2bn views on PornHub
 

We hit 2 billion views on our videos on PornHub so did a little video to celebrate :) http://www.pornhub.com/view_video.php?viewkey=ph55f6ee70abdb0

Congrats on not being able to post a link properly.

And also congrats on contributing to the downfall of the industry. Enjoy your 2 billion free views.

Idiot.

And for shit's and giggles, here is your link you couldn't figure out (as a courtesy)

2 Billion Video Views Party - Orgy! - Pornhub.com

Thanks for your kind words. I'm on my mobile, don't think you can post link properly on this platform.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Quite a small cake for 2 billion views :P
Congratz! :GFYBand

On mobile you'll need to manually type in the short code :upsidedow

(url=url)title(/url) or just (url)url(/url) but with square brackets instead of parentheses.

2 billion fucked up links :1orglaugh

Congrats Ruseful! :thumbsup

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

That was some serious e-peen stroking (as well as real peen stroking).

For the non-nerds: E-Peen Stroking Definition

I appreciate you not jerking off at the end of the scene.

We all do.. :1orglaugh

Why wouldn't I? We were the first ever company to reach 2 billion views and the video is for the PornHub users, to drive even more traffic to my sites, not b2b purposes.

I think he was talking about Harmon talking down to you.. :upsidedow

My understanding as well.

Oh, ok, silly me

Teehee :winkwink:

Congrats!

So let us do some math.

2 billion views * 1% ctr / 1:1000 ratio * $40

2,000,000,000 * .01 / 1000 = 20,000 sales * $40

= $800,000

Not bad at all. :)

But now what this and others like it cost the industry and those on this forum. :(

2 billion views * 10%ctr / 1:300 ratio * $90

2,000,000,000 * .1 / 300 = 666,667 sales * $90

= $60 million

So go you!! You made yourself about $800,000 revenue by taking $60 million in revenue from everyone else here! Great job, man!! Way to go!! Good business!!! :)

congrats guys!

About $1m short on that calculation ;)
But your 2nd calculation... Where are you getting your 2bn free views from?

Also, you forgot to take into account the sales I get from direct type ins from exposure in PornHub ;)

:thumbsup

I wanted to promote Ruseful again, but I had some trouble with some tools not working/uncategorized and the guy there now that I talked to didn't really help or know what I was talking about.. Is there anyone you can recommend that I can talk to about that?

I'll get you an email of who you need to deal with. MG handle all that for me now.

Thank you :)

SignupDumbass,

- If you think 2BN views on PH earned only $800K total, you have zero clue about the way sales funnels work.

- If you want to blame a 'tube owner' for the downfall of paid porn, you ought to look at YouTube, it did far more damage and laid the groundwork for all the rest by teaching people not to pay for content.

There was money to be made under the old model, there is money to be made under the current model, and there will be money to be made under the next model. The model changes... and it gets changed mostly by external forces (like Google), get used to it. :2 cents:

The old Youtube didn't make anyone money except for themselves, there was even a South Park about that, predicting that in the future there will be a way for uploaders to monetize on videos but the tech wasn't there yet.. :2 cents:

Well said! :thumbsup

That's a few views. Congrats Ruseful :)

Congrats guys!

Why so angry? <strokes chin> Oh. I forgot. He has your seal and is a paying customer!

It's hard to estimate because any one variable being off makes a big difference at that scale. I suspect the ctr was the difference.

Ok, per him and taking him at his word then it made about $1.8 million. Even then....

Facts are facts. Ctr was higher before those style of tubes and ratios were better. Again, facts are facts. Math does not lie by itself.

As for YT, they don't allow 30 minute porn videos.

There is money to be made in my couch as well by finding spare change so that people can still make some money isn't really saying much... But again facts are facts. Math is math. It needs no approval from a bro. A lot of us see it for ourselves. Others see it just by looking around at the industry.

If I'm off then I'm not off by enough where my point still isn't valid. He just admitted he made about $1.8 million from those views.

Congrats!!!!

It's crazy how almost every porn phrase I search for, porn hub comes up as first result.

That black female porn star in the 2BILLION video is very very pretty - nice bum she has :)

Just curious which variable was the most off? The ctr? :)

Well, I believe people would still be looking for porn if people weren't giving it away for free. I don't believe that it being made available on a tube site means suddenly millions more are going to suddenly have the desire to look for porn on the internet. As we saw a lot of the growth in tubes of the type PH runs came from TGPs and affiliate sites as well as pay sites. Much of it straight from the search engine rankings. I know because I watched it happen to my sites and others.

I was including that in the 1% ctr figure. Probably a lot of those hits are bots and scrapers so I figured it's probably about a wash.

So what is it altogether? 2%? 3% ctr? Anything beyond 3% is very hard for me to believe....

You'd be surprised at how much type-in traffic videos generate.

And its not only free loaders, some people searching for specific stuff like "sex in a taxi" will fall on a Phub search result to faketaxi, see the video, then typein faketaxi.com into their browser and signup.


As for the whole pre-tube vs tube era debate, thats just beating a dead horse.

that cake looks delicious

This :2 cents:
