Anyone can copy a banner page and lander... With this mindset you could just go to popular tube A, copy all the campaigns, and be making money in no time!!!!!
So besides the initial join, what is watchmygf marketing to new joins? My guess is in addition to their own sites, theyre cross promoting / upselling other amateur offers aggressively via email to earn more per user. I bet if you cancel theyll run your email into the ground with other deals/upsells too.
At this point they have enough data to calculate earnings per click, most likely by geo/niche/site/zone/ad type. With this info, it becomes a little easier to calculate potential roi when buying from diff sites.
My advice to you would be, look at which traffic sources send you the most joins and from where (banner clicks, text links, etc). Try to buy traffic matching those conditions (same geos/ad type/niche) as a test. Make sure you segment and track everything, so you can calculate your epc for each source/zone/ad. After you have this data from testing, you'll be able to weed out sources that aren't converting.
TheSquealer really already nailed it on the head. There's a reason you only really see a handful of offers being promoted heavily via media buys. Its typically only the type of shit where the users card gets banged w/ enough cross sales to cover the extra overhead of buying traffic

Thanks for the insights! And I totally agree with your last points. It's these conditions which are turning me off the idea. LOL
TheSquealer's point are well-taken. Combined with your advice - focus on tubes that send me the most traffic, etc - and I think a (limited) test is still worth it. Especially if I can coordinate the ad buys with the videos we submit to tubes acting in conjunction. We will see.
But I am learning, from your comments, TheSquealer's and others here, that ad buys for paysites may not be a smart move. LOL
