All the traffic is on a few tubes and even google sux now its all filtered customize search and even at that google only likes tubes, I do well with long tail tube searches, but not enough to live on now. But it is tube videos that hold the good spots and the long tail not blogs, so you saying you live on directory traffic? I doubt that I have seen that traffic I do have a few blogs that kill but it's no scalable as people think and it's not enough, even if i convert 1:20 thats fucking $200 a month from this sponsor and that sponsor a month on the kind of traffic that can be generated organicaly these days.

Anyway fuck it sorry for the argument i am pissed of all the time and depressed all the time these days, nothing works.
Most of the converting traffic is from SE's. Most people that say there is no money to be made simply don't put in the work It takes to make It. 10 years ago you could submit 2 galleries a day to a bunch of TGP's and make few couple thousand a month, that just wont cut It anymore. People need to find things that work for them traffic and conversion wize and then scale It up. For me blogs work, might not for you though. I have my list I follow when I build a new blog, It usually get's to ~200 uniques a day within a week or 2 and then It's all about adding links and quality content.
