| New Website & Attribute Standards | 02/05/2010 @ 10:41 AM |
| ![]() | ![]() | Hey Folks,
Below is some of the latest things going over here.
NEW WEBSITE
Yesterday I soft launched a new website into our network, myCamGuys.ca.
myCamGuys.ca is designed using the same underlying technology which powers myCamGirls.ca and focused on the male modeling side of the business including: "Straight", "Gay", "Bisexual", and "Transsexual" males.
Visit the site at: http://www.mycamguys.ca
ATTRIBUTE STANDARDS
First off, "attributes" refers to the details which are shared amongst multiple models like "Orientation", "Ethnicity", "Country", etc.
I've been doing a lot of brainstorming lately, and have started to develop some "standards" which my sites will start to follow shortly. Some of these standards have already been implemented within myCamGuys.ca during it's creation.
What does this mean? Well basically, I'll be compiling a growing list of approved "attributes" and their associated values. I'll also be converting related attribute values into a single standard value across the board.
I believe by standardizing the attributes found on the websites, it will make finding what you're looking for easier and more efficient.
*** Note: attribute names and/or values appearing on our website may slightly vary on the linked source site. (ex. I'll be using "Latin" to refer to any model who is otherwise listed as "Latin", "Latin American", or "Hispanic" on the source website.) ***
OUR TECHNOLOGY
I think it's important to mention that, myCamGirls.ca and myCamGuys.ca (as well as any future website on the network) are fairly unique compared to many websites you may have encountered in the past.
The reason for this is, while I "spider" known data feeds of third-party cam sites, I don't simply display what they show directly from these feeds in a generic manner. My spidering technology is something that has been designed in-house, and is proprietary to my operations. I spider, sanatize, and standardize content from a number of sources into a single "unfiied" database. This is the database you are initially searching or viewing content from when visiting our website.
By hosting my own database, thumbnails, and other related content, I'm able to fully customize the user experience, provide more detailed search options, and offer the largest collection of models from around the web.
However, like most other sites, I do utilize when possible an affiliate linking method to generate some revenue from the source website upon signup or usage of their service. This is simply because that's how I fund the services.
Bottom line, I'm not simply using some pre-built turnkey solution provided by an affiliate program, and/or software company. I am a freelance web developer, and the technology powering my websites is completely proprietary, and designed by me for the usage on these sites.

Anyways, that's what's new! So keep your eyes peeled for some changes in the coming weeks as I work to sanatize the content and implement the standards mentioned above. Also in the near future, I'll be putting my spider to work in an automated fashion throughout the day collecting new model profiles and building the database more rapidly across the two sites.
Oh, and before I forget, as promised more content is being developed for both sites in parallel. This includes but is not limited to: Videos, Photos, and other cool stuff!
-Cheers | |
