V1 API still works fine. I had asked Chaturbate about when they planned end of life for it and they said that there is no plan to shut it down.

Most of my sites still run the old API.

Any idea why sales are sucking? Not trolling here just we were doing okay with CB, monthly to bi-weekly payments on a regular basis. Now we have not hit the minimum for almost 3 months.

A lot of people are talking about it. Models overlays are an issue for one. What else? Models inviting people to sign up again is another. We've reported a few to CB.

My signups have been in the dumps but my traffic and sales have been steady. I think it is getting harder to find traffic that does not already have a cookie set. Lots of cookie stuffing going on I think.

I know that a lot of people have been saying that their numbers are down and I really cannot offer any real enlightenment on the issue.

I do know that my traffic is mostly from google and the biggest effect on how well I do in sign ups is the positions I have in G. If I am getting lots of keywords in the 1-3 positions then I get lots of signups. If I drop down to the 4-5 position my signups are half what they are from 1-3. Move down the page and same thing, positions 6-7 are about half of what I get from positions 4-5. If I am only showing up on page 2 then I get nothing in signups.

Right now, for Camfoxes I move between position 2 and 5 for Free Adult webcams quite a bit. When I am in position 2, things rock, when I am in position 4 I don't get shit.

So, I put blame for any problems I have on google and cookie stuffing.

Likely suspects. Google and stuffing. Sites can do something about stuffing right? Maybe not.

I am not sure what can be done about cookie stuffing so I have concerned myself more with figuring out the best methods of cookie stuffing ;p

I have not been very successful

Not sure if this has anything to do with it but...

I spent some time yesterday actually looking at cams which I did months ago, to get some ideas of what really goes on for sales text purposes, and really noticed a significant jump in links/watermarks to their OnlyFans.

Wondering if members are finding it cheaper for them to buy a month pass at OF for their videos then purchasing a bunch of individual clips at CB.

I would think that true cams fans would not be the perfect customer for clips.

But I could be wrong, I often am.

Thats a very possible answer. CB should ban external links maybe.
I've noticed the jump in onlyfans links on CB and nothing is done to remove them.

One of the reasons that Chaturbate is so popular with models is that Chaturbate allows them to promote other sites like onlyfans. CB is pretty liberal with allowing the models to do a lot of things that other sites don't.

Makes Chaturbate appear very model friendly.

just imho of course.
