Not sure what you're implying - I provide a list of sponsors with no preference given to any.

Oh.. And you wanna provide me with a list of this "lot of webmasters clearly doing very well with them?".. That's a bogus statement that they always pull out whenever there's a bunch of WMs bitching about ratios.

Pussycash has for years been one of the biggest and most successful webcam programs. They didn't get that way by not converting or retaining - or having so many tech issues that customers stay away.

The "WMs" doing well could/would be the ones that upsell from inside members areas or those that have traffic that is specifically looking for webcams

Now THAT is brilliant insight. Of course, members area-provided visitors or those that can from targeted sites are going to do better. You're not making any point with that observation.

Regardless, anyone that thinks that the site being 500 or having insane slow loading pages, or having cam hosts that the surfer can't connect to.. or get dropped from (a consistent problem with imlive) won't have a real negative impact on conversions and long term revshare, clearly doesn't have a clue.

Obviously tech issues don't help. Over the years Imlive has had a few, sure. But I'm confident they are working on it and will get things corrected. iFriends, as one person pointed out, has had more errors than any webcam site I've seen. One in particular, a very simple one it would seem, has not been fixed in at least 5 months even after I've contacted them about it.
But I still promote them and do well. I've also seen typical numbers with Imlive during this technical issue. So it would be fair, I think, to suggest that possibly you're poor conversions aren't a result of tech issues. Sales also fluctuate for everyone. So is it not possible there are other factors?
Oh and I should note that most of your replies in this thread are more than a little bitter and sarcastic. May I suggest chilling out a bit? Perhaps that's part of the reason you've made some of your assumptions? Nothing makes a webmaster more pissed than not making as much money as they hope. If your traffic has converted with Imlive then I'm sure it will continue to do so.
