Do you offer content that they cannot get at the tubes? Not just your specific brand but a different type of niche or micro-niche which is unique?
Will the surfers go to your site instead of the tube site? They've been conditioned for six years now to go to the tube sites. You'll have to overcome that.
When the tubes start seeing you as a competitor and they no longer need or want your content I am guessing that the free traffic from the watermarks and whatever links they provide ceases. Already most tubes will not allow watermarks unless you are in the CPP. |
My content is not widely spread on the tubes and torrents. I have one video on 1 tube in the cpp to check if it would work for me but it's not really working for me (a lot of views-small amount of clicks to the site). So at this moment my bondageniche content is mostly exclusive to my site only (It could be that a video here and there is shared but i haven't found a site-rip for a long time now). I get visitors that search for: free "mydomain" movies- via google so it looks like i catch those fuckers too.
My microniche bondage type of content is not widely spread on tubes like the bondage-sex content from the bigger companies. That's something different then the damsel in distress bound and gagged fetish, where the bondage and the gags itself is the fetish. If people have bondagetraffic that doesn't convert maybe they should be aware of this nuance in bondagetraffic.
What is annoying to me is that lot of my competitors have their complete contentdatabase spread on sites like myvideo and dailymotion. I wrote some an email to
let them know and what to do to have the content removed. They really don't fucking care, these fucking idiots. It is saturating my niche in a way... on the other hand...
i always have my videos removed there so if people really want my shit they know where to buy it...
It's also amusing to check boards where people sometimes beg for someone to post my content or a working password to my site or how some fucker didn't manage to crack my site
During a hackattack my login form simply gets removed
Maybe that's why MY affiliates still have decent ratios! The only shitty part is is that it's a relatively small niche
Regarding to mainstream porn i can imagine why people won't pay for porn anymore...
it's all over the fucking tubes for free.....
