Journey to making a Porn site [Adult Tube]

you hosting with bunny still? or got a cheaper solution?
Not using bunnystream, i use the typical doodstream, filemoon exetra right now, but i find them to be annoying, these external hosts don't count the views whenever they feel like it and rips you off from your earnings, so I'm trying to figure a way to self host my videos, it's the right option after all for seo
 
So how much are you earning daily and what traffic do you get now?

If you compare expenses (hosting, etc.) with earnings, is it profitable?
 
Social traffic is risky AF, maybe mix in Telegram groups or Reddit subs to stay under the radar

Hosting now is 33 bucks monthly but if traffic remained that high i need to find some dedicated server soon as for the earnings I can't complain 40 usd daily from popads (could be improved of course) it's passive income so it is very good in my country (if sustainable) specially i still live with my family and pretty much could save half of it, traffic is 50k daily users but it's all 3tier.

I don't know what you mean, isn't reddit social traffic as well, also now it's all google and direct traffic with time maybe we could build some brand name and cut middlemen all together and get direct traffic

Google is making the site well under attention more than any social traffic will ever bring

Now I'm just waiting for the next google core update to fuck me up, just like it's do with many other webmasters, by that time hopefully I could be milking some bucks and lifetime revshares
 
He talked about something with cloudflare
Oh, is it good what he suggested to you? I checked his profile; he himself stored his files on the free-to-earn file storage site Savefiles.

Well, have you ever checked Hetzner's storage box? If yes, then what's your opinion about it?

And do you still use Alexhost as your web hosting? I heard they have a downtime problem.

I've heard this from many webmasters on their journey, so what is the cure? I mean, many medium-branded adult tube websites still maintain high rankings for many years. How do they do it?

I don't know if it's really good, using cloudflare for directly hosting dmca doesn't seem like the brightest of ideas of that what he means, hetzenger is interesting and definitely worth trying, but i don't have to worry about storage in a dedicated server anyways, also if you just started out I don't see why it's nessesary to self host, external hosts will save you alot on storage spending and also you can make a buck or too with them while your site grows, once you see a significant increase in traffic then self-hosting is a must in my view, but again it's depends on your budget and technical skills looking at the pros and cons of each choice. As for alexhost it's also great when you're small site because they are dirt cheap with the yearly plans, but they are very bad with larger traffic and their vps is very limited in resources maybe because it's cheap resulting in downtimes, i didn't test dedicated server with them so i don't know that part yet, hopefully it's better. As for your last question I have no clue why some survive, but i find out it's boils down to dmca take downs, niche, your targeted audience also i think that quality sites tend to last longers, those who want fast bucks die quicker because of the shitty user experience with exessive ads. But really I don't know for sure how google thinks.

Yeah, you're right about external stores, but those annoying pop-up ads are concerning. So Doodstream works well right now because I’ve heard they are facing some legal issues and have been blocked by many countries?

Have you ever checked this out, like:

vidguard

streamtape

VOE [which has premium too]


So you're using wp-script, right? How can you embed Doodstream and Filemoon embed links together? Do you mean separate videos, or do you customize your script and give visitors a player-changing option just like a pirated movie streaming website?


Yup, that's why I'm leaning more toward self-hosting because I heard Google often counts this type of external storage link as spam. Well, when is the next Google core update happening? Do you have any news?

If you want to use many external hosts ofcourse you need to custom code it, wp-script is fine but not the best kvs is better, so think very well about this because once site grows it's will be damaging for seo to transfer if you find some wp-script limitations, the self hosting seems better for seo but again it's depends on your budget and technical skills. It's better to go with the best options from the start only downside in the beginning you might not have enough budget and you don't really know if the whole thing will even work. Seo will take a good year soemtimes even more in competitive keywords, Google core updates can be your hero or your villain because they are known to often shake up the rankings in major ways once they happen, you can just check google search central or something to see the dates but right now major ones could happen atleast 4 times a year. Good luck
 
Quick update: Byse (used to be called filemoon and before that playtube), is an external video host with a scammer behind it who engaged in fraudulent activities, never trust these third party external video hosts with your sites, they voided me a payment of more than 800$ dollars despite sending them legit traffic from google and added weird requirements of adding 80 videos each month for three consecutive months to to be paid on an auto cron job meaning now he fully control who get paid and when and the publishers can't do anything about it, now you can't even request funds anymore with this scam platform called byse.sx, he added these absurd conditions just so that he can trap big funds. He is from Ukraine and known to be a Big scammer and was scamming people since he used to call his external host playtube. Here is a screenshot with the rejected payment i managed to take before he found my account and terminated.
