triumph · 12-04-2007, 07:52 PM

or else they would not stay online this long and piss away money on bandwidth.

What do you guys think? Anyone know any numbers?

Pornwolf · 12-04-2007, 07:54 PM

I've heard of companies just scraping by.

Wasn't there a story posted recently about the tiny profits of YouPorn or something?

There was a story about it and the guy wanted like 20 million for 100k revenues or something like that. But it did not make any sense 20 mill for a small amount of revenue. I do not know what they were basing their calculations on.

Hopefully they all die a quicker death than they allready are...

Hey Zorgman, can you tell us a little about TEVS? I saw some of the examples and it looks nice. Also when are you releasing it?

pr0 · 12-04-2007, 08:13 PM

from a business perspective

would any of you go around bragging that your (x) themed site makes bank?

na, you would tell all of your little friends that your just barely making it

i suspect these tube sites are making bank beyond belief....bandwidth doesn't cost what it used to

tony286 · 12-04-2007, 08:19 PM

if they were doing great they wouldnt be selling memberships, which it seems more and more are starting to do. Remember the net has tried the ads pays for everything model already it failed.

I think www.plentyoffish.com would beg to differ.

Blazed · 12-04-2007, 08:20 PM

A story about youporn means nothing the media report what they want.

Oh, so TGPs and other free sites don't make any money with ads and that's why they all failed and had to convert to paysites?

Glad you cleared that up for me.

All will be revealed soon my friend. Very soon!
Its been a long time in the making but I it's ready for release.
Keep watching the site for info.

CreatineGuy · 12-04-2007, 09:22 PM

They do money when they sell the site to some rich ignorant for 50k...

But I have seen stats of tube sites and yes, they have huge traffic, but their conversion sucks..

Cool, I will be looking out for it.

dougeetx · 12-05-2007, 12:32 AM

You can make some serious money with tube sites. I did with http://www.VideoSlacker.com before selling it. If you combine adsense with the interestials from adbrite, you can do pretty well.

it sucks but i agree. they are giving the visitor exactly what they want; access to hundreds of movies at no cost and they dont have to download.

ichauch · 12-05-2007, 03:02 AM

Porn hub . com is right at the top of innovation.
Maybe we'll reach a point somtime when program owners will pay to get their promo materials onto tube sites.

Um, I know it may have been a shameless plug on your part, but My site, XTube is at the top of innovation; we could do better in terms of traffic, which is modest, but our list of features have not been outranked as of yet.

*Real Paid Amateurs for a Tube Site
*PPM/PPScene/24 hour rental/DVD VOD
*3.6 Million Member community with full feature set
*Provides Local Advertising in Most Cities in the world
*Self Serve Ad System
*Full Screen Player, with Self Serve Ad Slots
*Wiki/Forum
*Kitchen Sink
*and webcamming will be released before Xmas
*Streaming T.V.
I have my eye on most Tube sites, and I think we are lead Tube innovators for now and the long run.

Just_in_Support · 12-10-2007, 05:53 PM

And uh oh We make 'nuff money here at XTube. Cant Complain!

fris · 12-10-2007, 06:14 PM

most of the revenue comes from cams and dating

Snake Doctor · 12-10-2007, 06:18 PM

Tube Sites is too broad of a term.

Sites that are just giving away trailers or short clips from FHG's and have targeted advertising are probably doing well.

Sites giving away full length 30+ minute movies that they stole so they can advertise dating and cams are most likely losing money IMO.

Rochard · 12-10-2007, 06:32 PM

I can spend hours on You Tube just looking at videos. I'm guessing tube sites just burn bandwidth....

That's my method exactly. Notice the "pull content" function in my script.
It strips the movies from FHG's, hundreds at a time.

Kingfish,

Im trying to get this finished tonight and be on sale tomorrow (with luck). Everything is set, iv just got to do my sales part now.

Some info.
47 BIG sponsors work 100% with my import system. SHould be around 500,000 vids all up if you added all 47 sponsors.
You can use wmv,mpg, flv, embed,html.
Unlimited channels
unlimted sponsors and unlimited adverts(banners/html) for each sponsor

I have created an addon for Payserve.com's 16,000 vids and perfect gonzo 1000 flash embed videos. Im also working on webcams.com import of 700+ videos now.

Prices and details will be released on launch.

Brooke Anderson · 12-10-2007, 07:22 PM

Somebody explain to me, the amateur website, how to "adapt" as everyone else says.

I have uploaded tons of 1 min trailer clips to all the bigger tube sites, viral marketing of sorts.

I don't mind the affiliate related sites such as snizzshare or pornotube, as long as we are both making money.

But shit, I find my full length members videos all over the place. If I add DRM I get bitched at by members and reviews. So I don't think that is the solution.

Somebody give me a direction to go, because I am getting lost.

Brooke Anderson · 12-11-2007, 12:41 PM

Bump for any ideas from the day group

Looks like a VOD site, not a tube site.
