Video Sites

Has anyone had experience with websites that use video as its main content. I just threw one together realy fast and it seems to be doing pretty well. Wondering if anyone else has had experience with this.

no , where are you getting your content?

I don't, but don't you need a good webhosting deal for that? The traffic that the videos generate must be quite heavy if you get alot of visitors.

not a problem as most "video sites" are using embedded other video sites content.

I don't really think theres anything wonderful about video sites that use other sites content.

I'm excited to see what youtubes advertising plan is, I read they will pay users a percentage of advertising generated from videos that they upload.

Yeah, revenue sharing seems to be the next direction for youtube and a few other sites. A video site could succeed if it focuses on a particular niche. Imitation is right about embedded video. It don't think it uses up as much bandwidth. I lot of people use it for their wordpress sites.

Alright the CTR has normalized now that its been up for about a day. It is about half of what my text only sites are but I am making about $1 per click. Im fairly happy right now with it.

Ron, you mean click thru on text ads (adsense) on the page with your videos, or are you using other types of ads?

ps... what topic are the videos?

Yea I'm curious about that too. Do you just have a small description on the video or what? PM me an example if you wouldn't mind...I wont give you fake clickys [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Ron,

I thought about that a couple of weeks ago. Cool to see it is a good idea.

How did you get traffic into the site though?

I just used Myspace to test it out. I usualy manualy drive traffic to a site to check things out when I first start working on it to see if it is worth putting in more work. I found that the CTR for this video site is realy low. I do much better with text based sites. Maybe the content is just too interesting. Anyway im going to keep messing with it and see what happens. Ill keep everyone updated.
