If anything they'll be scaled back and have membership. Bandwidth ain't free..

Maybe if a banner is put on the site in a totally different niche.

Dating, maybe. Or cams, I don't know. But no one will buy video content if you give away lots of trailers for free.

Not to mention the tube site with 10 mins + vids on them.

I cannot understand how the hell Youtube makes money. I've read where their bandwidth bill is over a million $$$ per month. Where does the money come from?

I must be missing something somewhere here.

Right, but they are mainstream and THE leader in video distribution.
The AFF and webcam affiliates most likely have similar conversion ratios as any other site. With that, their margins would be slimmer (bandwidth costs), unless, like I said they go with a pay per play model. Or, let other sites post their content as affiliates.
But as for free movies with AFF or webcams as the only income stream... I just don't see the pay out until bandwidth costs drop. Then you have the litigation from copyright claims(illegal tubes)..
I may be wrong, but I'd have to see the numbers to believe they are making a killing.

Ya, they're here to stay, but I don't think they're are the end all be all.

splogs and blogs will live on as long as they get search engine traffic
I can be in profit with splogs with a penny or less a day each.
Tube sites run on bookmarkers who are looking for free content. That can't be as profitable as someone searching you out with the normal ways of monetization.

Tube sites don't generate traffic on their own.

Fucking ace. Spot on.

Even if you have traffic, if it costs more than it makes you lose money. Getting a Tube site to make money is tough unless you can sit it on a good server which costs very little.

The future is giving the customer more reasons to sign up other than he HAS to pay. Because he clearly does not have to.

Sorry but not a bright post.

How do you know they make money?
Are they sitting on a server that costs little to nothing because of the link to AFF and others?
Because they make money, if they do, how does that relate to it being the future?

So many people in this business are totally clueless. They think it's about traffic, system or niche. It's about none of them. It's about delivering something the buyer wants at a price the buyer is willing to pay.

Thankfully few get it.
