				 | yes, if your surfer does not buy anything within 14 days they are no longer under you, even though they still remain in the AWE system...after 14 days of no activity AWE takes all the surfers money |

				 | shouldn't you be taking the links down based on the revenue? I mean, it's possible that in fact you're not making mcuh with them, because your surfers spend the money after the first two weeks and you don't get credit for it...... but it's also possible that regardless of that rule you're making more with AWE than with other cam sponsors, nope? Links should be pulled based on the earnings you see.... this 14 days rule may suck, but this is not a situation like with i.e. AFF where by promoting them, you're indirectly hurting the industry...

 I thought about the AWE cookie thing a lot, and while I dont agree with it, it is their decision to make, but I never use their default revshare links, I always set up a full cobrand with them | |

				 | Does the cobrand get around the 14 day limit though? I can't imagine it would be that easy otherwise everyone would be doing it and sending AWE "broke" |

				 | well, if the only place the surfer was coming to was your domain to get to the cams, then why would you worry about the 14 day cookie? they ALWAYS come to your cobrand to get to the cams |

				 | That didn't answer my question though, AWE may still exercise their "account is older than 14 days therefore we get all remaining credit" check, regardless of where or how the member starts watching cams. |

				 | it's the cookie that dies after 14days. the account could be a million years old afaik but as long as the surfer gets a new cookie every 14days you get to keep the revenue |

 it isn't a 14 day then die policy, it is a 14 day cookie (after the user is inactive) so, if you set up a cobrand and surfers always buy from your cobrand you have nothing to worry about, but if you just throw up some revshare links and you get 100 surfers and only 2 buy in the first 14 days you are fucked on those other 98 people | |

				 | I must admit i think the policy sucks , BUT you really do have to consider how much money your making in comparison.. ( keeping in mind we dont want to compare them to programs like aff that indirectly hurt the industry by promoting them and have serious long term effects on your traffic ) As jace pointed out , if your a serious webmaster you will use COBRANDING to your advantage and the 14 day policy is somewhat moot point..

				 | but cobranding is useless because when you click on a performer the chat window is not a cobrand, there is a Livejasmin logo on top and wherever you are clicking you're getting back to livejasmin and not your cobrand. |

 What about the link in the confirmation email that gives them the link to login to access cams? What about all the livejasmine.com urls all over everything everywhere? Only the front end is cobrand, surfer clicks any cam show they're taken offsite. Why would surfer comeback to cobrand when they have to go to livejasmine to login? | |

				 | I have some room to make some private deals 30-35% revshare, $40 PPS or a combination of both ( we can work out the details ) Our cookies expire in about 30 years

				 | yes they still have the 14 day rule. And even if you make some sales ik takes them almost a goddam month to pay out your cash. No thanks it's zango for me untill some other camsite offers me 105$ per sale and converts as well.

				 | This has always been my bone of contention with them.  Anyone who has promoted revshare cams over the years naturally assumes that a "revshare" payout program means for the life of the customer.  I don't have a problem if AWE only wants to pay out for 14 days, but don't call it revshare and at least state that in your program details to webmasters signing up to your program.  I guarantee you there are tons of webmasters promoting them that aren't aware of the 14 day cookie payout.   I also don't like the fact that the owner of AWE responded to the backlash by stating that he felt the adult webmaster didn't deserve getting paid anything longer than 14 days of revshare. Then a couple months later spends a few million putting on the moronic "Live Sex Awards". Every other adult webcam revshare program feels the adult webmaster deserves getting paid for the lifetime of the customer. I had thought the cobrand was a workaround to the expiring cookie, but after reading about how the links take you to their main site, I'm not so sure now. Maybe we could get some clarification from AWE as to whether the cobrand does indeed keep your customer for life as long as they continue to come through your site. |

				 | After messing around with some clickthroughs I'm guessing it isn't, plus there are plenty of other places for the surfer to bookmark outside of the cobrand url. |
