Awempire review
Awempire with its flagship site Livejasmin is one of the major players in the adult video chat arena. AWE is known to be one of the best converting webcam sponsors due to its easy of use, strong brand and innovative promos.
One of the main advantages of adult webmaster empire and its main video chat site live jasmin is the success they had in adopting the web 2.0 principles. All their sites, awempire included, are, first of all, social networks. While this should be a given for video chat sites most of them fail at this aspect. Affiliate wise, through their board, awe managed to create a fanbase that helps them staying ahead with affiliate needs and address most of the affiliate problems in an open manner. As a new affiliate the vast amount of knowledge existing between their webmasters and their willingness to help should give you a good boost.
The most controversial aspect of awempire is their revshare model which uses cookies, not the best way of tracking in today’s internet, and they expire after 14 days. What this means, best case scenario, is that you will get 30% of what your referred customer spends over the first two weeks. After the cookie expires the said customer can be re-cookied by you or another webmaster for another periods. Besides the liftetime limit, cookies can be easily erased by the customer or by privacy protection software. Webmasters feelings about this aspect are divided, one part claims, despite the cookie problems, awe makes them most money compared with the other problems, the other part uses every occasion to tear them down.
Pluses:
- Good amount of promo tools and promo material.
- The free chat make it an easy sell.
- Several niched sites
- Pays on time every time, most of the times earlier than it should
- Their revshare model makes it easy for new webmasters to get sales
Minuses:
- Sales are tracked by cookies and they expire after 14 days. You need to re-cookie the same customers to get the commissions, some sales are lost to privacy protection software (by erasing your tracking cookies)
- The hosted galleries and the downloadable model images are outdated
- Too many freeloaders in the free chat area makes the cam girls ignore potential customers
- Although they charge EU customers in Euros you get paid 30% of the same amount of US Dollars.
- No way to identify a sale except campaigns
