To make stats on cams need send lots traffic, with small traffic you can be or very lucky or very unlucky as too small sample.
So we buy those popunder and blind skimmed from trashiest tube's and cj's (and chocker traffic yes LOL) and some time we fish the guy who spend $5000 a month, there into the trash, believe it or not. This pay back the 1:10,000 conversion - but had to buy few million hits before to trap the whale, if we stopped a moment before we was in loss.
And this is why we buy spots and traffic in k's rather than rely so much into affiliates - if we get the big guy from our own traffic ads we keep his sales, a rev share of a $50,000 a year whale would be painful. In fact we not hasve rev share at all, we give pps only.
So I think who have lots sale (as big tubes) can make good $$ in cams due to volume it contains the whales, the big sites all sell spots to streamate or jasmin etc. no one miss to put the cams. The smaller traffic guys need too much luck or time to fish the big guys.
Of course there's cam specific traffic sources with high conv ratio but is small total traffic and people who have such, is like member areas traffic it is so nice but it is so few finally.
The problem is how many of these cam sponsors do you honestly think will allow some small affiliate sending 10 uniques a day to get 20% for life from some whale who spends $20,000 a year for five years? I'm sure it happens at times and I'm sure many programs say they will pay but let's be real.

I remember many years ago a certain very popular cam company who was most famous for their revshare program had a rep who once made a comment like "Affiliates don't deserve to keep getting credit for rebills if they stop sending traffic." on a different webmaster forum. Guess what? Reps don't pick up attitudes like that from nowhere. They often come either from other reps or upper management.
