    If it's morning sickness from pregnancy I really feel for you. OMG that was so bad when I was pregnant with my two kids. I hope you are feeling better.

    So basically I had been only working 1-2 days per week for several weeks and it bumped my time spent online to "poor" in the placement factor.

    I take this to mean consistency is huge. Logging on consistently most days of the week will really bump it back up. Once I started logging on 4-5 days a week again, I shot right back up in placement. Then of course I went back to 1-2 days a week with all this morning sickness I've had, so I'm back down again.

    Also: Fill out your schedule & have some of those hours actually be the same ones you cam. The system likes a filled out schedule.

    Amber! Good to see you here. I thought that was a factor, but I told someone who was having trouble with their placement, and they wanted me to back it up with some facts from SM. I couldn't find anything on the site. Guess it's a camgirl rumour? I always try to remember to fill it out anyway.

    Feel like it used to be mentioned somewhere. This filled out schedule part as a way of helping placement. Staying in Party Chat instead of Classic Chat also helps with placement as it's the preferred chat, but I sure as fuck can't do it for long these days... Party Chat makes me too mean!

    I don't necessarily agree with this statement that Party Chat gets you better placement. I've done some experiments with the two and there wasn't any difference whether I was in Party or Classic.

    I was once told by SM staff after they first gave us Party Chat that the sort (placement in the grid - they call it the sort; I call it the grid #tronfan) skews more towards Party Chat with more preference given towards Gold Shows. With all of the other bits that help the system determine placement like ratings & percentage of time in paid chat, who else is live, etc it makes sense that we're not always gonna notice it.

    Well you certainly have nothing to worry about in terms of placement, Amber! I thought I saw the schedule listed as a feature of placement somewhere, maybe they took it down. I've seen others say they had bad vibes in Party Chat, not me, really, some people ask for Gold Shows, and there are rude people but I haven't noticed it more so than in Classic. Your snark on cam is adorable and admirable, Amber.

    Appreciate the high fives, Ms Sophia. I'm *rarely* on SW but you can tell I've been "here" for awhile. What's it say over there in my profile? 2004? Yeah... I've been at this gig for a spell.

    Wish everyone the best with continuing success! March/April is one of my worst times of the year (tax crunch, ugh) so here's to hoping that part's behind us now that we've had Easter. I'm always on The Twitterz if you wanna say hello: and .

    My placement always goes up a row when I'm in Party Chat. But I don't like party chat because I don't do gold shows and it attracts trolls like crazy.

    Anyone know where can the high quality HD encoder settings can be found? I'm having trouble locating them.

    Use the dropdown menu from "Support" in your model profile - then it's "HD Encoder" - then the very first link in the pdf "Preferred Settings"

    I pretty much only do party chat unless I want to go invisible with the external show thing, which is rare these days. When I'm in the mood I do 2-3 Gold Shows a night and never know when I'll have the right crowd to start one. Good to know that if I'm moody and not feeling like tolerating the trolls, Classic is a good place to hide. Haven't done it in so long I almost forgot what it was like.

    I have been following you since I pretty much first got my Twitter account since I have such a major camgirl crush on you. (*tries to hide her obvious fangirl squee*)

    I love how you handle your free chat and your style in general. It leaves me in complete awe. You freaking rock the casbah, bb!

    Current placement as of 4/24/14 is determined by the following:

    #1 Money speaks the loudest.


    2. Bitrate.
    3. FPS.
    4. Round trip connection.
    5. Ratings.
    6. Time online.

    Second tier determinations:
    1. Widescreen.
    2. HD.
    3. Audio.

    Are you maintaining 800+ bitrate?
    Are you getting 30+ fps?
    Is your round trip 100 or below?
    Are your ratings 4.9+ ?
    Are you selling 90+ hours per month?

    Yeah... Money... Except I have kick ass placement & know I don't make as much as some of the ladies behind me. I'm not ashamed to say that either. Not saying that I don't think how much you earn isn't a factor. Just saying that it's maybe not #1.

    If I'm talking all weird, it's cuz I've not been getting much sleep AND I just finished a pretty grueling shift on cam. #wipedout

    I am the same way......I literally make pennies compared to other girls and I was at the bottom of the first page today. O.O

    Yes, same here with being pretty high up (usually) and not much $ coming in some days. Connection speed is huge and having a fast computer, using the encoder factors in too. Money does increase my placement but if I cam from a slow connection with a low powered laptop and don't use the encoder it's way way lower.

    I wonder what did I wrong, or if this is normal to happen. I disabled geo restrictions like 10 days ago, so Iīve been able to see my placement since last week. So everyday had the same placement, offline and online, online at middle/bottom in the first page, offline always around the same girls, in the first page in my language. The last time I was on, 2 days ago, I had to shut off the computer because my kid got in the room, this was in the middle of a private session. I couldnīt log on again. Those 2 something hours I was on that day were slow, they always are around that time, but it wasnīt extremely bad, around 30/hr. The thing is now for some reason Iīm really behind, like 20 pages after!! I donīt even want to know what will be my placement online. Can placement varies so much in such a short time?

    I believe it's collective over a period of 90 days but I'm not positive. This says 24 hours. I probably should have asked but I was so caught up by the info, I didn't.
    My issue is lack of sales from lack of online time.
