updated, not much put into it, but thoughts?
 
Live Webcams - Sexiest Adult Cams?

i am using one of the aggs i grabbed from forum.

Your thoughts and would it convert any traffic?

money biz 09-24-2024 06:51 AM

Looks good but another site someone posted didn't even have pages indexed using the same script so I am hesitant in buying

TheLegacy 09-24-2024 06:59 AM

I'm not sure I get it.
The URL is https://nickshotcams.com/ BUT the title of the website is Sexiest Adult Cams?

That being said there are several things wrong with it but I'm trying to be positive.

Banners to big
Top real estate should be girls an not filters and banners
Why you're putting all the cam companies you're working with I don't know. Are you trying to make this look like yours or just a stop over? They'll just go to the main site
The cam girls should be the forefront an much larger windows and animated
The background image - personal choice of yours - different but honestly a bit tacky

Not sure I understand the concept of webcam tags when it just shows the same small windows with no keywords or categories

No Meta Description (all other sections really need work on Meta Tags)
Missing H1 tags
173 images (out of 179) with missing ALT attribute
179 images (out of 179) with missing TITLE attribute
179 images (out of 179) with missing LOADING attribute
179 images (out of 179) with missing WIDTH or HEIGHT attribute

You should mark up your site’s pages using one of three supported formats:
• JSON-LD (recommended by Google)
• Microdata
• RDFa

Domain Authority is 1 - nothing else to show not even backlinks
Page Speed needs work especially mobile
Images should be in Webp

I mean if you're not going to have someone help you out with this then what you're attempting to do is get free advice hoping to save money from having a professional actually put together a decent page and layout

I could go on and on with the fixes - but I hope that shows you at least a beginning

So the answer is no it's not going to convert - anyone who's into cams will have an account at most of the ones you listed on top. Most are smart are will just go to those sites - not to mention you're not getting anything in return from those websites like backlinks so you'll always be dead in the water

thanks so far will look

Darkhorse 09-24-2024 07:49 AM

Start over. Get rid of the background image. Work on having a proper header/navigation area. I think 99% of surfers are going to leave that site before it even loads. When it does actually load the navigation is horrid, the webcams don't load. It's a bit of a clusterfuck, to be honest.


I wouldn't be using that script but that's a personal choice.

JustBiz 09-24-2024 09:46 AM

You asked same sort of stuff many times, man. You get loads of advice, plenty of people trying to sell you shit and a few (seeing a mark) trying to rip you off.

But most of that stuff is wasted air. Why not get a single sheet of paper and jot down a few basic questions. Your own ones, but really basic questions, f.ex:

* Do I want to make adult a business that puts bread on the table? Or am I happy to treat it as a hobby?

* Do I have a USP? Do I need one?

* What are the skills required to deliver my goals?

* Which ones do I have, or want to learn?

* What stuff don't I have a knack/liking/time to do? Design is mainly aesthetics, media buying is data, coding is a pain in the ass :D, yada yada yada

* If, honestly speaking, none of those things are really your talent, it's still possible to make/run an adult business. You'll find plenty who'll help you plow in as much money as you got to plow. Maybe, you'll even end up with a product that doesn't lose money. You could call yourself "the vision", rather than "the bank". Would that be satisfying enough? Do you care?

You're chucking a bit more than beer money around the place and, tbh, so far you're nowhere nearer a product to market.

Deciding what you want, why and which parts of that you can do would be a cheaper and probably more productive start.

quite often, you get exactly what you paid for.

mrmister 09-25-2024 09:55 AM

Compare your site to cambb or nudelive. You won't make a dime and you don't have the budget to get high on Google. Cams are the most competitive niche

that's one of the issues with the script he chose first, even though he was provided info re other effective options from the very start before he bought anything

the script at issue here was designed by someone who doesn't promote cams and has no idea how to turn visitors into paying refs. the design in the link isn't SR's choice, it's the design of the script

:2 cents:

but not helpful to SR as he has a bull's eye on him for any scammer trying to make a buck


SR, you posted your new salty comment in this thread based on a comment I made long before we started conversing. that comment was in relation to you using a stolen image while ostensibly seeking payment processing. you did steal the image, you admitted it in the thread. I don't care about Drake, his music sucks, but using stolen images is not cool and would nix any chance with a payment processor who would review your application URL

I made that comment after you posted a thread about your first version of the nickshotcams site, which was so bad you'd have been lucky to make domain renewal cost in income. I honestly wasn't sure if you were trolling or just clueless after the next thread

in yet another thread, weeks after that post of mine you quoted the other day, you actually thanked me for extending assistance

anyway, that comment you made marks the end of your multiple PM's seeking my advice on how to make money doing what you claim to love to do and want to achieve on cam and off

often basic stuff you coulda just goog'ed (I also sent you links for reading and learning) and then used that info to create your own strategy that fits you

buying every script that you see is not a strategy, but I answered anyway, every time, and did try to provide strategy guidance and rec you scripts that you ignored and then came back to me over and over seeking new input

I'm looking forward to not having to clear my inbox constantly (I did save all my many replies though)

wish you the best of luck, sincerely. you will need it

Not sure about wise. My questions were just an example. He needs to ask his own.

And you know, cos your did your own thing successfully, there's no one way to skin a cat.

For instance, I gave example question: "Do I have a USP? Do I need one?"

He can read all over and find loads of people saying: "Oh, you gotta have a USP. Oh yes, yes. Without a USP, you can't even start."

Personally speaking, I think having one is better than not having one. But do you need one? Of course not.

The net is full of fucking clones of other sites. A lot of them might be losing money. Almost all of them might be making less money than the successful sites they copied. But if they know what they're doing in other areas of what it is they do, there's plenty of them that can be making money. More than they spend.

The fact so many of them exist/endure proves the point.

Also it means jackshit if someone is posting they make 5K in sales a day on a forum, but not posting they're currently spending 6K a day to get it. :=p

There's no one way, and never has been. He or any of us should listen to what people have to say, maybe try out stuff that sounds interesting and draw own conclusions from bottom line.

That's all that matters at the end of the day for any business.

On a webmaster forum, vast majority of us might be snootily telling someone their site looks like complete amateur shit. And it might actually do. But so long as they tap in to the right market of enough people who are excited by a site which looks like it's made by an amateur model with three months experience of HTML ... and it makes enough more than he spends to meet his personal needs, he'll be a success. With a shitty site.

Of course, much more often than not in that situation, it'll be a complete disaster. But not always.

He needs ask his own questions, not ours. But at least ask them before he starts spending.

Even that's no sine qua non really. There's no better beta testing than losing money. Or shouldn't be. :=D

His main problem til now is he just keeps asking the same question over and over again. And it mostly sounds like 'How do I get where I want to go when I don't know where I want to go ... ?'

Well, other than to be Chaturbate.

Of course, that's doable too. So's winning the lottery. :=)

yeah, in our PMs that was what I was trying to convey, over 17 message in response to his dozens of PMs, way after that post with which he now takes umbrage

I def learned from peeps along the way but I always made my own choices based on hands on learning of the biz and the info peeps shared with me. that involved a lot of reading and strategizing in my head and on paper, on my own time

I didn't just jump in and expect to become successful overnight. it took a lot of hard work. even being able to assess what might work and what won't requires knowledge to differentiate between something worth trying vs a hell no

I tried to convey to SR that his success or failure is in his own hands based on the choices he makes, in light of his strengths and aims and actually researching the biz he wishes to excel in. I was not successful at that so maybe he'll listen to you

I don't think my comments on his early two disastrous attempts were 'snooty', they were honest and I was playing cuz I honestly didn't think he was serious

then I got the sense he was vulnerable and trying, so I stepped in to offer guidance that he was eager to accept

after his comment in that thread? it's up to him now

and yeah, who wants to visit a site and see filters as soon as they hit the page? granted not a dude but that would totally get me in the mood to want to rub one out

sweetube 09-25-2024 01:35 PM

kinda looks boring.You might have to redesign a little

This right here says it all. It seems he keeps hiring folks or buying third party products because they are cheap and surprise! it turns out to be shoddy work.

You can lead a horse to water ...

Someone very good at media buying once told me something that maybe saved me more money than anything else: 'learn from what doesn't work as much, as if not more, as from what does work'. I left out the curse words. :=)

Easier said than done for many. I remember in the early days when I was running an empire of linklists, TGPs, AVS systems etc the temptation was always there to expect instant results and when those didn't jump in your face right away, rapidly go and modify shit before I had a chance to properly appraise results.

Hey yo, don't be upset. I wasn't dissing you, I was dissing that n Drake. I proudly would take his shit and seek payment processing just caus he is a POS like Diddy.

Oh yeah, I did a shitload wrong before I found the shortcut of finding someone who actually knew what they are talking about and was willing to be generous about media buying.

Of course, a lot of what he said should have been common sense. It was as soon as he said it. Just not before. I was looking at rare sparkly nuggets that worked and not considering all that dirt around 'em was also valuable data. Maybe, more so.

You can learn media buying, but I think it's something you really need to enjoy doing to devote that much attention to it. Wish I enjoyed it more. Not happening, sadly.

Hang with Jesse.

She's a trooper with a soft spot for any stray lambs. She did her own independent thing successfully. She's also got infinitely more patience and understanding than I'll ever have.

Maybe, keep the PMs more to a trickle than a flood though. She's got job/s and a life ... as well as tending to the lambs. ;=)

Lol I noticed that right away those filters took most of the page when it should be a small button to an expanding div or a thin dropdown menu at best. As a consumer I wouldn't linger on that page for a second.

ok, cool. thanks for clarifying. totally thought your comment was a shot at me

as to Drake, I dunno about any Diddy stuff but I was always on team Kendrick when that was astir. going against an actual talented artist, what was he thinking? that whole thing was funny and turned out awesome at the end with the Pop Out

only decent Drake tracks were ones that featured people you actually want to listen to. see Forever as exhibit A

(I'm trying to change the subject back to the topic I participated in getting off track, hope it worked)


SR, get that Mech site up! configure the back end/familiarize yourself with it and learn about marketing, links, SEO etc while someone does the design, then go slow and observe and strategize at every step

that script you bought after mech (I had rec'd both, but assumed you'd do one at a time. I won't name it here as that was a private convo and don't wanna spread your business) could actually mesh really well with your mech site if you build it AFTER mech is up and running

think about what I mean by that, refer back to the messages I've sent you. I'm happy to bounce ideas with you further, after you have put a bit of thought into them


I rec'd Zuzanna as the designer for his mech site but also suggested that he always compare at least a couple good options on every undertaking, to get a sense of who is the best fit for him

so Zuzana Designs is my rec, anyone else have some suggestions for a legit, established designer for a mechbunny cam script i.e. familiar with it?


SR it's really important you embrace this 'go slow and compare and contrast' thing as a skill set, so practice it here

SRProductions 09-25-2024 08:10 PM

ok i am working on mech next... lots of the plate.. promise!!! tons to do and got another pm from someone promising a miracle lol oh man never ends but I am going to make it. Zuzana Design knows im doing my best i'll make it mech is next!! cant wait to start on that soon then we'll kick butt.. hope so! :) yay..
