Dudes were typing shit like "this is the best free show I have ever seen, etc." Halfway through her countdown, with well over 100 guys in her room, she had barely half of her goal. Which was only $100..
    I know who you're talking about. The girl is a hustla and I'll admit, a fucking good one. She's on like 10 different sites at once but is able to interact with each and every one of them equally. If she only made half her goal, then that's the lowest I've ever seen. I've always seen her as top earner, everywhere.

    So that means I am not getting any advertisement? I'm sure that could hurt my traffic too, correct?

It does affect your placement because they can't advertise you, people without memberships can't see you, and no one can search for you. Geo-block is a waste to have in my opinion, just because someone can't search you doesn't mean they still can't find you through a direct link.

    I only blocked my state because camming is my side job. With all this talk regarding how geo block doesn't really work maybe I should remove it.

    That's exactly how I felt. I have a huge family spanning several states so the chances of being seen is pretty high. But, well, if I'm going to get busted... might as well make that money!! lol

    If I were you I would do a test. Test what it's like without geo block on for a couple of weeks. If there's no change maybe put it back on? But if there's a noticeable difference in traffic consider keeping it off?

    I was amazed at the sheer amount of traffic she had. I was also like, WTF, stop giving all this shit away for free. She did reach her goal. 147 guys to reach $100. Not that efficient.

    ^^^ agreed that in terms of server loading and bandwidth bills generated versus revenues produced for herself and her webcam host, this was almost certainly a 'losing' proposition for that webcam host. Then again, this particular girl was working within a framework allowed by the webcam host. A 'smart' webcam host would 'cook' this into their statistical analysis, and potentially change their framework to eliminate opportunities for camgirls 'gaming the system' as described above.


    I think there is an assumption here by some that marginal camgirls are the niche girls. I have not seen that stated anywhere in this debate so I fail to see how cutting cam girls who are marginal would effect type and variety of models on site. If we are basing this on time spent in prvt or dollars earned there is no reason to assume that certain type makes more than another.
    In case this misunderstanding actually exists, my interpretation of 'marginal' simply meant that a particular girl's ability to generate more 'revenue' for her webcam host than her ( mostly free ) video stream consumes in server capacity and bandwidth costs is marginal.

    Exactly!

    No need for anyone to stress out about it either. I really doubt SM will take any action for a lower percentage since their own rules state you need to be above 3% in paid - i mean seroiusly, there is probably nobody even close to being that low.

    Mine is quite low by the way, like 25% this week and I'm on the front page, very high, barely made anything. It does not seem to affect placement at all. Only when my ISP has a problem and bandwidth drops do I see any difference in placement.

    ^^^ ultimately, every business needs to operate at a profit, or it will fail. There's no denying that rising video streaming standards are costing webcam hosts more money per video stream in streaming server costs and internet bandwidth costs. There's also no denying that some number of camgirls are creating 'losses' for their webcam hosts by consuming more streaming server capacity and internet bandwidth than their paid sales revenues can 'pay for'. The 'clock is ticking' ...

    Your assumption that marginal camgirls cost the host the same as top camgirls is false Melonie. This would only be true if marginal camgirls had the same # of concurrent viewers as top camgirls. I guarantee that the marginal camgirl does not have the same # of viewers. A girl streaming to the server uses a very small amount of server and bandwidth capacity, almost not worth counting. It is the stream from the server to viewers that eats up the bandwidth as that 1mbps stream from camgirl to host is then multiplied from host to X # of viewers. If a marginal camgirl has 10 viewers, shes costing some amount of server capacity and 10mbps of outbound bandwidth (assuming HD encoder with decent settings). While a top camgirl may have several hundred viewers @ a time (or more). Which is 1mbps x hundreds.

    Further, server capacity will increase with moore's law, and transit/peering costs continue to decline quarter by quarter, year by year. Streamate will not be dumping marginal girls. They don't need to b/c the marginal girl costs essentially nothing (no one is watching them).

    I don't have the statistics to back it up, but I'd be amazed if the advertisements did not actually cost the site more in terms of bandwidth than the cost of supplying registered members with a video stream and chat interface.

    ^Yea but if they are marginal and masturbating in free chat, watch those viewers go up.

    Yes it's against the rules but we've all seen girls get nude in free and get flocks of free loaders. I know I have seen them

    Which is why SM enforces the nudity ban. Almost every-time that its been blatant I've seen the girl get suspended. Only time I've seen it persist is when its a foreign model, which in that case I don't think anyone cares enough to report or even bother with suspending the model and her one viewer.

    They enforce the no nudity ban just as much as they enforce the no recorded shows rule.

    Sometimes a big pair of boobies is all it takes tbph. I don't think SM suspends for boobs-only nudity?

    I think most models get out of it with a quick slap on the wrist with an "I didn't know/didn't read" excuse anyway. Especially if they are earning big money, they DGAF in my experience.

    I was just really being sarcastic. The amount of recorded shows and below the belt nudity is a lot.

    i spend about 30% in paid. i'm going to stop using the break button so much and start logging off for breaks and see what a difference that makes...my guess is it might go up to 40%. ideally i'd like to get to 50% or more but with gold show countdowns and such i don't know how realistic that is.

    Default STREAMATE- What is your average time spent in paid chat?

    Ok, so I see there is a thread on "How many people have listed you as a Favorite?", but not on on "daily time online." I thought it would be interesting to see where we stand.

    I went back from the very beginning of this year; the first week of January--and took an average of ALL the weeks averages, up until now.

    I got: 40%. This is doing mainly premiums/exclusives, and a gold show here and there. My rates have started off at 3.99/4.99; 4.99/5.99; 4.99/6.99; and 12.99/6.99.

    Does anybody else care to share theirs? I don't know if 40% is a good percentage or not

    Average? I've never looked but it would probably be something laughable. I wouldn't be surprised if my average is under 40%.

    For me, it varies. There are days when my '% in paid chat' is wayyy up there, as high as 70-80%. But, I average about 43%. I've had awful days where it was like...8% and I just said fuck it and signed off.
