"At the peak of Jennicam's popularity, around the turn of the millennium, Ringley told The Post that her site got an average of 100 million visitors a week."
I watched a program on Discovery UK called Sex.com. Nothing to do with the website but all about internet porn and it had Danni from Danni's Hard Drive saying that her site still get 6 million hits a day.
So I would say the numbers could be true... but I don't always believe what I read or watch...

possible? realistic?

If you think about it I dont think she was inflating those numbers. She was one of the first and she started out at the beginnig using the old "donation" model we used to use with BBSes. SHe got around all of it by saying it was a realtime video diary of her life.

Maybe spurts that high, but more than likely she was counting hits not uniques in that number. Probably over a million visits per day I'd bet with her early entry into the cam game and all the publicity she got.

Danni Ash has always exagerated numbers.... she was pretty good at PR for a long time. The whole "Woman run porn", it was a nice myth to sell.
Jenicam blew lots of people out of the water, I remember at one time every major news outlet was covering the site, the Catholic church came out against her, etc... she was everywhere. She was a true pioneer.
Of course I think Danni and the Hun have made more money....
And at the end of the day, the bank account is what matters.

Hey, it takes all kinds. Jenni has never been a svelte supermodel type and she makes no apologies for it.
She still raked them in hand over fist - especially the voyeurs who would just sit and watch her do her computer work for hours on end hoping against hope that she'd hop on the bed and get nasty with her boyfriend.
She really was a true pioneer. Hope she made lots of bank from it.

maybe she is tryng to have a kid, no judge would allow her to have a kid if she continued her life online, so maybe thats why she is quitting, if in fact she really is.

Wow. When did the judicial branch of the gov't pass a law requiring a judge's approval before a woman could have a child?
News to me!

Oh, I see. It's not a judicial ruling, it's a Fletch ruling.
You should hurry right over to the amateur board and inform all of those cam girl moms that they are "slutty cam whore moms" and that they aren't *allowed* to raise their kids.
Come back when you've had your fill of a beating.

A pregnant girl giving a man shit becuase he doesnt think a child should be raised on his moms webcam!
Who would've thought.
My point was simple: If she had a child and was trying to continue to sell her life online and market the kid on her site, child protection would come after her.
Despite your bitterness, you can't deny that somewhere, someone would try and have her kids taken away.
Anyhow, no need to argue with the bitterness of another.

of course, if she was in the room we would all be kissing her ass like the stupid men that we are.
too true jr!!!!! especially the beer money boys we've welcomed to oprano!!! more pussy than most of them can handle
I love how the press uses the biggest number from statistics to make buzz articles - ie 10 000 000 hits is probably about 100 000 unique visitors ... big difference
We've had to put together stats reports for press for ImogenBailey.com & i've had some funny discussions with magazine people ... 'less than 1000 visitors a day? that's crap! let's use this several million number next to hits from 6 months ago when she was on tv'
Jenni is an interesting part of Internet history. The 10 million "hits" number is likely just that, server hits. Which she could've easily done considering that most of her viewers would've typically been sitting there waiting for a still cam refresh every 30-60 seconds or whatever her bandwidth could stand at any given time.
I would say she did at least 100,000 in uniques though, and during the peak when she was on Letterman and such, probably more like 200-250K.
She never really cashed in on it though. She's one of those people who I believe initially truly was not motivated by money. And I'm not sure she ever really was about the money even after she finally figured out she could make a lot of it. And the few people she trusted and received advise from on both business and technical levels were morons.
That site was up for 2-3 years before she charged ANYTHING. She would occasionally change servers and URLs just to save on bandwidth and make everyone find her again in the early days. There were no banner ads, no memberships. All those impressions just going to waste! Used to drive me crazy just thinking about it.
When she finally did start charging I think it was just to survive, she had a bandwidth bill from hell no doubt. Plus she found it hard to maintain a regular job because inevitably she'd get recognized at work.
She was the first and original "cam girl" and inspired a whole new genre of site and online wanking activity. She's a fascinating story. She could've easily made a couple of million with her traffic and parachuted out with enough money to be comfortable for the rest of her life. But I suspect, she has relatively little in the bank and few assets to show for it and will likely now go get a day job and move onto another phase of her life.
