Good point.But in the beginning, we all bought the same old Z-Master content and made galleries and hosted them ourselves. Unfortunately the surfer was pissed when they joined the paysite and couldn't find the girl in the gallery that had turned them on.
As far as search engine traffic..yeah. BUT...up until a few years ago everybody was loading up meta tags with misleading keywords and descriptions. You could put the word "football" in and find yourself at a porn site. People got tired of that too.
And then of course there was EMAIL. Jesus Christ....what a huge disaster that ended up being.
I believe that our tgp's became huge quite simply because they turned out to be the best way to advertise.
Just like a football team COULD just run the ball every play. But why not throw a pass?
I'm just not so sure that the ways you're describing would be as effective an advertising tool.
I'm pretty good at advertising and figuring out ways to make money WITHOUT fucking the surfer over or being shady. At least I've been pretty good at making a lot of money for a lot of people I've promoted over the years. And I've seen different fads come and go.
Who knows? Maybe tube sites will be the worst thing that ever happened.
But I doubt it. I see people opening tube sites left and right but none of them are gonna work in my opinion.
The tube site and bit torrent site phenomena has a LOT to do with the social interaction of the surfers uploading the movies. Trust me....as a guy who has spent hours searching for my content to get it pulled down. There are thousands of forums just loaded with guys who do nothing but brag about and earn reputations for uploading the most free porn that they willingly pay for memberships to sites just to get.
They practically live for the pat on the back from their bros on those forums.
I read it all the time. It's how I find my shit and get it pulled down.
That's why all the people jumping up and starting tube sites are going to be sorely disappointed. They think it's just the porn that people are coming to see. But it's not.
It's a whole social phenomena. And a legal tube site that does NOT allow the surfers to upload stolen content doesn't offer the surfer anything special.
It's almost like doing karoake to these surfers. They basically build their "own" pornsites on the upload sites and take credit for it and think they are "famous".
That is the driving force behind those sites. Without those guys, you just have a scripted upload site. A cold and lonely place.
So in my humble opinion...if and when the illegal tube and torrent sites are shut down...the measly tgp/blog will once again prove itself to be the workhorse of traffic and signups.
But that's just my opinion. I'm sure there are many here who can shoot my thoughts all to hell. But that is the business model that I am operating on. So far it's sucessful. And until some type of legal judgement is made upon tube and torrents...I am gonna hang tough and continue working through it.
