Length = perceived quality
Double digit lengths would get more eyes on a scene provided it's hot. Then as long as there's a way for the surfer to track it back to the original source there are some buyers. There simply has to be with the amount of traffic the larger tubes have. On the flip side there's lots of full length scenes on tubes that surfers could care less about.
Rarely do porn consumers watch a clip from start to finish. They jump around. (outfit, certain action, cumshot). Longer clips denote quality and a better chance the surfers fantasy will be met. Also the longer length gets more eyes on the content when competing against other clips. The longer the clips, with continual updates the more "sticky" the surfers become to that tube site and use that as their source for finding new content.
This is all assuming the tube has the slightest interest in promoting the original source of the movie. Most just use the full length content to drive the traffic to other advertising sources and trickle a small amount of traffic, if any, back to the original site. Especially in this day where some tube sites are 3rd, 4th, 5th generation scrapers that just take what's on bigger sites with any consideration to the ad deals attached to that content. Also the ones that run directory style tube sites. Waters down the content and takes away it's impact. No matter how amazing the content is once it's original "wow" factor is gone the surfer moves on once they've seen it too many times. Except for the times where it matches their particular narrowed fetish perfectly.
Add in the amount of unregulated DVD content that's been whored out, and programs that are acting as middle men for production studios. Programs created without any knowledge about the content or care to protect it. No accountability for it and it's sad to see some of the A+ exclusive content that shows up on tubes and stays there for years because it's simply not looked after. I see this ALL THE TIME in the Shemale niche.
Because of that we don't allow our full scenes EVER on tubes. Anyone who has our full scenes they are stolen and will go after those sites every single time.
