If you didn't produce the content, purchase the content, or have permission to use the content, you are using illegal content on your blog. You can't "borrow" content from other message boards, newsgroups, torrent sites, and the likes to use on your sites.

For content... Join a few sponsors that offer sites in the niches you wish to target on your blog. Use the content the sponsor provides you to advertise their paysites. Link the content to the matching FHG, custom ads page, or directly to the paysite. You earn money from each person who joins the paysite you are advertising.

Another way to legally use content is to purchase content. You can then link that content to any paysite, custom ads page, custom tour page, your own sites...,providing you follow the terms of the content license, to generate revenue.

How are you going to earn money from this site? Hope that people will join for a premium membership to the image host? What is their incentive when they can still download the full video without registering? You might get some clicks to ads on the sidebars, but there really isn't anything there to build the excitement to get them to click.

You need more text in your posts if you want to get anywhere with the search engines. One generic sentence just isn't going to cut it.

Why should surfers subscribe to your RSS feed? Why should they bookmark your blog? Why should they plug your blog on other sites? Why should they click on your ads? You aren't giving your surfers any incentive to do anything besides download free movies. Talk to your surfers. There's human beings looking at your blog and you are doing nothing to create or enhance an existing fantasy. You aren't speaking to them. You are uploading a bunch of content hoping a surfer will pay for an account at your image host, click a random banner in your sidebar, or subscribe to your feed. Why should they bother when there are hundreds of other places to get the same things you are offering?

If you are going to use this blog for more than just a feeder blog, traffic trader, or as part of a search engine strategy, don't use a free blog host. Register a domain and get hosting. Both are cheap enough. With a free blog host, you don't actually own your own site. You are at the mercy of the blog host. Free blog hosts have their uses. Just don't use them for a main, money earner blog.
