did porntube change its format?
 

I haven't looked at it in a long time, but I thought it was the same type of format as the other tubes before, just looked at it now to see what was up lately and it seems like it isn't serving "user uploaded" videos anymore, and it is now a hardsell for membership


was it always like that?

nope, but I guess this is the trend with all the huge illegal tube sites now, noticed that with a couple others too

Pushing the sales pitch

first you get marketshare, then you try to make a buck....

Yep, but I'm afraid once you'll try to make a buck there are 100 others around the corner to compete for your free porn marketshare - so it's like running in circles.

Good point.

Porntube.com is not an illeagal tube. Get your facts straight before calling shit out

nice domain

pornotube.com was one of the original tube sites

porntube.com was being sold here as a package with some 30 shitty/average domains for $5k or so mid 2007 or so I think

I always regretted not buying that package back then (or porntube.com only)
I wonder how much today porntube.com (domain only) would be worth....

EDIT: it was 80 domains, and 2006, not 2007.. here's the thread http://www.gfy.com/showthread.php?t=...t=porntube.com

Good luck for the sufer!!! no comment...

Yeah, I confused that with pornhub.com, sorry.

I know Porntube is run by people from AEBN and they didn't had the best of luck with it.

:2 cents:

pornOtube.com is run by aebn

porntube.com is NOT aebn

Whoever bought porntube for 5k. My hat is off to you. I am sure you are making atleast 6 figures a month off that purchase. That's one hell of an ROI :)

Being able to make 6 figures a month has little to do with domain name.

:2 cents:

he never sold it

once pornotube.com became huge he developed it and is reaping the type in domain benefits

Ah yeah it's PORNtube.com not even familiar with that.

It does when Pornotube.com is 400 on alexa and people remember porntube

Trust me he's getting tons of TYPE O traffic.
