Cam guys: Are you happy with AWE 14 days cookie???
I've been promoting cams for a couple of years now, and just recently I started promoting AWE. It seems that they convert great but since their cookies expire after 14 days I'm loosing a lot of money! There's no way I could even start to compare them with some other well know cam sites like Cams.com!
What are you thoughts on this? Also, what is making you the most money with AWE right now? Rev-share or PPS? It seems that their PPS is very low when compared to some other promos out there.

I'm not to fond of them either. I've been promoting them along with cams.com for a while when I first startet with webcams. And I got much better results with cams.com. So I would stick to cams.com if I were you??

awe's payout structure is set a certain way if it doesnt produce more money in the end than other cam sponsors than dont use them and use who makes you the most money. nobody wants you to lose money.. If you want to try and increase that revenue i'm more than glad to help.. for starters start cobranding .. i.e. buy a domain just for cams and setup a branded site so those surfers come back to your site to buy credits instead of only lasting 14 days..

What I'd love to see is cams.com getting their program to convert as well as AWE coupled with their much better long term revenue model.
I heard there was actually a thread a while back where one of the AWE names actually said that webmasters don't deserve to make revshare past 14 days. Hopefully that was a rumor and not true. :/

You guys probably don't realize expenses associated with cams:
40-50% for model payouts 12-15% for processing fees (including cb fees, txn fees, etc) 5%-7.5% for refunds (if you don't deduct it from models immediately) That's 57-72.5% of gross revenue, which leaves 27.5% to 43% gross before affiliate payouts. So assume you pay 20%, this leaves 7.5% to 23% to cover all operating expenses and turn a small profit. Cam programs can't really pay 30% without some sort of catch to it if they want to be even mildly profitable which is probably why cams.com has a fair 20% payout. Oh and I should mention that webcam sites require much more staff than a regular site because you have to have full time risk management/fraud preventation staff reviewing transactions. We have 3-4 people per shift, 24 hours per day doing this, for example, due to all of the fraud attempts from Eastern Europe and Asia I hate to take up for the competition but this is simply the facts |

No one's mentioned Peek Shows yet. They've been around a long long time and were pretty good.

AWE has great sites, nice promo material and they convert. However, even after much scrutinization from the webmaster community over the last few months, they still fail to disclose the 14 day cookie in their program details to prospective webmasters. They exploit the fact that the overwhelming majority of adult webmasters promoting cams assume "revshare" means for the life of the customer. They are the only cam program I've found that has a revshare program where the webmaster doesn't get paid for the life of the customer. I have no problem with them only wanting to pay out for 14 days, just make sure a webmaster looking to sign up is made aware of this and existing webmasters understand this by listing it as part of their program details. Its hilarious to listen to AWE's owner on this board complain that they only pay 14 days revshare because he believes that's all the webmaster deserves and because his margins are thin. Then turn around and invent the "live sex awards" and spend over a 500k promoting it with excessive prizes. Bottom line, its a shady practice to call something revshare and not disclose the 14 day payout to your webmasters.

i likw AWE. made $1100 off of 1900 uniques (81 sales) last period.
This period thus far 1:16 . 765 uniques 47 sales. Not to mention the good chance of winning the "pedal to the metal" raffle every persiod. i cant do this with the other programs. Maybe its just me. If youre an idiot you judge the book by its cover sign up under me for good luck (see sig) |

We pay 20% to 35% sliding scale, AND 50% on VIP members site. We offer every affiliate free content, however in many cases I can also provide to some affiliates, in certain situations, our premium content feeds, free of charge.
See sig & hit me up on that, if you have a productive pay site. |

Any sponsor who does not pay percentage of sales for life time, should find a different term to label that program - using 'REV-SHARE' is misleading and contrary to what most affiliates understand it to mean.
If it's 14 days of rev-share, then call it '14 days of rev-share'. We are not assuming that 'lifetime' has to be added to 'rev-share' to qualify it as such. |

This topic has been debated here and elsewhere a lot already, but here's a few things to consider:
1) For the majority of traffic affiliates bring, the customer will spend the bulk of his total amount in the first 2 weeks of hitting the site. 2) AWE converts as well as any program out there. 3) The 30% base percentage is as high or higher than any of the major sites out there. 4) If you hit $1000 in gross sales in a 2-week period you get a 5% bonus. If you hit $5000 in gross, a 10% bonus. 5) Every pay period (twice per month) they give out from $100 to $2500 to affiliates in a random draw. 6) The free chat (no registration) seems to do very well and removes a barrier vs. many sites which require a credit card and email to enter the free rooms. Put it all together, and you can easily see why they have so many affiliates despite the 14-day cookie. I'd highly recommend giving it a shot and since you can see the usernames of your conversions, spend a small bit of time calculating the avg. lifetime payout you get per customer. Add to this any bonus you receive (divided obviously among all customers equally) and I'll bet you'd be pretty happy with the numbers. And yes, the co-brand is one of many options to re-cookie customers you convert. ![]() |

I'll continue promoting AWE.
They convert better and give you a higher percentage. At the end of the day you make more money with them than with most webcam sponsors out there. That's all that matters. |

I dont understand why would give up a Whale or for that matter a returning customer that spends hundreds if not thousands of dollars over the course of years. I got recurrings from customers I signed up from four years ago on adultwebcamworld/peekshows. Why would I give that up after two weeks. I'll take the long term money thank you very much.

I don't really think this is any different than some other webcam programs advertising their sales as 'PPS' or 'per sign up' when it's really 'per $20+ purchase'
They say 30% so they can attract more webmasters because most webmasters fall for deceptively high payout figures |

Sponsors can pay affiliates a share for as long or as short as they like - and affiliates may do very well by that.
But this issue is when misleading or not fully-disclosed terms are being applied. 'REV-SHARE' *means* for lifetime to most affiliates - don't mess with that (or get used to this kind of blowback)! |
