Whitelabel 2.0 new features
Friday
Nov 12, 2010
The list of features of our Whitelabel 2.0 have been extended.
Now you have more options to customize your webcam site to your own taste.
Please note that all changes have to be saved by clicking on the „SAVE” tab in the header. The approval of new settings may take up to 24 hours.
If you log in to your Whitelabel 2.0 editor site, under the Custom text tab you can find the following new features:
1: Robots.txt for complete Search Engine Optimization:
“Robots.txt” is a regular text file. Thanks to its name, it has special meaning by the majority of “honorable” robots on the web. By defining a few rules in this text file, you can instruct robots to not crawl and index certain (or all) files, directories within your site.


2: Geo-targeted language selection: The Whitelabel 2.0 automatically recognizes the language of your visitor’s preference (within the range of the currently available languages).
3: Surprises: From now on members can give surprises to the models of their choice, just like on Livejasmin, to show their appreciation with some extra money.
4: Signup page custom text: You can add additional text to urge your visitors to sign up.
Let’s see what it can look like (red frame), an example can be found on http://new.freestreamtv.lsl.com

5: Login page custom text: Works basically the same way as the signup page custom text.

6: Custom menu: It places a link next to the ’PornStars Wanted’ link in the footer. With the custom menu you can redirect your visitors to another page, for example to your original page.
Example: You own the domain ’coolestsite.com’ and a whitelabel ’coolestcamsite.com’.
If you enter the URL of ’coolestsite.com’ in your whitelabel editor, by clicking on it, your visitors will get to that page from ’coolestcamsite.com’. (example shown on a test site)

7: Category specific custom texts: First choose a category with the ’Category selector’. You can add text on the top (large/small) to further describe the category or to add some catchy comment on the given category.

8: Custom Banners: You can place your custom banner on the main page that points to a site of your choice.
Go to the ’Colors and Previews’ tab in your editor. Below the categories of Experts, you can find a slot where you can add the URL of the site you would like your banner to direct your visitors to (red arrow):

To submit your custom banner for approval, upload it via the pop-up window that you will get by pushing the „Click here to upload the custom banner” section. Once it is approved it will look similar to the one that appears on http://new.freestreamtv.com:

9: Featured category:
Last but not least, we launched the Featured category option that allows you to create your own category with a selection of your favourite models.
In the Whitelabel 2.0 editor go to the Categories tab. The Featured category can be edited in the following section:

First and foremost, do not forget to enable the feature. You can give a title to the category, add the text that will appear in the URL of the category (with no spaces included!), and add the description of the category.
Now you can move on to select the models that will appear in your Featured category. Click on the ’Edit Your featured models’ link indicated with the red arrow above.
You will be directed to the following page:

You can filter by name/category and list them alphabetically, in classic view etc. – you can even see the models listed by willingness.
You can select the particular models you wish to show in your Featured category by marking them as shown below (with red arrows). You can select several models.

Once you have completed these steps, you can close this page and go back to the Editor page, then send your Featured category for approval or save it as draft.
When it is approved, your category will appear on your site:

Members will see the selected models currently online if they click on your Featured category.
Later, if you want to change the list of models appearing in the category, go to the ’Categorize models’page that can be reached directly from the page where your Whitelabels are listed:

How to create an AWE Whitelabel in 10 minutes
Thursday
Sep 30, 2010
Below you will find an easy to use step-by-step manuol on how to set up your own Whitelabel 2.0.
First go to the Whitelabel 2.0 editor here.
Click on „Create new Whitelabel”
Enter the domain you would like to whitelabel.
As you can see a subdomain of our lsl.com is also needed. This is only an intermediate page where customers will go for the first step of the payment process. This page is also branded and colored according to your whitelabel site.

Now there is one very important step to dom, You need to set the DNS records as the following:
Point the domainname.com DNS “A” Record to 109.71.162.228
Point the www.domainname.com DNS “A” Record to 109.71.162.228
Point the members.domainname.com DNS “A” Record to 109.71.162.228
Point the img.domainname.com DNS “A” Record to 109.71.160.228
Point the mail.domainname.com DNS “A” Record to 80.77.113.10 and set the “MX” record to mail.domainname.com
Please note, that the img. IP is one digit different from the others, so copy paste will not do it!

You can check anytime whether your records have been set correctly. The records are updated globally usually within 24 hours, therefore if you get the result: „Not OK” shortly after you set it, it does not mean that something is wrong.
If you still get the result Not OK do not hesitate to contact us to find out what is wrong.
How to choose domain names:
Please note that the use of our brand names or other known brandnames or trademarks, typos and name variations is not allowed in domains unless the brand/trademark belongs to you.
In the first slot, you can add your domain name. That will be the URL of your Whitelabel site.
In the second slot, a recommended lsl.com subdomain name is generated for you, however you can change this if you would like.
At the moment, you are not able to use a subdomain of your own site to have the whitelabel on (livecams.yourdomain.com) and currently domain extensions without periods are allowed only (for example co.uk is not allowed).
These features will be available soon so stay tuned!
After clicking the „Create” button, you will get to the next screen:

Click on the grey cog to get into edit mode.
HTML Meta data tab:
This is where you can set the Meta data: title, keywords and description of the different pages.
You can also enter your Google analytics code
The following phrases can be entered above and will be automatically substituted with the appropriate value. For example: Your whitelabel is domain.com, {DOMAINNAME} will be substituted with “yourdomain.com”.
{DOMAINNAME} The domain name of the Co-branded/Whitelabel site.
{CATEGORIES} List of enabled categories, separated with commas.
{CATEGORY} The name of the currently selected category.
{SUBCATEGORY} The name of the currently selected sub-category.
{PERFORMERNAME} The performer’s name.

Custom text tab: You can enter custom text for search engine optimization

You can see an example in the picture below how it works on Livejasmin:
-Main page large top and lower text in blue frame
-Main page small top and lower texts in green frame

Categories tab: Here you can select the different categories and subcategories you wish to see on your whitelabel site. You can add every category, but you have the option to narrow down the categories if you wish to create a thematic site. (for example blonde girls only, latin couples etc., but every variation is possible)



Colors and previews tab: This is where you „dress up” your site. You can select from the Pre-made color schemes or choose colors section by section. The initials stand for the section for which you set the color (T for Text color, BG for Background color etc.). Click on these icons to change each color individually. On the appearing palette you can choose from several shades by moving the small circle.

Save tab. This is where you can save it as draft and later you can edit it. If you have finished the design and ready to launch the whitelabel, save and send it for approval.

Friday
May 7, 2010
You can have your own cam site up and running in 10 Minutes. Here is an example site that was created with our co-brand editor: http://www.777cams.lsl.com
Before beginning please read the rules and regulations here.
Please log in and click on the link below:
http://www.awempire.com/members/new_promo_tools/plugins/cobrand/preview.php
1.) On the top left corner you can select one of the pre-designed color schemes or you can choose your own colors later.
2.) Select a sub domain: www.yoursite.lsl.com

3.) Type in a new splash page text or you can leave the default text in place.

4.) Now you can add the metadata for each page, “title”, “description” and “keywords”

5.) On the right side you can choose the categories and the default opened category. For example if you want only lesbians on your cobrand site select only the lesbian category this way other niches will not be visible on your site.
6.) You can scroll down now and upload your Splash page logos (a bigger 380X450 and a smaller 284×104). For the larger image you can select the pre existing pictures from the default opened category menu by clicking on the PIC#1 next to each category.

Once you uploaded the splash page logos, you can scroll down again and upload the third logo underneath the WHO IS ONLINE text (the size should be 762X70).

You can now upload the Member benefits banner. You can leave the existing one or upload you own 166×169 banner. You can change the box title if you wish to and select a custom destination URL. (by default it takes you to the signup page)

7.) If you want to further customize the colors of your page you can do that by clicking on the different items and select the color you want, for each part.

When you are done click on “Save and Submit Approval” on the bottom of the page.
Now you just have to wait a short time while our support team checks and approves your co-branded cam site.Please don’t forget to save your cobrand as a draft often.
Common mistakes:
- similar colors (for example the background color is similar to the font color) Please also check the chat to ensure that the text is clearly visible
- generic subdomain names such as “sex.lsl.com”, “cams.lsl.com”
- hardcore pictures uploaded as logos on the splash page
- other domain names in the logos for example yoursite.com (yoursite.lsl.com is ok)
I hope this information helped you create your Co-branded cam site, If you get stuck for some reason or you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact our account managers, they will be happy to assist you.
