Anybody monetizing adult traffic?

[decades80]

I have an adult domain and Ive just signed for hostedtube .com few days back. Ihad 200 uniques per day and the revenue of 0.10 USD from parking. Ive decided to try hostedtube since you get indexed and dont forget about the returning visitors So the traffic is climbing for approx. 100 uniques per day and revenue each day for 0.02 USD up. I would just be grateful to know - if anybody is using them - how to add my sponsor ID on the sponsors page?Or at least reviews from others?

Hi decades80.

In my experience, your domain name (ie. it's keyword quality) is the key to "hostedtube" revenue success. The better the domain name, the more traffic you'll receive (both in terms of organic and in-house). Add to that the completion of all the SEO options available in the "edit" sections, then link other sites to it by means of off-site SEO (eg. several cheap .XYZ hostedtube sites with links to your best hostedtube site) and you're set for success.

The question of "is hostedtube the best white-label for your premium adult domain name" then comes into play, but that's a separate topic. Bottom line is that hostedtube payouts are low for anything other than premium-subscription-sign-ups, and that simply boils down to a numbers-game (ie. the more traffic to your site = the more individual users there are = a better chance at the possibility of a user signing-up for premium membership).

The sponsors page allows you to add third-party sponsor-id's to your hostedtube account, so that your premium-subscription "rev-share" is higher. To do this, you {1) click on the "sponsors" tab in the hostedtube navigation, (2) visit and sign-up for an account with the "affiliate program" (if you don't already have one) listed on the left, then (3) add the sponsor-id provided by the "affiliate program" into the adjacent "blank-area" in your hostedtube "sponsor's" area. Needless to say, it has to be done one-by-one, and can prove to be quite tedious. I'll only recommend this for your premium domain names though.

Hope this helps.

Regards
Clint

There is still plenty of money to be made with these kind of setups but you really have to be able to actually push quality traffic. I work with some cam models to increase their traffic through tube sites and I usually post around 5000 - 10000 videos a day on a dedicated server. Its not a bad setup since we're kind of going on the whole you scratch my back and I scratch your situation. They provide me with original content to post and I only work with the models that can actually convert clients. It works out for them since they get more customers that want to spend money and I only send Revshare traffic (usually 30% of money spent on tokens/credits). I havent played with the hostedtube account too much yet, but I have a couple of domains that i am going to feed some traffic into on top of their already established backlinks.

I use with one .net domain HostedTube since 2012.

I created back in 2012 a few backlinks (I think about 20-30). Never created or bought any backlinks since then and never optimized SEO.

 

[decades80]

UPDATE: G. Indexed my 5000+ videos today out of 22.000 and I am receiving first clicks from Google.
It seems I rank additionally on Baidu for "XXX Tube" so my traffic is consistently rising again. Will wait for another month and update later on.

 

[Hypersot]

Jup.... I get so much traffic from baidu and yahoo search and still rising. Unfortunately I am deindexed by G.

Todays statistics after 10 hours attached.... Hope to cross 20.000 uniques per day in March.

There is nothing unfortunate in that. We need to detach ourselves from the big G at some point.
Your revenue is growing and that's what matters

Very curious about this and I am going to keep following your progress, but I can't help but to be curious. Have you actually received a payment from hostedtube so far? Unfortunately I've gotten burned a few times where payment never actually arrived (not hosted tube.. just in general)

I've used HostedTube for a number of years and they always pay on time.

 

[decades80]

Thank you for your answer. I think the chances to get a sign up under the affiliate link are close to 0 and I am still under 1000 uniques per day, but when it comes to at least 10.000 per day, I will take those few hours and made a few sign ups. Thanks again and have a nice weekend.

Since they say they are the alternative to parking, the exact searches will unfortunately not bring you any traffic. I would put there only domains with some existing traffic. Otherwise you would have to invest tons of money in this competition, to rank for some keywords on Google. imo

Ahh okay so they need existing traffic.. okay that makes sense.

Yeah I was thinking about developing an automated adult tube site... that pulls content from xvideos and pornhub...

getting it ranked in South Africa wont be too difficult, I'm just not sure if I have the discipline to work in the adult niche..lol I would spend too much time doing "research" ...

0,02 with 300 hits
come on

try bodis

Frank is not about the revenue in the first days, sure it could be lower than parking,but my prediction is that the backlinks will not be lost so fast and the traffic will grow by itself for those 10% of returning visitors. I know that the revenue is smaller than the one from parking, but I was getting max. 0.10 for 50 clicks for the traffic from India. So from my side is an experiment I would like to make, even when I miss 10 cents per day

 

[cantstop]

You make good point about counties where you might rank these.
maybe that would be possible in a local search engine.
because I don't think $20 /month on 18 tubes is great with 164 k uniques ...
which is where I'm at .
based on sales threads for these tubes i have seen I don't think that is atypical.
2 yrs ago these same sites were at 180$/month
That money is gone and it isn't coming back.
you need to put the traffic there faster than gman pushes you out of the serps.

Now I see they have a feature where you can put your aff codes in the dashboard
apparently they are running outside sponsors and cutting you in.
but since 90% of the money comes from traffic force I don't see much hope there either

 

[decades80]

As Ive said, Ive focused for Baidu and Yahoo search for now. The main keyword from Baidu is p*** video where I get the most of traffic from. I have no idea actually or experiences with Adult websites, maybe pure luck?

 

[decades80]

Im gonna give this a shot soon have about 30 or 40 emd adult domains that get type ins and stuff.

do you have to add videos or are they already supplied for you?

Its a hard money though. You will have to work on sort of ranking to receive free traffic from search engines. At the beginning you will probably earn less than parking, but if you do a net of adult websites, link them together, get some free links on directories, you will start to receive traffic from search engines. If you can come to 2000 uniques per day on each of your domains you should do fine, but the effort could take 4-8 months time.

@decades80 I would say that since it seems to be harder to make premium upgrade sales then it used to, that you would be better off leaving the video throttling setting as unlimited or a least pretty high. That should at least help traffic grow quicker I would think. Myself I use Paxum to get paid out from HostedTube.

A couple years back with HostedTube I used to make about 10 premium subscription upgrade sales a month. But in late May of 2014 I believe it was, Google had an update that hit a lot of sites set up on HostedTube with a manual spam penalty, which resulted in those domains getting blacklisted/de-indexed from Google. As soon as I found out about this I moved most of my domains that I had setup on HostedTube back to parking pages. I still have some at HostedTube but not as many as before and it does seem quite a bit harder to make premium subscription upgrade sales than it did a couple years back. HostedTube does seem to be better now about not getting names hit with Google penalties.

Just my 2c:

- average RPC for parked adult domains, which are correctly marked by Google as such, may vary from 1c(ent) to 15c(ents) on different domains which fact I can hardly explain - the ads are pretty much the same, and so is country-visitors distribution

- Google does not show ads on adult domains for visitors from a number of countries, such as Gulf countries, China, South Korea (legal issues). Also Russia, Peru, and a few others (reasons unknown). Traffic from such visitors on any parked adult domain is lost (if it is google feed of course). One exception I am aware of is bodis as they send it to zero click, still showing google ads to served countries. WORKAROUND: set in-house TDS like above.com does, but with geoip, and do not send this part of traffic to a parking company. Send it somewhere else.

- It also makes sense to unpark and process differently domains with low final parking RPM. I consider anything below $2-$3 to be low RPM for this purpose.

- As for affiliate programs, I've seen good results with live cam websites and revshare model (some visitors may return and buy more minutes for years. I think I still see periodical income from somebody who originally signed up in 2008 using my domain forwarded to a revshare affiliate link).

- It makes sense to periodically check parked domains status - faillisted or not. Google may sometimes faillist adult domain which was already parked with them for years, and so it would become either zeroclick or any alternative feed provided by a parking company, or better send it to aff links

Of course all the above applies if total number of visitors @ adult domains is at least a few hunders per day, otherwise it makes little or no practical sense to setup anything else except default parking config

 

[baseballworld]

Let me know how this goes I am interested as well and willing to give it a try.

 

[decades80]

Yes sure. Yesterday it was already at 0.20 USD which is kind of double revenue compared to parking. Will update this thread in few weeks.

 

[iwon24]

yeah i have a few nice adult names like Pornivo.com & GirlsBooty.com was guna try them on this, but i have decided to sell them instead. so if anyone gets good results on hostedtube please let me know as i might give it ago with them instead of selling

Yeah dude...I'm in the exact same boat with the domains i mentioned above..not sure if I should sell or try this hostedtube thing....lol will see what happens

 

[decades80]

If you think you can rank good in South Africa, I would go for it, you have your own tube in minutes, You can choose which videos are playing and how big is the master page. It looks very professional, so its not for parking only. If you are actually good at SEO and can get some search clicks, you could use it also for a tube without existing traffic.

Most excellent....I'm definitely going to have a closer look at this... thanks for the heads up mate.

I have a solid SEO background so I'm confident I can get it ranked....

Thanks again for ur input, much appreciated.

Bodis seems to get me a good average across my adult portfolio some are still new but the portfolio is gaining. I ended up at 0.06 per click average across the portfolio but I know I add a lot of new stuff so we will see how September pans out. So far ifn i change nothing will doubl cost of the whole portfolio monthly.

 

[decades80]

First impression about hostedtube .com it seems my uniques, video views and pageviews are increasing slowly, but revenue is left behind. I have approx. 1000+ uniques per day now and about 3,000+ pageviews. I will anyway give it another 6 months, if the traffic will be increasing to 10.000 pageviews a day in 6 months I will change the nameservers and park it

 

[decades80]

So are people making good cash here or what. I can assume that the average parked page that gets thousand plus clicks a year will prob get a ton of people watching more then one video.

You get less than parking actually, but the idea is that with tube you can do some SEO and build links and so the traffic can spike instead of decline and when not 100% satisfied at the end when traffic grows, you can park it again.
