Keep in mind, if your clips are tagged and described properly and you upload enough on a regular basis, those clips will get nested away and accessed by less people who are looking for exactly what it is, as opposed to some new clip on the front page that gets 100k views from people not really caring about what it is. Instead, you might get a thousand views from people actually searching for that type of content. So after time, the quality of the traffic will get better. And your brand awareness gets beefed up at the same time. I don't own a tube, just sayin'...

Its been said before in other threads, the CTR is about 1%
Lets assume your paysite converts 1:500 (apparently tube traffic is good shit)
You are going to need 50,000 view of one! of your videos to make one sale.
If you happen to be ok with those 49,999 others viewing 10-40min for free, then surely you want more than 1 sale a day from this? Else I can think of other ways of generating 1! sale without having 49,999 others enjoying it for free.

How many tubes can give you at least! 50,000 view per video, per day?

This is though, no promise you will make a sale on these numbers mentioned above.
Now, feel free to do the maths on the 2-5 banners spots that are sold on your content, that will regardless of you making sales, make the tube owner money on said 50,000 views.

I just cant justify jumping on the bandwagon, i need more than 1 sale per day if It would interest me. And how many tubes can give you 50k views per day, let alone 1k? (thats 50 days for one sale)

These numbers are all fine if its a TGP gallery, 15 pics or a MGP gallery, 1min total. Those 49,999 not paying, plain and simple didnt like your content, and didnt join, not for the fact that they already enjoyed it ALL for free.

Im not hating or being pro tubes, just thinking out loud here.
