I don't understand why people are not being more creative about how they brand their content. Take for example Dogfart, if you go to one of their tours they have mini interviews for each trailer where the model mentions their website domain multiple times
1) Audio branding - You'd have to go to great lengths to edit that out of scenes
2) Creative Watermarks - It wouldn't take much extra effort to have watermarks appear in other areas of the video i.e. in the centre of the video for 5 - 10 seconds etc

I agree with you about being creative with watermarks but guess WHAT??? Tubes will not let you do what you are saying. SOME will allow the watermark in the center but most want SMALL watermarks in the lower-right corner and will reject a clip if the watermark is too big, a logo, etc etc.
JT: I want to be clear about some objections I've raised to your posts in the past. I think I can sum up "my problem" with your Tube guide, your overall Tube strategy and how (excuse me) boastful you seem to be about it all.
I have already mentioned (and you ignored) how the major tubes post your videos about once every 3 hours (by my unscientific count) while others (mine, for example) get posted once a day-to-once every 3 days (at best). Now why is that? it is NOT because your videos are longer or your banners are better or your CTR is better. My videos, for example, have similar (if not better) ratios than yours do and I would venture to guees that if the major tubes posted MY videos once every 3 hours I, too, would be mega-rich and quite boastful about my success.
Here's my problem JT: Please look at the major tubes homepages. See how many (non-Ruseful) 12+ minute videos are on there? See how many views they get? Nowhere near as many as yours.....huh.
I'm talking X-Art, the new EroticaX (ErosExotica says you're welcome for that inspiration, Gamma), Nubiles, other "erotic"-type content. (And when it comes to "Porn valley"-type 12 minute clips the views are even worse). While you can find examples of a high-view 12 minute clip from the sites I mentioned (and I have) the reality is that the majority of their clips DO NOT do the kind of views (and I'm guessing CTR) your clips do. Again, just look for yourself. Tons of 12 minute clips with 10k views, right next to yours with 400k views. Again, hmmm.
So my "problem" (if that's what it is; it's more like an observation) is that you come on here touting your strategy, claiming no special Bro favours, claiming it's all organic growth. Yet I do NOT see others who have followed your strategy having the same success. Yes, you can claim large companies doing well with your Guide to the Tubes (Gamma and others you mentioned) but they are all LARGE companies, with seemingly endless scenes to throw out there. Smaller companies (like mine) simply cannot compete. And the thing is, all those 12 minute clips the "Bros" are throwing out there? They aren't doing the business you claim, only cluttering up the landscape and making everything worse for the majority of Webmasters.
I congratulate you on your success JT, I honestly do. I have theories as to what's happening but I won't share them here because, in the end, they really don't matter. You are rocking and I congratulate you! But I also contend that your info, while appreciated, does not translate to many other paysites, programs and webmasters.
I would love to be proven wrong and to see other (non-Bro) companies come on here and say how their revenue has increased dramatically due to your "longer is better" strategy. I just can't seem to get past the point tho that Brazzers only puts up 5 minute+ videos on their own tubesites instead of 12 minute clips. Hmmm....
