So how many sales did you lose exactly because of tube sites? 100? 0?
My sales are better than ever. I hope there will be more tube sites because sales seem very steady atm.
So 20 tube threads a day about how they kill the industry. Please tell me how theyre killing your sites. How much did you lose exactly? Did you lose anything at all? Or are you just crying about tube sites because its a cool thing to do? How big is the chance exactly that someone who visits a tube site was about to buy a membership at your site or sponsor and didnt because of a tube site...how many times does that actually happen you think? About twice a year? |

You know whats funny. Rapidshare distributes about 1000 times more free porn. Full movies in dvd quality. Its way bigger than all that tube shit together and nobody cries about it. Why? Because it isnt out in the open. We ignore it.
Nobody cried about sales when Rapidshare started getting big last year while if it affects sales its 1000 times worse than tubes. Nobody said anything about losing sales but now with the 100 tube threads every week i have to read every day how its killing the industry. Seriously, you people are fucking idiots. The biggest fucking dumb ignorant idiots i know off. Look at some of the big program owners here crying every day how theyre gonna sue some tube site because there are three of their 20 min movies on that site. Well newsflash morons. I was able to download those movies and the rest of your shitty site last year already through Rapidshare in 15 mins. |

I agree with you Dirty F
Until recently the hun had enough photos and vids to make any guy happy Im sure and people still signed up for programs. Tubes are now replacing old sites such as the hun as technology improves and yes they have huge clips but I still think the type of surfers they attract wouldnt in most cases join a site anyway. Some people here who have worked with tubes have openly admitted that they have seen ratios of 0 in 60,000 from tube traffic. The market is changing like every market does but I think anyone who is suffering a downturn blames it on tubes etc instead of maybe looking at thier own sites and what they can do to move with the times.

Ok, lets not completely change the subject to RS because that wasnt the intention of this thread. It was just an example. What im trying to say is please tell me exactly how many sales you lost because of tube sites because im not noticing any sales loss. By what i read that within 1 year the industry is dead because of tube sites i would say the loss in sales should be highly noticable by now..shouldnt it?

i posted this in another thread but it may fit here as well
Here is how I think it will play out There will be a company that people will go to to register their content and that company will have systems to patrol the tube sites and automatically dmca the content. This will become a cost of doing business. And was done at one point before, Steve Easton from apic For tube sites with legitimate content, you cant do anything about that expect offer a better product, which will not be a problem for about 35% of the sites out there. However, with time and technology in the next few years, dl speeds will get faster and there will be more and more content on those sites as it accumulates. And there will become technologies to categorize and manage it and it will become a lot harder to compete. Its like open source porn Drm may be a solution, but I think that as the quality of the video increases, within a few years, there will be sites with Lots of quality porn. I have a friend at one of the processors and he mentioned that in the past few years, the subscription site model has been declining, while the cam site model has increased dramatically Food for thought

but to comment on the topic, i think that most 85% of the traffic that tube sites get are from sufers that would not buy a membership anyway.

Most random surfer forums have more and better content than the biggest tube sites out there. Full member areas (in combination with RS often) and besides a 10 post thread every now and then i dont hear anybody about it.
But mention the word tube and we get posts how its the end of the world. Once again most of you are so fucking ignorant, including site owners that i wonder how you ever made it this far. |

I don't know a single person (outside of this industry) that uses rapidshare.
Then again, I'm 27 now....so I'm not hanging with the college crowd anymore. Sue me.

Funny how this thread quickly dies and only 4 different people post in it.
If i started a thread where i said i found a video from Occash on a tube site it would be a 5 pager with all the big site owners getting together to fight it. |

It's because no one cares to debate with you, because everyone knows you are mentally challenged.

Are you serious..... between the ages of 13-26 ide say are your target RS and tube site, torrent surfers...... Now how many of them do you think have credit cards? How many still live with mom and dont want to give a mailing address IF they do? You see thats the hornyest age group to hit..... only downloading stolen content fits there life alot better than trying to buy it. I expect my content to get on there eventually but its going to turn them on for a year or two till they can join and i have a 3 year rebill from it. Im looking forward to it

Saying your sales are steady or rockin means nothing.. You could be selling cams.. or dating.. or some narrow niche for all we know... The one thing I've noticed for sure is that my brazzer sales (pure SE traffic that's stayed steady) have practically dissappeared as their exposure on the tube sites has grown.

That would mean that every fucking surfer out there with a cc would not only surf tube sites but also not sign up to Brazzers anymore because they saw a few videos for free. Imfuckingpossible so you, like all other people are blaming your loss in sales on tube sites while that simple isnt the reason. There are 100's of millions of people who could potentially buy through your link...only a small % of those people ever saw a Brazzer vid for free on a tube site and only a very fucking small % of those people wont buy a membership becuase they found three 30 minute videos. |

your sales could be even even better than what they are now, if there was less free porn available. Free porn may mean tube sites. ![]()

However, it's not just whether or not they've seen a video, it's that the last tube site I saw had brazzer banners on practically every page of the site.. In that case, there's a higher probability that a surfer hitting those sites will have been exposed to brazzers and possibly "desensitized" to it before they ever hit my site. We all know that the longer something is in the publics eye the harder and harder it is to make a sale as it goes stale. But again.. I'm just saying what I've noticed with my traffic... You can take it however you want... |

If surfers want movies they will find them anyway they can and there never going to buy memberships -- EVER! That's not the surfer traffic you want. You want the free new internet surfer that doesn't know about the illegal tube sites or places like Rapidshare.
I'm running my legal tube sites and im getting pretty good traffic from them. Lots of bookmakers and im seeing lots of sales -- which is great. I know lots of my clients using my software are seeing those sales too.

All I can say is, Programs can send dcma notices to remove content yes, if its on sites without authority, but thats the only thing you can cry about, but if you are talking about actual conversions, its the quality of traffic you have, sure people will download porn all day from tube sites, but you don't want that kind of traffic.
