[Journey] Growing Small Niche Adult Tube and Make $100/day

I have banners too but they pay very little that i don't even consider it

from your settings i have everything turned off and only chrome enabled on

yes i use a separeted host and i recommend ovh with a reverse proxy that what i did in the start


OVH with a reverse proxy
I used OVH around 7 years ago for adult content. At that time I was hosting only images, and they still suspended my server for 2–3 weeks. I was calling OVH every few days, sending emails constantly, and it still took them weeks to finally understand the issue and allow the server back online after removing 1 image that caused the problem.

I honestly don’t suggest anyone waste their time, money, or energy with OVH for adult projects. Even with a reverse proxy, one small mistake — or if someone really wants to trace the origin server — can get your host suspended, and recovering everything becomes a nightmare.

Which host do you suggest
 
I never try so many popunders per 5 minutes ... I have a new amateur website too, like 2 months old, but because I have an issue with the registry I used, I migrated the domain to a new domain .com ... so now my amateur website has like 800 people per day in a few days old :) Anyway, these are the settings I use for popunder on Exoclick

I will try the 3 per 5 minutes soon, too. I'm curious how it is... do you have anything else different from my settings? Thank you.

And about impressions, the impressions are only the popunder + VAST, or is include banners to? How many pop-under impressions are you making per day?
3 pops in every 5 minutes?

Won't that hurt site visits? Bounce rate?

Depends. I wouldn’t say it’s user-friendly, but most browsers, especially on mobile, automatically stop popunders after the first one anyway. As long as the popunder stays in the background and doesn’t interfere too much, it shouldn’t be a major issue. Most of my traffic is mobile.

Anyway, this option works fine as long as you still need to cover the amount of money you want to make per day. If you’re already making enough, then there’s no reason to push it too hard.

Do you use any anti ad block script ? I have 30k visitors per day (forum) and my revenues are nowhere close to yours (first geo is US, around 5k users/day). I have a fixed $2 CPM for pop and I also have banners.

i dont have ad block script, maybe impressions are counted differently which network are you using?
 
what for a cms use you?(wp scripts or)
and what is you main niche?
& what for ad network use you
 
Do you plan on testing different ad networks?
I have a very good experience with Kadam for pops, they paid like 5x what ExoClick, but it was India GEO.
But I'd test it anyway, also very good peformance from Clickadilla with in-page.

When you do test multiple ad networks, make your life easier and use tools like AdGreg to compare them.
 
honestly, going from a fresh site to around $10 per day in a couple of months is already more progress than a lot of people achieve.

what i find encouraging is that you're focusing on a specific niche instead of trying to compete with massive tube sites across every keyword imaginable.

if the traffic keeps growing and indexing improves, the economics can look very different six months from now than they do today.
 
One thing. Did you choose a subcategory, when setting your popunders? Or other ads?
 
Nice start @princesinhada1D, especially with only 100 vids. For indexation I’d focus less on DA as a “metric” and more on getting Google to crawl deeper... strong internal links from category/tag pages, updated sitemap, and maybe a simple “latest videos” page linked from homepage helps a lot. I had a small tube where posts were stuck for weeks until I cut useless tag pages and made the crawl path cleaner.

Also watch the selfhost costs once traffic jumps, $85/day is nice but bandwidth can sneak up fast if people actually watch full vids. Bunny + aggressive cache is prob worth it before scaling harder.
 
Good day, for a starting with tube site like me can you point us to the right direction on how to do SEO the right way?, also i read you selfhost your videos, do your website and videos just in 1 server or a separate one? Thank in advance for the answer.
 
I read through your replies and you've been very helpful.

I want to start mine but is it advisable to start with a fresh domain or buy an aged one. Also your site is it a fresh domain? What wordpress script do you use?

I'd like to know more about Bunny. Do you upload the videos to Bunny? Or you upload the videos on OVH?

I'd like to start with Alexhost but they give very small disk space.
