After reading through this thread and thinking a LOT about the points made here, from both sides, here's where I stand:
When it comes to EXISTING content, affiliates and program owners with older SD content it is NOT in your best interest to submit 10+ videos to tube sites. Period.
IF SHOOTING NEW CONTENT: Then going about your business the way JT is describing (and proving) IS, short-term (1-3 years) the way to go. Tube surfers are differant from Blog readers or TGP visitors so how you market to them IS very differant. If you have the ability to shoot content with them in mind - and, again, very few of us have this ability - then you can maximize tube traffic the way JT does (and I do, to a smaller degree, since I rarely shoot my own content but instead work with "established" content).
I have a network of 32 paysites and some doing amazingly well with the tubes, others so-so, some tank altogether. Those that do the best are actually very similar to JT's sites (all HD, extremely unique content). The others that do so-so have older SD content but the Tours/site name/domain are unique enough to be branded well on tubes and make a few sales. The ones that tank are the ones with the most generic, played out content.
I don't have the resources to shoot multiple scenes a week so I tweak what I DO have control over: the paysite Tours, which is why my conversion ratios are so high and I am able to stay in business. If I DID film my own content I would shoot it like JT does....until the pendulum swung back the other way then I'd go old-school/hardcore amateur porn again.
Will reach out to you later. I'm in NYC tho I've been to Praha and have actually fucked and filmed some of the models on your websites. LOL
