After reviewing the stats for a while, we came up with a metric that would help us recognize and reward those members who not only cam regularly, but for an extended duration and to many viewers. To do this, we chose to measure the Total Frames of a Broadcaster over the period selected.
The total frames of a broadcaster is not just a reflection of how long a member is broadcasting, but also a reflection of how many viewers are watching the cam. You could keep your cam on all day, but if it's pointing at a wall, you're not going to have many viewers, thus your Total Frames would likely be smaller than a member broadcasting for a shorter period of time, but with their face on cam and in chat.
Each month, we will publish a list of the 100 Top Cammers on ANYwebcam.com. During the course of the month, we will give an update or two, so that members know how they're going.
How many prizes will be given out each month?
Every month, we will award prizes to some of the Top Cammers in the Female, Group and Male categories, under the following terms:
Can I win more than once?
When you win a prize, you will be ineligible to win again for the following month. If your name appears at the top of the list during that month, the prize would go to the next member below you on the list and you will receive an honorable mention in the news announcement.
What if I already have a Lifetime membership?
If you already have a Lifetime membership and win another one, you may choose to gift that to a friend or you may choose to pass it to the next cammer down on the list. Lifetime memberships must be applied to the new account within 7 days of the Top Cammers List being published on the site.
Top Cammers Take II
Oct 8, 2009
What is the Top Cammers List?
The Top Cammers List came to fruition after building a monitoring system to allow us to gather information about the Webcam usage here at ANYwebcam.com.
We believe these stats, and the many more metrics behind the scenes will help us to improve the webcam usage on the site in a number of ways;
- Help us better identify and reward members for their webcamming contribution
- Help us to know more about the usage patterns to better plan for new development and infrastructure
- Help us improve our marketing to get more people on the site and on cam for you all to enjoy
