I'll disclose that I push about 600 cam sales a month give or take. Take this advice for whatever you feel it's worth.

First off, I'll say that you should never choose a sponsor and stick with them. Each cam site is a little different and behaves differently to different types of traffic. For instance, more sophisticated cam surfers are looking for less hype, more hot girls, and good prices. Newbie traffic will eat up sales pitches on sites and tend to overlook the prices of the girls. So you'll want to test out different sponsors, different pages, and all sorts of stuff till you find the best combination. If you have a site that gets a lot of repeat traffic, you'll want to mix up the sponsors as well.

As for the kind of traffic that converts well with cams, it's tough to say. It tends to do well with more experienced surfers who have been looking at porn online for years. They've gotten sick of the paysites and need interaction. With that said, you'll need a unique way of getting people to the site. Maybe an interactive type site, something that provides unique entertainment, and something no one else is doing well. Dive into the web for an afternoon and see how others are getting traffic and think of ways that you can do it better or differently. Some of the best ideas I've come up with was when I just took a day to see what others were doing.

I'll also add that targeting a niche audience and dominating it is the best way to get started. Everyone looks at dating and cams and thinks they need to have the generic traffic. Dominate an area like pregnant cams, guys who want to date transexuals, or something like that. It might not have huge volumes, but if you can dominate that market, you'll have consistent long term sales. I'd rather dominate the tranny cam market than be another average webmaster sending to a cam company.

Lastly, I know people will bash me for this, but I think it's time to pull away from dating. It's so oversaturated right now, and I don't think it's an industry that will continue to grow. Sites like Myspace and Facebook are taking a lot of their customers who realize they can meet others for free. I think cams will get bigger as paysites shrivel away and users demand more interactiveness.

ICQ me if you need some advice or help. My ICQ always has me invisible for some reason, but I'll help you with the pros/cons of each cam site.
