[AMA] Making $20k+/Month with 3 Adult Tube Sites – Ask Me Anything

[Playmak3r]

Hi everyone,

I’ve found myself with some spare time for the next couple of months, so I figured this is the perfect opportunity to give back to the BHW community that helped me get my start.

Who am I? > I’m an adult tube webmaster currently generating $20k+ per month across a portfolio of just 3 websites.

I know talk is cheap in this industry, so I'm bringing receipts. You can check out my multi-year journey thread here: https://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/playmak3r-adult-tube-journey-to-day.1531272/, and I’ve attached my recent earnings screenshots below.

Ask me anything regarding adult projects! Whether you're a complete beginner trying to get your first 1,000 visitors, or an intermediate webmaster struggling with monetization, SEO, or server costs—drop your questions below and I’ll do my best to give you a detailed, no-BS answer.

Please note we also have additional 20-30% earnings from revshare but unable to share that at the moment.

Let's get to work!

not into adult SEO, but you've made me curious, so here goes

1. do you create your own videos, or you just reupload someone else's content and monetize that in some way?

2. is the same type of SEO applied for this industry, or is there a different type of SEO required? More specifically, do you still have to bother with topical authority, internal linking, content clusters, chasing after long tails initially (until your site gains authority and trust), etc. or are there totally different steps that you're taking to get ranked?

3. as a content creator (if you are indeed creating content instead of using someone else's), are you also being KYC'd by the government / law of the country you're operating in (like xHamster does for example to normal members who try to upload videos to their accounts), or are you not being KYC'd at any time?

4. are you being KYC'd by the networks you're working with (exoclick, revshare, etc) or you've never had your biometrics and government ID's asked for?

Hi! What traffic sources do you use for your sites? Do you rely on ads? Taboola? TrafficStars? Since you’re in the adult category, what is your exact niche (if you want to share)? Aren’t you concerned about age-verification regulations in the EU and the US if your traffic is based there? Is your business sustainable in the long term?

 

[destroi]

about google sandbox, How long did the traffic increase?

 

[Dijitalbufem]

This sector is not permitted in all countries.

 

[TheReviewer]

what s your seo strategy and why use exolick and not some video host network?

 

[TheReviewer]

Also, are you only using seo?

 

[Mutsis69]

Saw your post last year and got inspired, reached like 10k monthly users but the monetization has been a huge problem, only been making pennies so far.

Traffic is tier 1 GEO targeted organic traffic to tubesite.

What would you suggest?

 

[seocovers]

In recent times, what you think is the fastest way to upload or scale the adult tube sites

I’m not into adult SEO but I’m interested in seeing your answers to the questions people asked here

 

[Brizzy240]

What payment processor do you use? Run something similar & have similar volume - got match listed recently & struggling to find a new PP that'll accept us

 

[rupee365sa]

How do we get backlinks for free? I think this is the hard part. i tried to reach adult directory they charge 19k for a year. Also how to increase the traffic?

how is it going for you? honestly 10k monthly visitors isn't enough to care about monetization, just wait till you reach 200~300k monthly visitors

You host your videos on your servers, and it works for you.
Is similar success possible with just automatically embedding videos (niche or mini niche), with or without AI changing titles/descriptions?
Or with automatically downloading and saving videos (niche or mini niche), with or without AI changing titles/descriptions?
All in all, is success possible with automatization?

1) Yes, i don't film my own videos. That would be tedious!
2) Long tails are important for sure! But other than that i woulkd initially say that you need LOTS of content on your site(s). We are talking XXXXX videos to even have a chance to compete. I always do content first ands then get free backlinks.

Internal SEO is important aswell.

I rely on search engines annd good ol' word to mouth. I think my business is sustainable long term. But as any project you can never be sure! Same goes for Non-Adult. Im not too worried about age verification. It's too hard to enforce worldwide.

about google sandbox, How long did the traffic increase?

I would say i started saying "This project might be profitable" after 6 months.

what s your seo strategy and why use exolick and not some video host network?

Unique and quality content, daily uploads, focus on brand building/community.

Video host networks are filled with non-compilant ads and are TERRIBLE for your site.

I need moire info about your ad strategy and which network you use.

What payment processor do you use? Run something similar & have similar volume - got match listed recently & struggling to find a new PP that'll accept us

We only use a PP for premium upgrade, there we use Plisio. But it's Crypto only so you will lose lots of mainstream users.

When you have enough good quality content you will get other tube sites that either embed or link to your videos.

You host your videos on your servers, and it works for you.

I would never embed videos because they are usually filled with lots of crappy ads that search engines hates. Sure you can try AI but thats not something that i do.

Where do you source your content from?

 

[aleasty]

I rely on search engines

is that google or other? are you creating backlinks for site?

 

[Ignatius O]

How many videos do you upload per day?

 

[Clued]

Congratulations man, that’s incredibly impressive and I was looking at doing something similar.

Do you use an aggregator API to scrape videos across different platforms, or do you manually add each video?

What do you recommend for monetization with Clickadu and Exo? Currently, I'm doing with 4 pops every ten minutes with Clickadu, and banners, slider video, outstream with Exo. Thanks.
