Re: Traffic Fell Off A Cliff
20 upload? You'll be back up there in no time.
Re: Traffic Fell Off A Cliff
you reckon? I have been putting the hours in too. 5 hours a day 6 days a week. Within 30 days I have just shy of 500 favourited me. Is there anything else I'm missing out on which could be messing my ranking and traffic
Re: Traffic Fell Off A Cliff
Stick it out and work as much as you can. Good internet is vital but placement is based on money made, hours worked, ratings and among other things.
Re: Traffic Fell Off A Cliff
Are you using the SM broadcaster? I switched back to the old encoder (I am in serious need of a laptop upgrade) and while it hurts my placement my stream isn't laggy at all. Crappy picture quality by comparison but running the encoder on the low settings at least is a consistent stream and I make more money that way. I've been doing this almost a year and my percentage in paid fluctuates between 15% to 30%. IDK how these gals are consistently higher than that, but I think it's awesome.
Re: Traffic Fell Off A Cliff
Yeah, try using the FMLE broadcaster, SM one gave me lag. Also, I am doing a lot better when I am online in my scheduled time than when I just randomly sign in I have noticed. I find that "my" guys know when to find me, they show up and we do our thang. So try setting a regular schedule (even just a regular 1 day a week) and sticking to it for a while.
Re: Traffic Fell Off A Cliff
I'm having the same problem. I've never had to try so hard to get people to watch me get naked lol. But seriously. I won't even tell you how many hours it's been since I had anything more than a couple of gold tossed my way. My self esteem has gone from the gutter, to the toilet, and been flushed away to the sewer. Even the ninja turtles down there want nothing to do with me. I don't get it.
Re: Traffic Fell Off A Cliff
I was online for two hours and made $4. I think that makes me part of the group here lol
Ughh
Re: Traffic Fell Off A Cliff
i use the encoder.. that new beta one never works..starts calibrating then crash.. i dont have time for that..
Re: Traffic Fell Off A Cliff
It's pretty scary how little traffic ALL the sites are getting these days. Tonight AW was slower than I have ever seen it with only 1 row of ladies in paid chat at midnight (unheard of!). When I rejoined SM a few months ago it was 1000x slower thabn it was 5 years ago, and I too went long periods with no one in the room at all. Maybe it's just the private based sites? I don't know.
Re: Traffic Fell Off A Cliff
I started off using sm broadcast to stream but as soon as I purchased the new webcam it wouldn't calibrate and kept crashing. So I have been using the normal encoder. I have it on the exact settings sm advises also. My schedule is in place and I do stick to it. Working set hours each day. I'm just hoping that when my new internet goes live Thursday that things will improve. Going from 0.92 upload to 20 lol. Once the traffic is in my room I can convert it to private chats it's just getting the traffic in my room
Re: Traffic Fell Off A Cliff
Girl! Almost 500 favorites in ur first month is not bad at all, that's a lot more than I got. SM has been slow for all of us. Also, I really doubt u are on pg 23, maybe if it was an incredibly busy time but usually from pg 15 or so onward all the offline models are listed. It's really rough right now but just try a few other sites and see if anything works for u. Really hope it does! In fact I hope it gets better for all of us. Xoxo
