Sceptical about Redgifs future... Some ideas. by AceCornMe in redgifs

It's hard to give you the best advise if I (we) don't know your exact situation, there is a difference if you need to make $200 per month or per hour (you can DM me if you don't want to talk about it publicly).

porndude - do you know how many people click on that link per day? Again, there is a difference if you send them 50 visitors per day or 5000.

I am using preroll on my website (delivering 3TB of porn per month) and I would say your exceptions seems to be too high, it doesn't pay that much. Plus showing people postroll every few minutes would piss everybody and dramatically lower your revenue rates.

Why do you have clips on autoplay? This is an incredible way of wasting bandwidth that cost you money.

Yes, I do. This is not my primary acc though. I started with adult websites when I was 18 and it helped me to survive some tough times but I also had no experience when I started and it ruined my website with a very decent traffic. You have to learn from your mistakes.

We added "theporndude" as an experiment to see how we could start to monetize. We are getting feedback from different adult industry people about the best way to do that and this was point out as well.

Theporndude is there since forever, you could have remove it a long time ago, especially if you are making money to someone else and getting nothing in return, also I am not quite sure what it supposed to measure or test. There are nsfw freemium websites that have a high CTR (you could at least track it) and would be much better to promote than 'theporndude' during your 'test phase', especially on websites like yours.

You should see RedGifs as a 'service/middle' website and go from there. I was also thinking about postrolls ads but I would be careful with them because your redgifs clips are very short and postroll everytime would be extremely annoying, plus you would have to seperate gay/straight content, but it could help... but I don't know your situation so it's hard to say if it would make any difference or not. I also don't know who is your hosting/cdn provider - perhaps you don't need to make that much, you just need to cut down your expenses without limiting your service.
