I'm new to the asian scene and found this forum, which so far has helped me out
a lot. I'm very new to the scene, so I've had to rely solely on SEO for generating traffic.

Fortunately I'm seeing about 1000 uniques a day after a month - but for the life of me
I haven't been able to convert anyone. I saw an earlier post showing payouts for various
sites and it was depressing. Which makes me think what we're doing wrong.

The consensus I get is that tube sites are killing opportunities? I think they're going to
be around for good, so I think it's time for "the community" to come up with newer business
model that somehow favors everyone down the value chain.

I think a good example of a model that works well is myfreecams, when compared to the
general camgirls biz model. I have talked to a lot of people in Japan recently about this but
they don't see it as much of a problem because Japanese are scared of priracy. So that alone
is a good reason for concentrating on Japanese traffic, I think...

Anyway, I also wanted to ask, where are the forum rules? I've put a link to my blog in my sig,
but I'm not sure if it's allowed. If someone could point me to the rules I'll do my best to obey them.

Well that's it.. Hope to see you around.

yo man, welcome :)

your site in sig is welcomed with open arms, we are curious what sites our new members are running

but yes, i agree that the tubes are murdering our ratios, but hopefully someday governments and laws will stomp down on them, but not gonna happen, stilll like to think it will happen someday tho

AFAIK There is no affiliate model with this site. My buddie knows the owner though passing, so I'll ask him and see what the situation is.

Keep you posted.

I've just talked to my buddie over there, and to make a long story short, no there is no affiliate scheme for myfreecams.com.

Their model is setup so that the girls make 60% and the site owners take the other 40% for cost of business. The site itself is totally free, which makes it an interesting model to study. Adding an affiliate program only bites into the site profits, and that alone would kill any profit margin after monthly hosting/bw/employee are paid. That being said I'm sure they're making enough to make it worth their venture.
