These sites (big cash programs) told me that they thought it was good business to get exposure on the tube sites. Some of these sites had 100's of videos about 7 minutes long on tube sites. I personally don't think that tube sites are good for business. Unless there is a click through people just won't take the time to type in a url. Tube sites are bad for business.

i think tubes sites can a great way for affiliates to promote many different niches if done properly, similar to TGP/MGP with samples and teasers. i don't care if they buy content and want to devalue it by putting up full length videos because that's their choice. i'd even be up for donating a few full clips if they put up an affiliate link to my site and did it properly.
the illegal tubes have absolutely no regard for content producers and are not interested in supporting the very industry that is making them money. they are leaches who hide behind legal loop holes.
