    I'm done with cams.com

    I know it varies per affiliate, but I've had many sales with the same traffic with pretty much every other cam sponsor, but not cams.com

    I should have taken the hint when I hit 0:8000!! Right now I'm 0:8956 and I'm pulling the plug and flushing down any hope.

    That's all, a little bored, felt like posting.

    Did you talk to a sales rep?

          What about the higher payouts? Doesn't that even it out in the long run?

            No sales is still zero even with higher payouts

              You see, I thought it would. They seem to pay well and I was hoping for atleast 1 signup to make up for the suckiness - but it never came.

              I have other cam sites that convert rather well, and I was even pushing cams.com the most on the site. Big 300x250 banner you see on every page.

              I didn't speak to a rep, not sure what that would give me at this point - especially with this post.

              They're prices are high, and the competition is more affordable, I think that's the prob.

                It's not a high traffic site, but I have AWE converting at 1:100 and camcrush at 1:32.

                It's mostly from search engines and because it's a fairly new site, it's getting better every day.

                    bashing? How about posting my experience and stats. When all is well they boast and post awesome conversions I'm sure - what about the bad times? We gotta pretend they don't exist?

                    If I was bashing I would say "cams.com fucken sucks" but no, they don't. They aren't a top cam site for no reason. I gotta admit that their promo tools and everything else is pretty sweet and looks good.

                    It just isn't working for me, that's all.

                      I don't think 0:8956 is an unjust bashing do you?

                        "I didn't speak to a rep"

                        If you didn't even take the time to try to better the situation with a simple e-mail or icq. You shouldn't make a thread saying cams.com sucks, & mention 2 other programs that are "kicking ass" for you.

                        But thats just my opinion.

                            Those programs aren't entirely kicking ass, but they're kicking something.

                            I just didn't perceive as telling them I've been promoting them with no returns as an option.

                              Ummmm, well now, ok. Lets see, my traffic is not converting with your program what can you do to help me? Well, lets see.... oh, you only sent like 8000 send 22,000 more and we'll see how it does.

                              Meanwhile she could have sent it somewhere that works for her and made $$. She isn't saying cams.com is a shitty program or isn't worthy of someone elses traffic. She is saying her traffic works better else where. This happens. It is just the way it is.

                                              It has more merits then a would you hit it thread.

                                              Who knows maybe this thread results in giving an impression of the perfomance of cams from a few different affiliates point of view.

                                                To relieve boredom. Did you even read the post? or just the title?

                                                  I should have taken the hint when I hit 0:8000!! Right now I'm 0:8956 and I'm pulling the plug and flushing down any hope.

                                                  That's all, a little bored, felt like posting.
                                                  did you try the % program ?
                                                  i always did better with that...

                                                      I could use one. In fact, I have a flask of Southern Comfort under my desk I had forgotten about! Thank for reminding me.

                                                                cams does decent, but it could be so great, if they limited the free chat time, or used a credit card verified free join if they're going to give unlimited free videochat. they could also lower prices or allow the models to lower their prices, 4.99 is ridiculous.

                                                                add on top of that they've recentley decided to give an additional 10% discount to premiere members and take that out on the models pay as well as their cut without even giving the models the choice to take it or not. premiere benefits cams not really the models but they are paying for it anyway.

                                                                i could go on and on and on, but i still like them. it's just not worth 4.99 for a european camgirl thats on 5 other sites at the same time some of them as low as $1 a minute or $1.50. but if you want to sit all day in free chat then its a surfers heaven

What is sales rep for site B going to do other than credit you a sale for your efforts? Come on now. The only "advice" I have ever got from a sales rep was to display the trial price so that surfers who clicked my links knew what they were getting into. Yeah thanks.

                                                                          Account reps will also look to see if you have your linking codes setup wrong etc. Any # of things a trained rep will find, that you won't....things you overlook...they don't.

                                                                          If i'm not making any sales at your pharmacy fuzebox....would you help me create custom advertising for my campaigns? of course you would....& since you know pills better than me (atleast marketing wise ) u could help me get my sales off the ground

The OP wasn't 'bashing' a program, jerk off, he was sharing his experience. That is valuable information to be shared with other wm's here so if anyone needs to be muzzled in this thread, that's you. IF he didn't choose to email a rep to ask why it's converting 1:8000 +, that's not your business and certainly doesn't take away from the validity of the post, ok jerk off?

                                                                                                    If I was bashing I would say "cams.com fucken sucks" but no, they don't. They aren't a top cam site for no reason. I gotta admit that their promo tools and everything else is pretty sweet and looks good.

                                                                                                    It just isn't working for me, that's all.

I know sometimes it sounds stupid because they cant make you get sales but sometime it can be the smartes thing you can do..

                                                                                                    Trust me and trust the couple people who mentioned it before me.. sometimes its something silly causing your shitty conversions thats easily spotted/fixed by a rep, sometimes its as simple as a banner or text change or placement..
