This is the last I'm going to say about this in any thread, because it's not a good idea to educate your competition, but people did help me out when I was coming up so from time to time I pay that forward.
If you don't own a tube, then you can only speculate as to what they make. You really have no idea what they make and what they make it on, unless you're doing it.
Those of you who think they give too much away and that's bad for business may be right, but you're not going to be able to compete with them for the eyeballs unless you offer a similar product.
Just ask picpost and toplist owners how much money they make from those sites today, the ones who refused to evolve to the link list and then the TGP. (yes I know those older top sites are still around, but they're tiny now in terms of traffic, there was a time when they were the biggest porn sites on the net)
Even those of you who think doing SEO will keep you from having to give away content to get visitors better think again. The search engines are figuring out that people searching for free porn, actually want to see free porn, not a page with a bunch of links to paid porn.
Bounce rate is the future of SEO, IMHO, and building a sticky site is going to be the way to climb up in the SERPS.
Google knows it has to return relevant results in order to keep end users happy, so when someone searches for "big tits video" google is going to give them pages with big tits videos, not a page with a bunch of text about big tits videos or a page with alot of inbound links with the anchor text "big tits video".
Alot of people screamed and yelled and cried about TGP's and how they were ruining biz, giving away the store....and let's not go off on a tangent about how this is different and TGP's weren't that bad.....the point I'm making here is that no amount of bitching stopped the proliferation of TGP's (remember TGP2?)....the link lists never regained their prominence....the people who complained and cried foul missed out....the people who saw the writing on the wall and adapted are the ones who prospered.
Today is no different.
