Back a few years ago...before tube sites...it used to be that paysite owners refused to allow you to put their content on a page with ANY other advertisement on it.

They rightly believed that the content belonged to them and that other sites shouldn't be allowed to have advertisements on that page.

We, of course mostly did links on our TGPs. But we also made special pages with content. And our policy was to try and sell a paysite membership to the corresponding site.

And guess what? It was WILDLY successful. It was true targeted advertising.

The tube sites on the other hand: Every page is a giant spam fest of pre-paid ads.
"Branding" your video clip (you know...a watermark), is okay. But when the video is surrounded by blinking, flashing ads selling everything BUT your paysite...well, I think the results to our industry are pretty obvious.

I applaud those of you who are trying to figure out ways to get sales to your sites.
I think in the end, you're gonna find that the tube model is going to be a dead end with diminishing returns every day.
