Getting traffic to a movie site

Hello warriors,

Question, I'm running a movie/tv show site on the side with cpa lead to see if I can make anything of it. Now there's an unlimited amount of keywords I can rank for all sorts of movies and episodes (granted it's pretty hard in this niche) and lately using videos and short clips on youtube is a waste of time...

because youtube are cracking down on it quite abit (or should I say google?). Copyrighted etc.. even if I just use slideshow images.

I tested with doing reviews, now that works because I don't use any copyrighted content and youtube says freedom of speech is allowed so I literally make a video of me or a screenshot of a written piece explaining the episode.

But if you're going to be covering all sorts of episodes, that becomes counter productive and a time waste, and I don't plan on outsourcing anything just yet.

But the reviews do not get much viewing anyway....

I figured the best keywords to rank for are those shows or movies not yet out, my question is, how would you go about ranking for those keywords without videos?

And the best I could do is 1-2 articles talking about what it's going to be about and a few other bits and pieces (but even these seem to be within the millions in quotations, ridiculous I know :/ ).

Usually I'd be good at driving traffic, but with a niche like this where all the keywords are either ridiculously hard to rank for or stupidly bad for traffic (with barely any medium keywords) then I'm stuck for ideas.

Naughty me even tried a torrent, I wont try that again. Although the traffic from a torrent doesn't convert well, because to profit from CPA you want to be using their gateway.

And when people see your pass wording the file and making them go to a page to fill out a survey for a password they figure they can get another torrent without a password.

I like the challenge so I wont give up on this niche just yet, plus some of the sites I hear get as high as 35k unique daily from these sort of sites which would be awesome.

Now I could drive traffic eventually from sheer content filling, or continually bombard backlinks to each and every episode page in excess of 100+ backlinks for each episode of each season (that in essence would work, but finding that many relevant backlinks may be a pain in the ass, and I have no guarantee of ranking for any of the keywords, at best maybe some random ones). Although there's no way your going to create 20-30-40-100+ backlinks to each and every episode of each and season and not get huge traffic.

Especially if I cover 10 TV shows that have an average of at least 15 episodes per season and over 4 seasons.

What would you warriors do?

Btw, time and money are not an issue, although it's a personal challenge to complete this tasks as quick as possible without outsourcing. I want to be making $100 with the cpalead gateway.

Again it's a challenge, not a plead for desperate help, I'm just wondering what you guys would do.

Thanks, Jay.
