there is 0 good from this method. None. When you pay for advertising and work hard to make a sale you should be rewarded for it. You fail to understand all someone had to do is set their cookie once the person is already signed up. Its not like the next affiliate has to get them to signup, the first affiliate did the hard work. You damn right if the first guy did the hardest part, which is introduced them to the site and convinced them to try it, then some random person who sets a cookie 15 day from now shouldn't benefit from it. The first person to sell them should get credit for all future sales. Also, the only person it really benefits is AWE. After 14 days the person goes back into the "pool". But during that time who makes the money.... AWE. It's total bullshit disguised to make some people think it offers some type of benefit. When really its a way for AWE to own that person the majority of the time they are a member. How often do you think new affiliates pick these members back up once they are signed up. I am sure it happens but over the course of a year, I bet on average 2 - 3 affiliates cross get credit and the other 9 - 10 months a year AWE makes all the money. The only people that this system should make happy is the people with a lot of traffic that can't convert. They come along after people signed up and they set their cookie. They don't sell the person, they just leach for 14 days. This method is total shit and I am surprised anyone promotes that company. But hey, have fun at it if you do. |

the simple fact is they are upfront about how they operate, personally i think the 14 day cookie is stupid and i think calling a program revshare with 14 day cookies is foolish to say the least , why not be innovative and create a pps + 14 day rev share bonus. as far as i am concerned as long as they are upfront about how they operate and they aren't doing anything illegal/immoral all you do is add up the cash at the end of the month and compare it with the same traffic pushed elsewhere.. |

Any affiliate that has ever sent a large amount of cam traffic to multiple revshare sponsors over an extended period of time knows right away that the AWE 14 day revshare will ultimately earn him less $/unique than any other revshare cam sponsor. I've been promoting cams and cams only for 8 years. I still get checks from Streamray(now cams.com), even though I stopped promoting them 3 years ago. 9 months ago I decided to test this out. I sent 25k uniques each to 3 different well known revshare cam sponsors with AWE being one of them. The traffic all came from the same source, a source I've been using for over 5 years. The first two sponsors pay out lifetime revshare (like every other revshare cam sponsor but AWE), and then there was AWE and its 14 day revshare. After 14 days, AWE and one of the other sponsor's earnings were very close, within $100. The third sponsor did only 50% of what the first two did. After 2 months, the second sponsor had more than doubled AWE's earnings and the third sponsor had now caught up and exceeded AWE by 10% as AWE's earnings came to a screeching halt at 14 days. After 4 months, the second sponsor was now more than 2.5 times AWE's earnings and the third sponsor was now 75% more than AWE's earnings. After 6 months most of the revshare had died, with just a few still buying. Now at the 9 month mark I'm still seeing some revshare coming in from those campaigns and the second sponsor is now over 3 times AWE's earnings. The test results were exactly what I thought they were going to be and just confirmed that if you are going to promote revshare cams, promote a sponsor that pays out for the life of the customer. Here is my AWE assessment: They have great promo tools, as good as any other cam sponsor. They cover almost all the cam niches and have tons of models on at all times of the day and models that can convert English speaking as well as Euro traffic. However, having said that, the only possible scenario I could see recommending them is if you had a small amount of traffic for a brief period. They will convert your traffic, but only pay you for the first 14 days. Frankly, the 14 day cookie thing has been rehashed plenty, if you think you're earning more with them then stay with them. I can just tell you from my experience and test, that anyone sending a steady amount of traffic over an extended period of time will ultimately lose money promoting AWE vs another lifetime revshare cam sponsor. I still think AWE needs to do a better job of informing the new webmaster upon signup about the 14 day revshare. They prey upon the fact that most webmasters assume the term "revshare" means for the life of the customer particularly when its promoting cams. Its only briefly mentioned in their terms(how many webmasters actually read that) and its nowhere to be found on their main promo page or FAQ page even though they seem to cover almost every other question. Even in this thread alone there are webmasters promoting them that were unaware of the 14 day revshare even though there have been multiple threads on the subject here. The only reason AWE noted it in their terms is because they were called out by their own affiliates in their own forum. Then their owner preceded to come on this board and tell all his affiliates they were lucky he was even bothering to pay them for the 14 days as he felt thats all his affiliates deserved. |
I'd not expect LJ to change its policy anytime soon, especially since they are from Holland and based in Hungary, and the USD shrank this year. :)

Exactly everything I just came to post. AWE is a stellar program, and probably my top earner. And since the customer pool never really shrinks because of the 14-day cookie (except for those who got signed up via PPS), it'll probably keep being a huge moneymaker for some time. |
And to those of you bitching about how if someone signed up through you originally, they should be "yours" for life - would you change your tune if it turned out that most of the customers you've been making commission off actually originally signed up via someone else? I mean, there's no way to tell. And quite frankly, if I make an amazing website and some guy who hadn't used his account at Livejasmin for a year comes to my site and decides to start spending money there again, but uses his old account, why don't I deserve a cut?

I am not saying they are scamming people. They are upfront with what they are doing, there is nothing wrong with that. I am discussing this type of method and why I think it is shit. You get someone to signup to livejasmine for the first time, they see your ad, you "sell" them, and they make an account. You get credit for 14 days. The member buys $500 a week in cam time, so you make your % off of him for 2 weeks. After that AWE makes the money. 1 month later that same person hits another AWE affiliates site, he doesn't click on anything he doen't signup to AWE again, he gets a "cookie" set. That affiliate didn't sell him, he was just lucky enough for an AWE affiliate who was already a member happen across his site. So now for 14 days this affiliate will make his % of that $500 a week the member spends. The second affiliate did NOTHING to deserve to make the money. Just getting someone to your shit doesn't mean shit. You should be rewarded for selling people not for getting people to your site. There are a million ways to get people to your site. Hell the guy could have been sent there from skim tgp traffic. If the second affiliate got the members to "sign up " again with a new account then I coudln't argue with that. But from what has been explained to me, once a member is signed up, all you need to do is get your cookie on their site and you get credit for 14 days. This rewards people who just push traffic and don't sell. And it hurts the people who are bringing the new customers to the company by only rewarding them with 14 days of income. I don't know how anyone can argue that there is anything good with this system, except for the people who cant make sales but can push traffic. Im starting to repeat myself so there is no point in me replying. i just don't get it and i guess i wont. |
Quote:
so what if it cost me $20 of advertising to get the person to signup. But the guy doesn't spend anymoney in his first 14 days. On day 15 he goes to the site and starts spending money. You saying i didn't contribute enough to collect money past 14 days. thats insaine. |
Quote:
i just can't help myself with this one.... so you point out a situation that happens about 1 out of 100,000 times. How often does someone make an account to a website, never uses it, then a year later comes across the site again and remembers the orginal accont, and then starts using it again. VERY VERY RARE. So everyone who does the hard work of getting people to signup shouldn't continue to make money off of those members because in a few rare cases someone might come back a year later and instead of making a new account, he uses his old one ? :upsidedow I don't know how long you guys have been promoting cams, but I have successfully been doing it for 8 years, and i think there is some totally fucking whacked logic in this thread. |

if awe had a "lifetime" revshare to compare it to. , then we could say "method A works better" or "method B works better" , but all we can do is compare them with other cam sponsors who dont do things the same way, and for me awe comes out ahead. i dont know how anyone could say making more money isn't a good argument. |
Quote:
Quote:
i dont follow that logic.. exactly when are the others sponsors going to pay me more.. after a year awe avg's more per month end of story.. if you are waiting 2 years before your lifetime cam sponsors takes over awe then you are playing another risk also right.. even if lets say the other cam sponsor finally takes over awe after 2 years "hypothetically" the money i have made i reinvest and make more off, so you are looking at a tiny tiny % gain after 2 years , whereas other would flip that cash and have doubled it in a year..

You have tested longer perhaps i don't know , but i have been testing for a year , and the numbers add up to awe being the winner.. just curious by your numbers after say 3 years how much more % are you making on "the other guy " because as i mentioned if your looking at a 3 year window and your only making %x more than the other guy i have already flipped my % multiple times..

Tell us what they are doing so differently that could possibly make up the huge gap between 14 day revshare and lifetime revshare? |
I think the 14 day cookie is short-sighted.
Many more people would promote LJ and those who do would send MORE traffic if they weren't so greedy. |

as far as why they convert better than most other cam sponsors, perhaps its the product :thumbsup perhaps its because they dont have a popup hell on their sites.
|
Here is what i think is some facts that I think no one can argue.
1. There is NO WAY anyone is going to tell me that a cam program that offers % with a 14 day window is going to out perform any cam company on a % deal that pays you on the life time of the customer. What makes company A so much better than Company B that you can make more in 14 days vs YEARS. Its all pretty much the same shit with these sites, girls on cam. Even if you told me that live jasmine's girls pussy was made of gold I still wouldn't believe you could make more in 14 days vs 1400 days. 2. The comments that were made..... it's not fair to the people who come later because all the members are locked up. Tough shit. It's the way it works on ALL other sites and ALL other type of programs. And there is a reason that EVERYONE uses this method, because it works. If you promote PPS and I sell the person first, and then he goes to your site 3 weeks later, you dont make the sale. So why should you continue to make the sale with the revshare method. No other sites offer this bullshit method for revshare or pps. At least with PPS people know that it is a one shot deal and the sales amount is a little higher. All sites off PPS and everyone knows its a one shit deal. With revshare when someone says make a % 99% of the sites offer it for life. But AWE does something totally different and it produces more income in 14 days vs 1400. :upsidedow 3. To the comments that... well if the person signs up, doesnt spend money and then finds my site 1 year from now and logs into his old account that isn't fair. Simply put, that doesn't happen. This is retarded thinking and is not what happens. If I get someone to signup to livejasmine THEY KEEP GOING BACK TO LIVE JASMINE FROM THAT POINT ON. If they happen across your site and see you advertising live jasmine so fucking what. They see LiveJasmine and they know they already have an account there. They not going to say, hey thats the site i signed up to 6 months ago, and i never used it but now that I see a link to it on this guys site let me go dig up that old account and log back it. If they signed up an account they never used but come across you site months later and you legitametly sell them, they will make a new accout 9 out of 10 times. 4. As I explained a million times the only affiliates that can benefits from this are the ones with shitty traffic. I make the sale, i get the person to signup and spend money. I lose him after 14 days, an affiliate with massive amounts of traffic just blankets the net with his cookie and if anyone with a live jasmine account already, happens on his site that affiliate will start making money off the member for the next 14 days. Thats not marketing, thats not sales, that is laying landminds and leaching off of other people's hard work. That is people who can't make sales of their own just trying to set as many cookies as they can and hoping that some whales happen across their site one way or the other. Be it skimmed traffic, 404 pages, bulk shit traffic or however. ANYONE with good traffic that generates their own sales WILL 100% of the time make A LOT more money over the lifetime of the customer with ANY other cam company vs 14 days with Live Jasmine. Its a damn cam site, they are all the same for the most part. no cam site will generate in 14 days more income than other cam sites unless the person sending the traffic can't make sales on their own. If they can't make the initial sale then yes I believe it. Because with AWE you don't need t make sales you just need to set cookies. |
well as long as ppl will make more money with awe than with other sponsors they'll push them
nobody forces yo to send traffic |
Quote:
if i make 10 sales a day from sponsor A and you make 1 with sponsor B how can you say you outperform.. . perhaps u get a higher avg of member but i get way more. at the end of the year , decade, century u name it :) bottom line is ignor the cookies , they dont matter what matters is what you bring in , granted not many revshare will outperform a pps in the short term , if they arent cutting it after a year its obvious who to pick right.. the simple fact is most people are stuck on their personal feelings and forget about the bottom line.

lol so basically what you are saying is everyone at awe including myself must have shitty traffic or not realise they would be making more after 15 days with any other cam sponsor . sorry but that is a childish attempt at a jab.. argue your point don't insult me by insulting my traffic because you want to get your point across. what it boils down to is i am telling people DO NOT TRUST ME , DO NOT TRUST AWE , TRUST YOURSELF , TEST THEM HEAD TO HEAD AND SEE. what you are telling people is . : it can't be better because of such and such and this and that . even after me explaining lots of ways it can. i'm certainly not here to argue 14 day revshare is better than lifetime revshare , but you seem to want to argue that there is "no way" 14 day revshare can be better than lifetime revshare even when its obvious it can be.. i tested it myself |

Nice to see a couple of real webmasters stepping in, good discussion.
Now completely off topic - Will76, don't take it in any offensive way and excuse my curiousness.. How much time do you spend with boarding in average / day? I can see you all over the place and we have met on the other two boards that I visit time from time. From my own experience I know boarding is very time demanding, and I am doing it usually only in the late night with a beer when all is quiet or over the weekend, just curious.. |
Quote:

This is a real question, so please take it as such.
Does AWE offer the same cookie for PPS? I mean, the rationalization for new webmasters should apply to both. |
To me, this is kinda like a publisher telling a song writer...
"We'll pay you royalties for a couple weeks, then after that, we keep your share." The writer looks for another publisher... Same option applies here... |
Quote:
PPS - 30 days (new customers only) To receive credit for PPS, the customer must have never bought credits with one of the AWE sites previously. |
im just surprised other cam people that make so much money for others don't re-invest into the tool set that AWE has ..... although I'm trying mTree right now, AWE is still my #1 cams.
|
To Will:
Test it. I'm not going to say you're right or wrong, but I would suggest testing and I trust you'd do it honestly. I won't argue with any facts you come up with, one way or another. But here you spend countless hours going on and on and on rehashing the same argument. And yes, many of your points are valid. But you seem to always assume that YOU know what is best. You are arguing with someone (Smokey) who clearly has tested the site and further, you make many assumptions about AWE's traffic and webmasters clearly without trying yourself. (In re: How you seem to know better than everyone: Your point in another thread about anyone who experiences slow days (e.g. holidays) or seasonal dropoffs is just make excuses is so completely absurd it's hard to know where to start. Because YOU never experienced it then it's *impossible* days/seasons can be slow for anyone else, no matter what niche, market, etc.? Come on...) For everyone else: Yes, AWE does things much different. Different must be bad. Different is uncomfortable for many of you. It's understandably difficult when you are still doing the same things with the same people the last 5-10 years. Change is not easy. That's why you still use ICQ :) But numbers don't lie. Over the past few years it's clear they have greatly increased the number of webmasters who promote them. Are they all stupid? Are they all not making any money? And/or are they all taking advantage of the cookie system and sending garbage traffic? Regardless of the rather ignorant opinion that it doesn't reward good webmasters vs. ones that send junk traffic, they are doing very well. Their webmasters are doing very well. Those that aren't probably have left. Those that think it's unfair, probably have left too. So what else is worth arguing about, really? |

boarding ? posting on GFY, go look at my average post per day if you dont want to do the math. Some days i dont even come to this site. what does it matter ? i ususally stop posting in a thread after i repeat my self 3 or 4 times. In this case I guess everyone that doesn't use live jasmine is just stupid, because obviously their product must be 10x better than all other cam sites because you can make more money from a member in 14 days with them then you can from a member on any other cam site for 1400 days. :warning:helpme |
Quote:
you can think this is arrogant, or stupid, or hard headed or whatever. But i am not going to waste 1 click of my traffic to send to AWE. I do low volume good quality traffic. I get the people who signup, and spend money. Why would i piss that away for just 14 days. The only "test" i would do would be to go buy a million hits $1 / 1000 and send that to them, i'll just hope some whales happen across my site and i will set the cookie on page load. I will "use" live jasmine the way they set it up, to reward the people who push bulk traffic and not qulity traffic. I would never send them quality traffic. I'll snag a person who is already signed up and milk them for 14 days. The people i get to signup now, i want to keep, thats a little harder work and 100% sure it pays off more in the long run. Smokey or anyone else who uses AWE, how much does the average person spend over 14 days. If you claim you make more in 14 days than other sites do in years from a member, then the average AWE member must drop $300 - $500 EVERY 14 days. And AWE must have more members than all other sites, because it doesn't make sense any other way. |

lol not really . this is like saying , " a newspaper ad brought a customer to mcdonalds and your saying now mcdonalds should pay the newspaper a % for life " if they said "we will pay you a % for LIFE" then they should , if they said " we will will pay you for 14 days revshare , if they buy from your ad again we will pay you for another 14 days and so on ) then they should. besides your example is a silly premise as you didnt write anything , you arent the song writer, your just a guy hawking cd's on the corner :) actually a better example is the guys who hustle people into the bars in mexico.. :) they certainly dont get a % for life , just for the night.. if they come back they have another chance. |

I suspect that it is set up so a customer under rev share can sit for months earning commission-free revenue. Pretty smart I guess and if the market is ok with that then so be it. I personally don't like those rules and won't play that game. Not that they miss my shitty little traffic anyway. |
Smokey does Live Jasmine tell you if new people sign up through you or just when you get a sale?

OK... Let's get started on the bs known as AWE.
This "program" can't count shit - forgetting cookies or 14 day crap. As a test, traffic was thrown at this program over a period of a few months. All traffic was monitored going to their sites and both raw and uniques are known. Forgetting raw, on uniques they failed to count/record an average of 50% of visits flowing to them. But... and don't feel like even checking - it's far worse than 50% since this audit was only done on one of our networks - so, in fact it's most probable 20% or less uniques were recorded by AWE. (And that is definately giving AWE lots of leeway) Now... don't care if uniques are measured if they only visit the AWE webmaster forum or whatever phoney reasons - this is utter crap for which there is NO excuse. All other sponsor traffic is fine going thru the same monitoring system and many surprisingly accurate, but it's easy to spot bullshit sponsors and AWE sure is on that list. So... be wary :thumbsup |
adult webmastery fact 101: those that can do - those that can't send an icq to juicy asking him if they can bump the thread.
