Why are Tubes going out of business?
 

Today I noticed that a lot of tubes that were relatively known have gone out of business, and I'm wondering what's causing this.
Is it the price of bandwidth?
Lack of good sponsor videos?
The webmaster has found a better source of revenue?

I haven't noticed any worth mentioning. did i miss some?

for example? :)

I have been running a tube, its hard to keep it legal since many epopel upload copy material, the only way is to keep it closed to uploads and do it myself but take to mutch time, have more then porn to work with :)

Lol like which one

Such as?

maybe it's me, but i don't know anyone of those.. they allowed user submits?

Well I have a tube site in my signature it does take quite a bit to maintain video's from sponsors.

That's why they're out of business. Only one person (the OP) knew about them.

I was suprised to see a decent name there, tubex.com, given how shit tube site names usually are (for example: the rest of that list), but turns out it's not a tube site and never has been.

regarding bandwith: what if you have tube site that embeds other tubes,like redutbe etc?

do u make money submitting to tubes?

but how you do ? If they dont let you post your SITE LINK.. just a video..

??

watermarking ?

Those are possibilities I suppose.

What ever surfers were on those sites have migrated to the big ten.

Don't get your hopes up that Free Porn is going any where.

I guess we have a different definition of known sites.

that looks like a list from customer portfolio on jmbsoft.com who purchased tubex.

Sorry what the sky is falling... Again?

Dammit!

Tubes have shit for traffic (Quality that is)

Why all the banks are going out of business?
For example the following major banks:

bank of piriod
bank of money in motion
bank of intredasting piriods
bank of piriods in motion

It is curious and interesting to see that the tubes have been much slower adding new content for some months now.

I do a few test searches in some of my niches, and the results have been close to identical, nothing new at all, for some time.

In the tubes I'm searching at least.

Name the top ten tubes:

Never heard of any of these.

TUBE-GIRL-SCAM, nice site to report as link buying in google...

hehehe...

In regards to the comment about doing all the work yourself - with imports of videos from most sponsors, some even upload for you - there are low-time options for a legal tube :D

Those are 'fake tubes' that mostly monetize on sending CPM traffic to those tubes at around $1-2.50. A big one that I know like that is tubegalore.com

Edit: My bad, those are thumbnail links...

I know some sponsors will host video's but alot like myself will not, that's way to much bandwith....
