That's why tubes are all at the top.
Yeah, Pornhub can claim that they have SEO "geniuses" working for them.
But Google makes decisions about the relative importance of a site via the tags and text. We all use that...but then they look at how long a surfer stays on that particular site.
If they are only on your site a minute of two then you are ranked in that level of importance.
However if people are staying on a site for a long time then guess what? All things being equal...Google will go with the site that keeps the surfer longer.

Agree. It seems a weakness in the algorithms. They seem to favor a surfer watching a video with a crappy 30 second pre-roll commercial and then 3 minutes of a crappy video before leaving over a surfer clicking five pages deep on a blog in two minutes to view the photos. Their metrics are fundamentally imperfect (it's not possible to perfect them with current technology) and they appear to overvalue TOS. I know for a fact many people are sick and tired of the porn video content. I know I get sick of searching for a certain fetish and always getting a bunch of pirate tubes, youtube, and daily motion videos on the first couple pages.
