To a large extent, yes, and that's why I recommended SmartCJ earlier in this thread

This is really complicated to explain, let me do my best:

CJ tubes are focused on converting paid/traded traffic. They're not nice to their users, and they don't really care about building bookmark/direct traffic.

SmartCJ is perfect for that. It has rotator logic that allows you to show *incredible* thumbs for a small set of top category pages. A smartCJ tube will have ridiculously good thumbs for "teen", "mom", "babe", "lesbian", etc. So they buy/trade traffic to these top category pages and are able to convert it.

But the smartCJ tube also doesn't need to have all that much content, because their goal is to convert paid/traded traffic. You really just need a few hundred/thousand videos in each of the top couple hundred categories, and you can achieve that goal.

And they don't need to have good search results for long-tail queries, because the traffic they're focused on is paid/traded and so the niche is usually something common/mainstream--mom, teen, lesbian, etc.

This isn't to say smartCJ tubes don't pull in google traffic--they do--but its to top category pages. Teen, mom, lesbian, etc.

Tubegalore is completely different. They have 40m+ videos and they have good search results for just about any query you can think of. They are also focused on retaining long-term users--so the search results need to be FRESH every time you go there. They pull in google traffic to long-tail category pages. Weird shit. Overwatch porn. Japanese femdom. Whatever.

So the philosophies and technical challenges are completely different.

CJ has to figure out rotator logic--how to achieve the best possible CTR on a limited set of the most popular queries. They don't have that many videos compared to tubegalore. User retention doesn't matter. They can show the same thumbs for years, if those thumbs continue to achieve high CTR.

Tubegalore wants to figure out how to show great thumbs for a HUGE set of long-tail queries. They want to show you fresh results all the time. They're not just focused on CTR because they want to retain users for years, so they constantly need to show fresh, clickable thumbs. Their database contains 40m+ videos--which is a HUGE technical challenge to search efficiently over. CJ tubes don't have this issue.

I hope that helps explain the difference. If you want to make a CJ tube, you use smartCJ. If you want a site like tubegalore...you gotta hire a guy like me.
