Quite simply, EPCs aren't great when averaged across all unique clicks with cams. Why send high quality unique traffic to cams and earn say .02 per click when you can send to dating and earn .30 per click? Cams are much much harder to convert than anything else. I've owned cam sites. I've bought shit loads of traffic to cam sites. I am intimately familiar with the economics of cam sites. I don't send my bought traffic to cam sites. No big player does in media buys that I am aware of.

Of course someone occasionally spends a ton of money. How much money was spent trying to get that guy?

People excited about promoting cams are like having jack off friends that love going to Vegas to play black jack. All you hear about are the wins. No one talks about the losses. No one talks about how big the losses are over time.
It usually costs me $0 to get that guy but you are correct in that standard porn traffic sucks. Cams are their own market and porn surfers don't really give a shit about it.

I feel like I'm in the Twilight Zone or something. Cams are dog shit easy to promote if you aren't approaching from a porn webmaster perspective. I would never send bought traffic to a cam site period. Bought traffic is garbage when sent to things they are interested in.
