PornHub

You can break the history of the entire universe into two periods; BPH and APH. That’s Before Pornhub and After Pornhub. It feels like a million years have passed since Pornhub first arrived, but it’s been more like fifteen. What an incredible effect it’s had in those few years. The porn landscape was completely overhauled after its release. It changed how porn is consumed, how porn is made, and the porn business itself.

If you want in on the game, you will have to live in the shadow of this juggernaut at first. But, instead of seeing it as competition, you should see it as an opportunity. Pornhub is a tool you can use to drive traffic toward your porn site. Millions of people visit Pornhub every day. And that’s millions of people you can be advertising to.

Learning from History

It’s also almost fifteen years of history you can learn from. Pornhub has had its highs and lows, just like any other website. They have sunk baskets from half-court and missed lay-ups, and you can use that knowledge to help you navigate these waters successfully.

Pornhub was started by web developer Matt Keezer and released in May 2007. Only three years later, Matt sold it to what would become Mindgeek for a hefty profit. Keywords there being “hefty profit.”

By 2009, Pornhub and its two major affiliate sites, Redtube and Youporn, had serviced over one hundred million individual masturbators. I bet those kinds of numbers have your mouth watering and balls swelling.

In 2013, they introduced “Pornhub Select,” which curated porn for individual visitors. This culminated in the service you receive today. No matter if you are logged in or not, Pornhub has recommended videos just for you. In fact, the entire homepage is tailored to your needs.

Once 2015 rolled around, they had enough money coming in to experiment. First, they pushed filming porn in space titled “Sexplorations.” Then they released their own online casino.

Next up was using Artificial intelligence to catalog tags for every video on the site—a monumental task for humans but cake for a modern computer. Finally, always one to keep a finger in the wind for new trends, Pornhub began accepting cryptocurrency Verge in 2018.

These days many of the groundbreaking maneuvers Pornhub instituted are common practice. So if you want your porn site to be up to date, you should drop your dick and start taking notes.

Learning from Mistakes

Not everything has been smooth sailing for these guys, though. Over the years, they have had many content issues, including being charged with both harboring child porn and non-consensual sexual encounters on the site multiple times. In response, Pornhub now verifies all videos uploaded to the site. When they first cleaned the place up, the number of available videos dropped from fourteen million to four million. Let that be a lesson to take care of where your content is originating. If you are getting started, you won’t have the money for lawyers.

Besides learning some cardinal lessons from both their successes and failures, how else can you turn your biggest competition into a tool for success? Pornhub has become so large it edges on utility at this point. Much like your gas and water mains, Pornhub provides an essential service to tens of millions of people. You have to get a hand in, and you can do that with watermarked promo videos.

Although videos now have to be verified, you as a user can still upload content. It may seem counterintuitive to make your content available on another site, let alone for free, but you can’t think of Pornhub as a regular porn site. Think of it as your TV. Would it be silly for a movie producer to run a trailer? It’s technically showing portions of the movie for free on someone else’s network, after all. Of course not, and that’s what your watermarked promo videos are when loaded to Pornhub.

As Pornhub developed, particularly after the 2020 purge, it became less of an individual porn site and more the central hub for all porn. When you’re watching a couple of teens getting their taints torn asunder by giant black cock, are you watching a video produced by Pornhub? No, sir, you’re watching “Blacked.” When you see a bitch sitting nervously on a black leather couch, you already know you’re watching “Casting Couch.”

Household Name

Before most people ever visit the official websites for Blacked or Casting Couch, they are already household names to them. I might have never even known of their existence if it weren’t for Pornhub. Now I both know they exist and that I love them, but ninety percent of their content on Pornhub is only a sliver of the full video. If I want to see the whole thing in all its glory, I have to visit the site. Boom, they got me hook, line, and sinker.

There are a million and one porn tube sites out there these days, so why choose Pornhub? First off, as I mentioned, Pornhub is near the top of the pile. They are probably the most recognizable porn website in the world right now. The amount of traffic your watermarked video can receive is astronomical. You can’t get those types of numbers in many places.

Design

Pornhub is exceptionally well organized. They have been at this for a long time and know what the fuck they are doing. You don’t want your teen content lost into a sea of similar bullshit. But, on the other end, you also don’t want your content to only show up in one place. That’s a careful balance that Pornhub has mastered over the years.

Continuing with the example of teens, you don’t want your content only to pop up when someone searches “18 and 19-year-olds”. You also want it to pop up for “college,” “young,” etc. Similarly, you want what activities are happening in the content to count for something. If the bulk of a video is blowjobs and anal, you want to be featured in those searches and categories, as well.

Pornhubs AI algorithms have been all but perfected to ensure your content gets the coverage it needs. This ensures that people who want what you’re giving are being exposed to your material. And of course, the more exposure you get, the more traffic hops over from Pornhub to yourpornsite.com.

Pornhub hosts a vast array of content. No matter what your website is focused on, they have clientele beating off to it. It’s a one-stop-shop for finding customers to visit you. Whether you’re pitching penis and pussy, panties with poopy, or pictures of popes, somebodies beating off to it on Pornhub.

Moths to Light

Their visitors range wildly. First off, they have an unmatched reach across the globe. You don’t just want people from your home country visiting; you want all seven billion people on earth to show. Second, Pornhub visitors range from occasional users to obsessed shut-ins. You need all types to be successful in this business.

Familiarize yourself with the 80/20 principle. It applies to all businesses and many facets of life in general. Twenty percent of your clientele will make up eighty percent of your business. You need those shut-ins to keep you aloft. Pornhub is to shut-ins what light is to moths. You can’t ignore the occasional users, though. Twenty percent still equates to plenty of revenue. Even people who have never watched porn have heard of Pornhub, so all your bases are covered.

Pornhub has been around a long time, and you can trust it will be around for years to come. Warren Buffet made billions investing in businesses like Ford and various utility companies because he knew they had the infrastructure required to stick around for decades. That’s what Pornhub has done with porn.

You can advertise on any tube site you want, but Pornhub is a must. That’s one mountain you have to climb if you’re going to play in the big leagues. So get yourself a considerable headstart and post watermarked promos ASAP.
