A Guide to Help You With Building and Running a Porn Tube Website.
(Note: I’m not claiming this is the ultimate best guide out there, there’s plenty of articles. I’m giving you my method, that I’m still using, and that works)
The big question you might be asking: How much money does a porn tube website make?
The real question is: how much work are you willing to put in? The very first 1-4 months is the feel bad period, barely any money, and no traffic. This is how Google algorithm works and it takes around that long to rank, but if you prevail, there will be a reward. Once the Google traffic starts coming in and it will, the cash will start flowing in. Simply because organic traffic converts on CPA offers so much better than let’s say Twitter.
Just to give you a taste, a well-run porn tube website with SEO traffic and well-placed ADs will make you from as little as $5 up to $1000’s depending on your traffic and the will power.
In this article, I’ll tell you what steps I recommend taking, in order to create a successful adult tube website, run on WordPress. Before I start I’m going to assume that you’ve basic technical knowledge about WordPress and some understanding of how the Internet works. Next thing, it’s not free to start a porn website, you’ll need around 250$to get you started and 3-6 months of hard SEO work while delivering good content daily. There’s a lot off ”free hosting methods” and this might be good for running a local pet store but not for creating a porn tube website.
Before we even start looking into services you’ll need in order to run a porn tube website, you need to have a plan in sight, and not going in blind. What do I mean by that?
What kind of porn tube you wanna be? Picking a niche is super important since it’s what you gonna be dealing with and focus your work around. What’s a niche porn tube website? it’s a term on which specific audience focused on and that makes it easier to rank for? You’ve realized that there’s is no point in competing with the big boys like PornHub or XHamster so you gotta pick a smaller audience that likes a certain thing/fetish. Fortunately, there’s a lot of sick fucks out there.
Using a free tool like UberSuggest – will help you find the right keywords to rank for.
For the sake of this entire post on how to run an adult porn website, we gonna focus on keyword ”Hairy Women”
Example: Let’s say that I like hairy women (I bet a lot of people do), you could make a porn tube site that only focuses on videos in this category. So if I was to check my keyword with the tool.
That’s what I get along with all the related keywords. Hairy Teen, Hairy Girls, Hairy Bush, Hairy Girls – these are the main phrases you could be ranking for very easily, with 70,000 searches a month.
With this in mind, I’d pick some catchy domain name, like let’s say: hairybushy.com (the name was available at the time of writing this post)
Now you should have a domain name in mind and a rough idea about the kind of content that you will be delivering. In order to proceed with it, read on.
Step 1. Offshore (outside the US) website host
This is the first and most important step, if you live in the US, you need an offshore host and domain registrar. Your website can get shut down if you get reported for constant DMCA’s
(DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) – copyright law, in force since 1998 in the US prohibiting the creation and dissemination of technologies that may be affected by digital mechanisms of copying restrictions).
I’ve been using services of many web hosts providers and 80% is garbage. To start an adult porn tube website, you need the speed, uptime and, response time. Hostinger is one the best in the category, great C-Panel, easy WP deployment, speed, and great value for money and it’s off the shore offering unlimited bandwidth, which is crucial when running a porn website.
Go on, and register your web-host and domain at Hostinger.
While you are there you gonna have to pick your domain name and proceed with the payment. Once you purchase the plan, log-in to your C-Panel, from your account section or find the link in the Email confirmation you should receive. Once done, login to you C-Panel add your website and install your WordPress on it using the ”Auto Installer” fill in the email address and the password for your WP admin panel and go ahead with the installation.
Once it’s done, you can access your website at ”YOURDOMAIN.COM/WP-ADMIN” log in, follow the next step.
Connecting your porn tube website to a CDN network.
CDN is short for a content delivery network. A content delivery network (CDN) is a system of distributed servers (network) that deliver pages and other Web content to a user, based on the geographic locations of the user, the origin of the webpage and the content delivery server.
This service is effective in speeding the delivery of content of websites with high traffic and websites that have global reach. The closer the CDN server is to the user geographically, the faster the content will be delivered to the user. CDN also provide protection from large surges in traffic.
Now the next thing you might want to do it to point domain’s DNS records to the CDN network. It’s simple and easy and will speed up the website, protect your IP and provide an SSL certificate, free of charge. You will also see detailed Analytics report.
I recommend Cloudflare
Simply register and follow the easy step by step instructions.
- Free SSL
- Analytics Report
- Point your name servers to theirs, log in to your C-Panel and do it.
It can take up to 24 hours for the records to update, once it’s done, your porn tube website now has a valid SSL certificate and is routed and protected by the CDN network.
Step 2. Picking the Best Theme for an Adult Tube Website.
Do you have to pay for a theme? No. I started off with a free theme I found online but it is just not worth the time. Free themes are slow, don’t offer a lot of options when it comes to customizing and creating a porn tube website.
Do you need to pay for a good adult porn video theme? There is no way around it, you need a good-looking, optimized for videos and speed theme. I can recommend the one I am using and it offers all the custom video options like/dislike feature, video views, advertising options both for mobile and desktop and much more. They offer the whole package that will help you create a good-looking adult tube website with earning potential.
They have just released a brand new theme to go with the previous two. They also offer one of the best tools for embedding videos from other tube websites and a very useful plugin that will remove all the branding and redirects from the videos you embedded and will allow you to insert your own in-video ads. Choosing the right theme is up to your taste.
- The website: Wp-Script.com
- Check out the latest theme: Ultima Tube
- Video Embedder – Adult Mass Video Embedder
- Get rid of ads and redirects – Clean Tube Player
The back-end offers everything that an adult tube website needs. Some useful tweaks you should make to cause less hassle for your self – disable comments, disable membership. In the content, section disable ”Show carousel on mobile”, ”Show video title”.
Text for SEO: Create around 350 words description of your website that will include all the keywords you will be using, the best way of doing it is to do an intro ”Welcome to my <your website>” if you like it ”bushy” watch out HQ collection of <category> <category description>, be sure to check out<next category> <category description>.
Here are some of the most important plugins you will need, so might as well get them now.
- Yost SEO – on-site & off-site SEO optimization plugin. This plugin is one of the most important ones when it comes to getting Google traffic, this is how you going to optimize your titles and taxonomy descriptions. I will talk in-depth later. For now, install it and connect it with your search console and Google Analytics account while adding a sitemap as well.
- WPS Hide Login – It will change the standard admin log-in URL, /wp-admin, to any link of your choosing i.e yourwebsite.com/mycustomloginpage/
- WP Forms Lite – Simple Contact form, create ”Contact” page and insert the shortcode, now you can have people contacting you via Email.
- WP-Optimize – You can clean up your database easily and safely, without manual queries. Run it every 2-3 weeks to keep your DB clean.
- WP 404 Auto Redirect to Similar Post – Gets rid of 404, good for SEO.
- Webcraftic Clearfy – WordPress optimization plugin – I have gone through many optimization plugins, this one has it all. Disables unused WordPress features, improves performance and increases SEO rankings, using Clearfy, which makes WordPress very easy. Very easy to use, you are safe to go through all the tabs and switch on recommended functions, this will speed up your website by a lot.
- UpdraftPlus – Backup/Restore – Backs-up your website, do it on regular basis, connect it with remote storage like google drive to keep a copy of your website just in case.
- Remove Query Strings – Removes all query strings from static resources meaning that proxy servers and beyond can better cache your site content
- Really Simple SSL – Makes your site SSL proof. Plug & play plugin.
- Jetpack by WordPress.com – Use it for user stats & lazy loading images, switch other settings off as they’re useless.
- Header Cleanup – Cleans up most of the unnecessary junk meta included by default in the WordPress header including generator, RSD, short link, previous and next, etc.
- Classic Editor – Glutenberg sux
- All In One WP Security – Protect your website from malicious activity, set firewalls, and IP lockdown. Set all the recommended functions on (Don’t disable Fake Google Bots, it can stop Google from indexing your website)
- AD Inserter – Inster ADs pretty much anywhere in your theme.
Most of the plugins are very easy to install, I’m going to assume you know the basics. Now it’s also a good idea to create all your ”basic pages”. Contacts, policies. etc.
Setting up the legal pages. Create your pages accordingly, use free policy generator for all your terms and privacy policy
For DMCA use any porn website and copy their template i.e
Top menu should include a home button, link categories, link to tags, link to the latest videos (Ultimately it’s your porn tube, look and feel is something personal you should adjust accordingly)
Step 3. Optimizing your Adult Tube for Security and Privacy.
This is also a very important step, your domain and host are kept abroad and additionally routed via CDN network to protect origin IP they’re safe & sound.
Now you have to keep your own identity and location secure. Why you might ask – because the porn industry is a shady business and if you look at any smaller/medium porn site, they are all mostly secured with no way of knowing who the fuck is running the show, and that’s how it should be. No one is gonna give a fuck about you now but the moment you show up on the radars it’s better to be invisible.
Similar to CDN which applies to your website, you will need VPN, which applies to you.
“VPN”, short for “Virtual Private Network”, refers to a network in which every data transfer goes through the VPN and from the to the requested address. If you are from the US you can set your VPN address to let’s say Russia. It will slightly slow down your network speed but make you anonymous.
The VPN service that I am currently using offers very high-speed, very good user interface and locations from all over the world you can connect to. It is by far the cheapest one I could find and currently, number one on the market. VPN will cost you around 13$ for a month or 70$ for a year, if you in it to win it, a year it is.

Go ahead and pick your plan, pay and once you do you will instantly be prompt we download. Install it.
Every time you want to log-in to your tube website/c-panel/upload/download or do anything that has to do with your project, use VPN!
Step 4. Embedding Videos & Optimizing Porn Tube Website – SEO, Key-Words, Meta Descriptions, Taxonomies.
When it comes to adult porn videos SEO – the Category & the Tag (Taxonomies) descriptions are the most important elements – this is what the search engine looks for when someone types in the search term ”hairy bush”.
You can see that the top results are Tag & Category based. Unique video titles are also super important, but taxonomy meta descriptions are the priority.
Create your first category ”Hairy Teens” (then hairy women, hairy milfs, hairy armpits) and so on.
Importing your first video to your – decide what kind of Porn Tube Website you want.
Long & quality videos – Redtube or Youporn – my favorite tubes when it comes to quality content. Full-length HD videos in with no branding or redirects, on our side. This kind of content reduces bounce rate and makes users come back.
Short videos – The kind I call fap & forget, it’s okay for if you are as big as let’s say xnxx.com. But as a niche porn tube website you need content, quality, and user retention., in the long-term it will make you money.
Make sure to adjust the settings first (image below)
How to Embed porn videos to your tube site using the mass embedder plugin
Pick the hairiest content you can find. Change the unique title from the original to the one you are building your adult porn tube site on. Always make sure the title contains the unique keyword or its acronym (a different word that means the same thing) Now this is the boring part. The titles of every video need to be adjusted for your keyword needs.
Once you got all the videos with tittle adjusted, pick the category and hit import.
Proceed to the video tab and let’s edit the videos that you just imported and edit using the template. Click Publish.
Taxonomy meta descriptions for porn videos that will rank in search engines.
You got the first video, now we have to edit all the tags and set meta descriptions for that video and all the future videos. Some work has to be done manually and the rest with the Yoast SEO plugin. Head over to video category section and hit Edit on ”Hairy Teens” If we want to have any chances vs the search engines, some adjustments have to be made. As you can see its all blank and not really friendly with either Google or users. Leave the name & slug as it is, scrolls down to Yoast’s Meta description. Delete all the defaults like ”title’ ”separator” and so on.
The basic rule here is to remember the human, what do I mean: Imagine that you are searching for this type of content. Not only do you need the keyword but the right phrasing along with in. If you struggle just Google the keyword and just rewrite the descriptions other tubes use.
This meta description WILL rank as long as you provide good video content for it.
This process has to be repeated for every video category in your porn tube’s collection. Now mouse over the Yoast Plugin and go to search appearance. If you haven’t done it before, set the site appearance of your homepage. This has to include the SEO title and description.
Title example: Only Hairy Bushes & Curly Pussies, Your Hair Fetish Site.
The meta description has to include a quick overview of the categories your porn tube website is going to have. Head over to the Taxonomy tab. The video category stays as it is, we already set the meta title and you don’t want duplicate meta descriptions.
Video Tag has huge SEO & traffic impact. I will save you a lot of time and effort that I went through. We can set a description that will fit every tag on the adult tube website you are creating.
Using the function ”Term title” we have a description that will match all the tags on your website. Install plugin called: Better Robots.txt – Index, rank & SEO booster. It will set alt attributes of pictures to match the titles and keywords. Well done.
Adult Porn Tube Website is Set-Up and Ready For More Videos.
Import and start embedding good and relevant porn video content relevant to your categories, make sure you follow the meta description guidelines, keep up the work & never stop!
