But,if a models video is on page one with 500,000+ views and you see NO spike in sales...Something is very very wrong.

Seen it many times, ive had an autumn masturbation video on a tube site (tube8) before i noticed it and sent a dmca and had it removed right after that. I went back and looked at the date it was released and they were average days at best, most of the sales the few days after were pretty much from affiliates so i knew they couldn't have sent more than one (max)
I also tested a very good affiliate website (petiteteenager's tube site - which gets videos alot of views) and when a new gallery hits it, i dont see any sales from them, even when i gave them an exclusive full length. However when a new photoset hits their photo page, sells like crazy with very little traffic.
I have more experiences but im sure you get the point.
Those are just from my experience. I have also asked many other owners and they have had the same experience with their models. No spikes when their videos hit tubes, even when they had massive views.
And im not being biased, autumn is a newer model and shes very high in the list of top models in the niche, so if anyone is going to sell, its going to be her, she sells pretty well.
Im not sitting here saying it's impossible, im just saying, it takes alot of trial and error and alot more error in my opinion. And unless you have something that hits many markets, it will be extremely hard. Or something very unique. But as far as the typical paysite goes, extremely hard to profit on tubes.
My view on it, if you start doing marketing via tubes, youre going to put your content in the crosshairs of the people you rather not, tube surfers are the ones that search the net for free content. Theyre the type of surfers who share content and upload them to filelockers, etc. - while i may be stereotyping, i dont believe im wrong. flying under the radar and converting better, is sometimes the way to go.
I feel like i should mention again that i do think you can profit from tubes, but it really depends what you have. If you aren't a large player, i wouldn't recommend it.
