Looks EXACTLY like it always did.
And here is a sponsored vid from Penthouse: http://www.pornhub.com/view_video.php?viewkey=857919786
One text link above the video...then the rest of the page spammed up so hard with pre-paid ad spots that it's a joke.
One of the FIRST things I learned in marketing is to focus. And if you're going to use some valuable real estate on a page to sell something else...don't make it look spammy.
Me and everyone I know that KNOWS how to make money on a freesite would look at that and see nothing but an amateurish page that is designed to do nothing but get views on an ad that is pre-paid.
Pornhub guys have NO idea how to market a paysite from that page. |
It's still good branding though. If 100 million people viewed your video and you tagged it right, plus you run a hard anti-torrent / DMCA program - if people like what they see, they will search for it again later and hopefully pay.
It's not a perfect strategy, but it's one I'd at least be willing to try.
