So I have a huge back catalogue that still looks great. My new video ppm / download site is finally starting to move which is exciting and I will be opening and morphing a couple of sites shortly that I think are really good.l Anyone else going full on video now and do you think its a good idea? I think its the way forward.

I totally agree with your strategy but sadly for us it's a non starter. As I said in a separate reply to Toby it would need and investment of £2500 plus to go down that route and in today's market I am really not sure it's worth the risk.
What's more finding models here in Tenerife who are comfortable with video has been a major challenge. It's hard enough finding photo models let alone those who will do video.
If I have to start bringing models over here as well, then the costs are a non starter.
In fact, I am considering giving the paysite side up once and for all and concentrating on my TGPs/Index sites. I make way more money (profit), it's far less work, and it's just enough fun.

However, my only concern is that, down the line, if I started offering more MHG's instead of FHG's, some affiliates might stop promoting my site because they only post picture galleries.....

That's because most MHGs feature totally rubbish quality videos. I always am happy to post MHGs of the right quality!
