I am not here to defend the tubes, but we launched the CPP program in March 2007 and we bought as much licensed content as possible. That is also why I helped anyone that reached out to me about how to monetize the tubes back then, and that is why I help a lot of people now, because quite simply, thats where the traffic is. And without traffic, its pretty hard to succeed.

I would rather deal with the tubes and their traffic and increase my odds of winning. But bottom line, if the users of the tubes don't like your content, then its an uphill struggle, and those are the content owners that normally fail with a tube campaign, and of course, for them, the fault lies with the tubes, and they dont look at themselves or the quality of their content.

Every site I launch is backed by data. I know what the tube users are watching, rating, commenting on. I spend at least 2 hours a day looking at clips on all the tubes, looking why they succeeded, why they failed. Looking at the amount of views, what they tagged their cips with, what they named the clip, different keywords etc etc. This information is there for EVERYONE to see on the tubes.

The tubes are like a huge shopping mall, and for you, its like having an electrical store in that mall. The Mall gives you access to lots of freely available data on what the visitors are looking to buy. But you ignore this data and you stock the shelves in your electrical store with items that you like or guess they will buy. So, when a prospective member walks through the doors of the mall, and puts his head in your door, and see's that you dont have what he wants, then not only will he not buy anything, but most likely, he will never come into your store again. Thats why every clip you upload to the tubes should be the best possible representation of your brand. And this data, seriously, its every where you look on the tubes. Look at the bottom of RedTube for instance, they actually give you the latest top 500 searched for terms. Use all this data to your advantage, I do.

I wish you luck with JudoPorn.com, I believe that the next biggest innovation since the tubes is around the corner, I sincerely hope its yours, as I will be the first to make use of your traffic with my brands (if you'll have me that is!)
