That type of system is always a self fulfilling prophesy... i.e the ones that earn more money get listed at the top.. the top girls get picked more by the surfers.. and so the ones at the top earn more money.. Ratings systems are also piss poor as they get abused by the models/studios.. iFriends system is/was particularly bad at that and I heard many models complain about it. The solo girls caming out of their homes got pushed out by the studios.. But it was those solo girls that were actually far better models and made me more money.
If I was writing the code for something like that, I'd probably try something different like break the models up into 3-4 tiers and then rotate the girls every minute thru the spots grouped in sets of 3-4. I'd try ranking the tiers by a combination of earnings per minute and per customer or something inclusive like that.
One of the other things that I find on all the cam sites that is detrimental to everyone IMO is models with incorrect data and piss poor searching/categories. For example, streamate.. I'd push that site a lot more if I could focus the traffic... Everyone has a "type" that they want to watch and interact with. Just try finding caucasian teens to chat with on streamate.. You go into the teen category and you find a ton of asian girls.. You can't filter them out.. and once you start looking into the girls you find many non-teens... That type of system doesn't do anyone any good and reduces the potential revenue.. It's not just streamate though. Out of all of them, I think ImLive is about the best for finding the type of girl you want but even their system could be improved upon.
