You don’t grow a tube site by doing one huge “revamp” every six months.

You grow it by doing small, boring tweaks every week.

The good news: if your site already imports videos with something like WPTubeBot, the hard part (getting content) is done. What you need now is a simple routine that keeps the site improving while the importer works in the background.

In this post I’ll show you a realistic plan:

• 1-2 hours per week
• Always the same simple steps
• No crazy SEO theory

Follow this for a few months and your site will look better, convert better, and be easier to manage.

1. Block a “tube hour” once per week

First rule: growth only happens if you show up regularly.

Pick a fixed moment once per week. For example:

• Monday morning
• Sunday evening
• One night after work

Make it your “tube hour” (or two). During that time you:

1. Look at what’s happening on the site
2. Fix small problems
3. Make small improvements

That’s it. No big projects. Just routine.

2. Look at what users actually touch

Before changing anything, you need to know where people go.

Open your analytics (GA4, Plausible, whatever you use) and check:

• Top 10 pages for the last 7 days
• Top categories
• Top traffic sources (Google, direct, referral, social)

Don’t over-analyse. Just ask:

• Which pages get the most love?
• Is that where I want people to land?
• Are those pages good… or a bit ugly?

You’re going to spend most of your weekly tweaks on these high-traffic spots.

3. Spend 20 minutes on your homepage & categories

Your homepage and category pages are like your shop window. If they look messy, everything feels cheap.

Each week, pick one of these:

• Homepage
• A main category (e.g. “Amateur”, “MILF”, “VR”)
• A tag / niche page that gets a lot of traffic

And do one small pass:

3.1. Fix titles and text

• Is the title clear? (Example: “Amateur Porn Videos – Daily Updates”, not “Amateur Stuff”.)
• Add or improve a short intro (3-6 lines) explaining:
  • What the visitor will find
  • How often it’s updated
  • Anything special (HD, VR, specific niches)

3.2. Clean up the grid

• Hide any weird or off-topic videos from that category.
• If you see a lot of totally random stuff, adjust your WPTubeBot filters so new imports for that category are cleaner (exclude strange tags or sites that don’t fit).

Tiny changes here have a big impact, because these pages get visited a lot.

4. Improve just 3 video pages per week

Instead of trying to “SEO” thousands of videos, you’re going to polish three per week.

Pick from your analytics:

• 3 video pages that already get traffic
• Or 3 that you personally like and want to push

For each one, do this:

4.1. Make the title human and clickable

• Keep it short, clear and specific
• Example:
  • ❌ “Teen 04 in kitchen”
  • ✅ “Shy teen in kitchen – soft amateur POV in 4K”

You don’t need poetry, just clarity.

4.2. Add 2-3 sentences under the player

Right below the video, add a tiny text block:

• What is happening?
• From which site / studio is it?
• Why might someone like it? (POV, HD, amateur, etc.)

This makes the page look less like a raw feed and more like an intentional choice.

4.3. Add 35 smart internal links

• Link to the main category (e.g. “More amateur videos”)
• Link to a related category (e.g. “More POV here”)
• Link to 2-3 other videos that really match the same vibe

Now that video page is more useful, better connected, and a bit more unique.

3 pages per week = 156 upgraded pages per year.
That’s a lot.

5. Adjust your imports a tiny bit

Your importer (WPTubeBot or similar) is your content engine.
Once per week, spend 10-15 minutes checking how it behaves.

5.1. Are you importing too much?

Signs you import too much:

• Your server feels slow
• You don’t even have time to see what’s coming in
• Tons of low-quality or off-topic videos appear

Fixes:

• Lower the videos per run
• Run the cron a bit less often
• Temporarily disable one or two providers that send junk

5.2. Are you importing too little?

Signs you import too little:

• Homepage barely changes
• Categories look frozen
• “Latest” pages show videos from weeks ago

Fixes:

• Increase videos per run slowly
• Add one extra provider that matches your niche
• Make sure cron is actually running (check last import time)

5.3. Clean up obvious garbage

Look at the new videos from the last days:

• Delete or unpublish those that are totally off-topic
• If you always delete the same kind of junk, adjust the provider filters so they never arrive again.

Think of it as gardening: trim a little each week and the garden never becomes a jungle.

6. Test one small monetization change

Don’t redesign your whole monetization strategy every week.
Just test one small thing.

Ideas:

• Move a banner:
  • From sidebar → under the player
  • From too far down → just below the title or above the grid
• Add one new text link:
  • Example: “Watch full scenes on [Sponsor]” under the video
• Remove one annoying element:
  • Too many popunders or fake buttons? Kill one and see if bounce rate improves.

Write down what you changed and leave it for at least a week.
In your next “tube hour”, check if clicks or sign-ups improved.

Small, controlled changes beat random chaos.

7. Quick technical health check

You don’t need to be a sysadmin, but once per week:

1. Visit your site on mobile
   • Is the player usable?
   • Are the menus tap-friendly?
   • Does anything look broken?
2. Open a few random pages
   • No 404 errors?
   • Thumbnails loading fine?
   • No weird PHP warnings?
3. If you use a cache plugin, clear cache after bigger tweaks
   • New menus, big CSS changes, etc.

If something feels wrong:

• Disable the last plugin you installed, or
• Undo the last change you made that week

You don’t need perfect speed scores, just a site that loads and works.

8. A simple weekly checklist

To make this easy, here’s a checklist you can literally copy:

Weekly Tube Routine (1-2 hours)

• Check analytics: top 10 pages & categories
• Improve one main page (home or category):
  • Clear title
  • Short intro text
  • Remove obvious junk
• Upgrade 3 video pages:
  • Better title
  • 2-3 sentences under player
  • 3-5 internal links
• Review imports:
  • Too many or too few?
  • Adjust provider limits/filters
  • Delete any new garbage
• Test one monetization tweak
• Quick mobile/desktop check for broken stuff

That’s it.

Do this 4 weeks in a row and you’ll already see:

• Cleaner categories
• Stronger top pages
• A site that feels “alive” instead of abandoned

Do it for 6-12 months and the compound effect is huge.

Final thoughts

Growing a tube site doesn’t require secret hacks or super advanced SEO.

What really works is:

• Letting your importer (WPTubeBot or whatever you use) do its job
• Showing up every week to clean, polish and adjust
• Focusing on the pages that get traffic, not on perfection everywhere

Tiny improvements, repeated, beat big plans that never happen.
