Why are you sad? Are you surfing the models? I'm curious to see from an affiliate standpoint what effect this has on conversions. I think those promoting revshare might not see much difference, but I could see the free cc verify joins going up because of this. I've always wondered with the free live preview what their bandwidth bill was as a % of their overall expenses. I suspect this could be a test to see how conversions go, obviously its going to dramatically lower their bandwidth.

Hmmm, going to streamate.com does indeed not have the free preview, however going to a white label like camgirls.com does give me the live preview.

I think it is a good move. Ass, grass or cash...nothing is free.

Yes you get the live preview, but you can't chat with the performer.

If that is the case then make your own white label. It isn't rocket science and it converts better.

Good move. iFriends did this a few months ago. It works.

brassmonkey · 02-01-2011, 01:53 PM

gets rid of some free loaders

I'd hazard a guess bandwidth is the least of their concerns.

It works from whose standpoint, obviously its going to lower the program's expenses, but I'm not convinced it will increase sales. I only ask because years back when cam programs went from static images to a live preview, conversions dramatically increased, so its hard for me to believe that reverting back would have the same effect.

Im not really sad, just wondering if it will hurt sales. I think it gives a little free chat time then cuts it off. I would think that its better to watch the girl interact to see if she is worth spending money on first. Time will tell on this one.

Fob · 02-01-2011, 02:16 PM

its nice idea to try. conversions will probably go up, freeloaders go down.
