    You are losing money!!!!!!!

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

    Fact......

    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,


    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

      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.
      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.

        I know he's right, because I know people who run large tube sites, I know people who buy ads on tube sites, and I know people who use watermarked clips to generate traffic from tube sites... And all of them make money.

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

              I suggest you get sober and then check your bank account again.

                    I'm pretty sure he meant to say $3000 though instead of 3000k :P

                      Well... I would love to answer that but everyone on Team Homegrown always gets nervous when I start doing things like that so please understand if I don't get specific. Hopefully those that might be influenced to make a business decision based on the information in this thread will run their own tests and dial in the successes or failures of any traffic source on the detriments or merits of their own content, products, services, etc.

                      imo, everyone needs to keep in mind that for everyone ready to give honest helpful advice there is someone else trying to keep others down by misdirection and subterfuge.

                        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

                        Nice tube, did you get permission from Don Cornelius to do the Soul Train video as your feature vid with the song playing for each visitor? And I could see a man's back sliced in half but I have to register to see a titty fuck vid?

                            All I know about tubes is that a few of the big ones were begging people to buy them. RedTube made it very clear that they wanted to be sold and fast.

                                Do you people read? He is saying they don't covert for his paysite. If you are pushing dating or cams on tubes, that is a different story. He is not talking about that.
