whatever rooms they like. If someone has 100+ people in their room, they are somehow very engaging since that is a very large amount of verified users to have in a room.
----
Studios can be very valuable for many performers. They are also not useful for many. They aren't useful to people who learned things on their own, which is probably typical of many people on this forum.
When many girls get into the cam business they know nothing about it. They have an old shitty computer, horrible internet connection, no knowledge of how that works. When that girl gets on cam with nobody helping them, she falls on her face, no matter how beautiful she is or how engaging her personality is. Also, a HUGE amount of performers have a major problem with time management. They cant keep a schedule, and therefore will never be successful on cam.
Studio's fill that void to teach people how to do well on cam. Since they know what it takes to do well, they take the time to get the performers setup correctly to do well. They help get people started correctly. They provide a person to contact with computer upgrades, technical questions, questions on how to improve their performance on the site. It's not be coincidence that some studio performers have a lot of users in their room. They followed the advice of the studio, on exactly the best ways to interact with customers.

Re: The STUDIO GIRLS get ALL the TRAFFIC!!!
Thanks so much for posting that Cvarga.
Everything he says there makes a lot of sense.
-
Re: The STUDIO GIRLS get ALL the TRAFFIC!!!
I meant to ask but forgot, if maybe the fresh faces we see isn't just studio's maximizing their chat rooms by offering a like/similar performer in her place when she is not available to cam. It seems logical. I'm not starting any rumors here. Just wishing I asked lol.
I can also say that I am feeling much more calm after having had these questions/assumptions answered from the lion himself. I get so stressed and it's really ME allowing myself to get the better of me.

Re: The STUDIO GIRLS get ALL the TRAFFIC!!!
I'm not going to edit any of my previous posts because I think it helps whoever wasn't here to read this from the start to follow the conversation.
