Tube sites make no money. (business thread) - GoFuckYourself.com

BV · 02-07-2009, 01:15 AM

I'm evaluating stats right now and tube sites don't even register on the map!!!

Affiliates, please drop this business model ASAP!!!!!

You are losing money!!!!!!!

Dating and live cam sites are cashing in on it though.

Fact......

BV

PS: I am proactive and was one of the first to have bulk tube dumps. Fact is it was a waste of fucking time. Tube sites don't make any sales worth mentioning. Period,

Jon Clark - BANNED FOR LIFE · 02-07-2009, 01:37 AM

ok.......

Makingcoin · 02-07-2009, 01:37 AM

We just added a bulk tube dump with 2 minute clips, we are also adding hosted flash galleries daily. We are already seeing sales from our hosted flvs on legal tubes.

BV · 02-07-2009, 01:41 AM

bullshit

post stats

i have had hosted flvs out for a year

i just ran stats

tube sites aren't even registering on the needle

all sales are coming from tgp mgp and blog type sites

tube sites are a waste of time is what i am coming to realise

all talk no action

except for dating and cam sites, they are cashing in like a motherfucker off all the paysites content

Ozarkz · 02-07-2009, 01:44 AM

A lot of these sites have been online for years tho they are being backed for a reason.

Zorgman · 02-07-2009, 01:44 AM

Maybe your doing it wrong BV... tube sites work for me. Not just selling software, but running the sites too. Their easy to use and you can leave them and they auto update. I can't see the costs of being a paysite owner and hosting the videos due to the fact im not a paysite owner. But with so many people using them its got to be working, TEVS is over 2500 domains atm. Lots of big and small players have them. They wouldn't if they didn't make money.

mmcfadden · 02-07-2009, 01:45 AM

i like that kinda traffic... in about a year I can upgrade to a pack of malboro's...

i have another thread about this as well...

KillerK · 02-07-2009, 02:17 AM

This thread of full of BS.

Unless you mean legit, legal tube sites then you are correct. They make dick. But tubes with full videos make so much money it is sick.

tube users are way bigger freeloaders than tgp users will ever be.

TeenCat · 02-07-2009, 02:50 AM

depends on tube, all the big tube sites are filled with mainstream bullshit porn that is everyone bored about. if you have niche targeted tube site you can do well imho. lets wait when beachtube will be up, it will be not tube based but i will use your tube videos, lets pray for some results ...

gideongallery · 02-07-2009, 08:22 AM

well judging for how you are equating success it obvious you are doing it wrong
let me guess
you are giving away short ass clips
and counting the sales that come in thru the join links that are on each one of the host pages.

when you should be giving away long clips
verbally and visually branding your site
and counting the increased type in traffic.

Reak AGV · 02-07-2009, 09:10 AM

It's true, there's NO MONEY IN TUBES!!! ;)

PastorSinAlot · 02-07-2009, 09:16 AM

tube sites make money
When i came out with hoodtube in three months was bringing in 3000k net.
Freakytube did well also. Ghettotube is off to a good start. You can make money. I am sure some people dont make money with blogs and some people do. Its how you market, niche etc

Iron Fist · 02-07-2009, 09:32 AM

No more tubes mmkay? I'm starting up a pipe.

It's amazing how much out of touch with reality people can get.
Smoked too much weed, huh?
I suggest you get sober and then check your bank account again.

fuzebox · 02-07-2009, 10:27 AM

Just saying "tube sites" doesn't really mean anything... For every big tube gettin 3-500k+ per day, there's a thousand little ones who are adding sponsor hosted flvs and generating a couple thousand uniques a day, and not making any sales.

The statement "tube sites make no money" isn't accurate, the statement should be "small tube sites that use sponsor hosted flvs make no money".

It's like targeting 'free' keywords in SEO - why are you surprised?

Selling snow to eskimos never worked either.

So you mean he should use the clips to exploit and fuck over his affiliates!
Nice thinking

Pleasurepays · 02-07-2009, 11:56 AM

i love this idea that tube sites are pointless... yet they exist and thrive.

would seem to me that if they made no money and served no purpose... they would be gone already.

LadyMischief · 02-07-2009, 12:04 PM

Ya I don't think I could quite agree.. but I guess it depends on WHICH tube you are talking about.

It's called venison.

The thing about tube sites is if I can blow my load without having to buy a membership, and I get new vids daily - why the fuck would I spend any money? My keyboard and my belly button can both attest to this,

HorseShit · 02-07-2009, 12:16 PM

legal tube sites are retarded, if you're a sponsor and providing 2 min clips to them don't expect to be rolling in a ton of cash, no good tube site gives a fuck about 2 min clips.

What difference does that make?

That point could be argued for any large traffic site, not just a tube, we all know prepaid spots aren't going anywhere

The difference it makes is if its all prepaid means no one could be buying anything. Also no one talks about how large of the percentage of surfers that go to tubes are even old enough to have a credit card therefore cant buy product?

Big tube sites send sales to paysites without even having a link to them

The people with ad spots on big tubes are doing very well and wouldn't be renewing every month if they weren't.

Agent 488 · 02-07-2009, 12:50 PM

people should look at reality as it is - not through your desires and fears.

tubes - not making a point on whether i like them or not - have been around for awhile, aren't going anywhere and the ads are renewed month after month. take from that what you will.

Agent 488 · 02-07-2009, 12:52 PM

and as far as the free porn argument - should not everyone shop at wal-mart and take the bus because it is cheapest?

sorry man, but you are way off on this. if your tube site is not making money, its probably because its not set up to convert surfers to customers. just loading up 2 or 15 minute long videos doesnt mean you are going to make money. take what you have learned in the past 5+ years from TGPs to MGPs to Blogs and use the same strategy to make money

Another reason for Ads being renewed may not be because of sales but because of fear if their presence isn't there in front of all that traffic.

waiting for some hypothetical future where the tubes may not exist does not help one to make money now.
