Tubes how do you make money from them?
Tubes are becoming more popular every day both on mainstream and porn sites. Users go to tubes because they are so easy to use and they get tones of free porn wether it be 1 min clips or 30 min clips. I have run a tube site for just under a year now and I am seeing money not from hosted or embeded sponsor clips, why would they want to sign up to a sponsor when they can see clips for free on my tube site anyway. My tube is not aimed at a particular niche so I have no idea just how well they convert. My traffic can be be anything from 500 uv a day up to 2000+ uv a day My overall best day was 8000uv this all depends how much I work at it. Any way this has got me thinking about what they can and cant get for free on my tube site. Out of all of the sponsors I have on my tube, dating and totemcash seem to do ok and so does ppc sponsors. Just maybe this is one way to go with a multi niche tube site. You buy a load of cheap content which you put on your tube site.
Then just upsell dating, cams and other affliates that the surfer can not get for free, but the problem is which ones are they ? All I know is that I have 3 sponsors that convert on my tube and I do ok from ppc and not one of them is a paysite as such.Tubes can generate a large amount of traffic very quickly but its useless if it does not make you money. So how are you guys with tubes really doing with your affliates. I know webmasters are gonna come into the thread and say "I make millions from mine" well I call bullshit.
I can kinda understand why the "illegal" tubes are doing what they are doing by upselling dating, cams and advertising space. At the end of the day they are gonna be the ones making the money while the "paysites" get left behind. In theory you could do excatly the same as what they do but instead of using other peoples content you could buy your own. Any other tube site owners have any other thoughts about this.
