Greenguy's Board - View Single Post - OK, so what do you guys really think of illegal tube sites?

I used to be completely anti-tube, no matter if it was legal or packed full of stolen movies. I've changed my stance on that. I don't at all mind or care about legal tube sites. I don't think I would want to trade traffic between a tube and link list or TGP because I feel the tube would win. But it's a modern format and it certainly isn't going away. I think Preacher said that his very first affiliate sale for Cum Hungry Pornstars came from your SnizzShare Video Tube, so obviously, tubes, when administrated properly, do produce sales.

The illegal tubes, however, are the current scourge of the industry. I've seen you trying to discuss this issue at the zoo as well Jay, but those unwashed, racist heathens aren't really equipped for a serious discussion on what is wrong or right in this business.

Those big illegal tubes have gained so much traffic, so damn quickly, it's actually painful to look at their Alexa graphs. We can thank them for running all that traffic through a freeloader filter and making them all nearly unconvertible. Meanwhile, Alexa graphs for The Hun and Persian Kitty show a decline. Is there a correlation between the two?

Honestly, I can't say that I know how to do anything about the illegal tubes. I think going after their advertisers may be the best bet, even though that too proves to be a difficult thing to do. I think I saw a link on the zoo to an article about AFF being sued for willfully advertising on illegal tube, but I've been staying up way too late, so I may have been hallucinating.
