Why would any successful webmaster send his traffic to a tube site that has 10 to 15 minute videos for free of the sponsors he is trying to convert.
You would now be 10 times less likely to convert your traffic and on top of that you would be losing sales from the cam and dating sponsors. Doesn't make sense to me even with there being a banner to each sponsor being pushed.
I have no doubt it will make you some money though. very nice set up.

Great questions guys, Im glad someone asked.
Its pretty simple actually...
When you send traffic to a tour, you have 1 chance to convert at 1 sponsor.
When you send traffic to gutter, not only do you have a chance to convert at multiple sponsors through over 800 sites, but you can convert the same surfer MULTIPLE times. And since Gutters a sticky site with lots of entertainment, they bookmark and keep coming back or they join Gutter Free which keeps your surfer around so they can eventually make you money which is unlike a tour where they either convert or drop off.
We have a free join ratio of about 1:120. Our Free to Premium ratio is 1:45
So instead of giving your traffic 1 shot at 1 sponsor, give them a chance to convert at multiple sponsors, multiple times
On another note, we see the most banner clicks on longer, quality videos then on short ones. Thats why one of our requirements for TubeClicks sponsors has been a minimum video length of 2 minutes. Some sponsors use longer videos on Gutter, some keep em 2-3 mins. If the content is good and the surfers a buyer, they WILL find what they like and will convert.
Hope that answers your questions, guys
