On my tube site we actually only list 20-40 new videos a day and all are reviewed. I also supply a spot for a hard affiliate link and tend not to list videos that aren't webmaster uploads obviously using legit sponsor content. Have a list of sponsors and sites I know don't want their content on the tubes so I don't approve them, and have a lot of sponsors happy to upload their stuff so generally its not much work.

My suggestion to you is to stick to 1-2 min clips, check with your sponsor first before you upload them (most sponsors are fine with tube submits but some do have a few rules you should hear from them first).

Its not going to be long before tube sites like mine go partner account submit only though. Just like with tgps and linklists you get idiots who submit illegal or obviously stolen stuff without a care. As for ratios from my experience your content sells ... and you could experience anything from 1:20 to 1:1000 depending on the tube and the content.

Unfortunately the number of tubes taking webmaster uploads are dwindling.
