    Default Worse placement...better earnings?

    Closely related to the last thread I started...

    But today I checked my placement and was in the 6th row...WTF????? I had been consistently climbing since I started....at one point, I was number freaking SIX on the SM homepage.

    But recently, my placement has been dropping. I wonder if it has to do with not being on for my scheduled times for the past few weeks, or if it has to do with my rate increase.

    See, I went from spending around 50-75% of my time in paid, to 25-50% in paid. But my rate is a fuck-ton higher than it was, so I actually am MAKING far more, and am on for longer hours. I have also started doing goldshows again, which is obviously affecting my % in pvt, but making me more money.

    So....anyone else find that they are making better money, but not necessarily better placement? Especially you "high earner" gals - where do you find you are usually placed?
    I take cash, debit or credit. I just don't take shit.

    I'm sure this seems quite obvious, but just incase you hadn't thought of it, which i'm sure you have lol..... it's going to depend on who else is online at the same time. Sometimes I am in the very first row, sometimes I am in row 5. Also, if you check your placement when you are logged OUT of a members account, you will appear much higher than if you check logged IN to a members account.

    But also, maybe you are making more because you are actually spending MORE time online? Gold shows will definitely help too, a lot.

    I find that when I am in row 5 or 6 I see a big difference in traffic and earnings than when I am placed in row 1-3. As in, I make LESS the lower I am placed. I think this is probably the case for most people. You are likely earning more because of other factors and not necessarily your lower placement. KWIM?

    Awesome though, that you are making more!

    I'm kind of the same as you, ManyRoses. I'm not positive where I'm at placement-wise due to my geo-restrictions. But I know I'm not up very high. Definitely not front page. I used to stress about placement, but I've been making $200-400 a day without doing Gold Shows and have only had this account for two months. So yes, I think placement helps, but it's not the defining factor in money potential. Plus, once they've made you a favorite, you're always at the top for them

    I just discovered what to do. Use a proxy and log into your customer account.

    My placement's fluctuating from the 4th row to the top of the 2nd page, and has been that way for like 2 years, no matter how much I make or what is my paid time percentage. I once was in the 2nd top row while making like $150 a day, now I'm making like 200 but I'm somewhere on the bottom of the 1st page. As for the traffic, I don't see any difference back to when I was on page 5.

    In tips/tutorials on SM it does state
    •Performance - Communicate with all members that visit you. Entice them to visit you in paid chat. The MORE TIME you spend in paid chat, the more likely it is for you to be sorted to the front.


    So you very well may be right to assume its bc youre spending less time in private,even though youre making the same amount/higher

    IMO, the sudden placement shifts happen not because of changes in the model's performance, but rather due to the site dinamics as a whole. When there's a big influx of new models who get higher placement during the promo period, or when there are too many girls online, some of the 1-rst page models get moved to the second page just because the first page can't room them all anymore.

    I found myself tonight and discovered I primarily live on the 3rd page. Yet I still make pretty decent money. It is what it is......

    I log into my customer acct first. Open another tab and log into the performer account. Otherwise when I try to log in to customer account second it takes me to the model page.

    No matter what I do and no matter what I make my placement always seems to live somewhere on the bottom of page 1. I even moved apartments to a place that has EPIC internet connection. Same fucking placement. What the hell!?!

    One wonderful day I was actually in row 2! I almost freaking fainted!

    Alas, that fateful day has yet to be repeated in over the year I have worked for SM -- so near the bottom of the page 1 I continue to live.
