What's your main source of traffic?
Just got back into the business after a 10-month layoff to pursue a mainstream internet project which was more than a full-time effort. Prior to leaving the business, I was submitting galleries to TGPs... got 3 or 4 of them into TheHun over the same number of weeks. The hit counter went crazy, but sales were few and far between... but at least there were sales. No big surprise here... I've always been aware that TGP traffic was of poor quality. However, the landscape of the business has changed a bit and now TGP submitting seems to be an even bigger pain than it was before. Is it worth the effort? Would like to know how many people ignore this effort completely in favor of other methods? And, what those other methods are? Have been working hard at SEO, but the rewards of that aren't imminent.

I don't have to be careful. I got a gun

Currently my main source of traffic is SEs. I know that's not the best thing and I'll work on changing that.
As for your question related to SEO, it does pay off in the end if you do it right away ( no spamming, solid link trade partners etc. ) but I do no recommend anyone to live off just se traffic, because most of the time SE rankings are volatile. |

You can now put whatever you want in this space :)

IMHO, what choices do you have? Galleries, free sites, text links, forums, etc. I don't think there is a "magic bullet" these days. Its hard work on all the above that get you sales and the cumulative content of your site/submissions over time that will bring in sales.

My main source is SE traffic, though lately bookmark traffic has started to become a barely noticible presence in my stats... but that's probably because I haven't been building enough freesites lately.
Before that it was probably hoes/LOR/gremlin's pointed to my freesites.

Mine are link list traffic to my free sites and tgp traffic to my galleries, then se traffic to both of those. Starting a linklist to get some bookmarker, SE, and link trade traffic.

Just kidding about the $20, I need more than that
Seriously, one of the benefits of being around a while is bookmark traffic, don't know if they buy much, maybe they just like the free stuff I get traffic from trades and SE's as well. Top lists are OK too, I don't use a lot of them, but they're ok when you're starting something new that has a good eye catching title & description. I have a lot of feeder AVS sites that all link to my LL and have links inside the protected pages as well as outside, so that's good for hits. Gotta mix it up, don't rely on any one thing coz if that one thing disappears you're fucked

SEO is a long term thing, and in the end I see it as a time sink unless I have an ultra sticky site.
I have single blog posts that make sales every week, and an entire site that just sits there and burn BW.

My husband has a couple of sites and I have my own, our search terms are fantastic with Google, I manage 90% of all traffic through search engines and conversions are good but when you are searching for worn, used or dirty panties, your not exactly looking for much else... I am hoping to have a go at freesites myself and branch out during 2007. Search engine traffic is great but if you get used to an income based on what Google sends you just one blip and it is all gone. I am going to focus 100% on non search engine traffic and consider that whatever it sends me for my new project will be a bonus, for the first 12 months at least..

Shut up brain, or I'll stab you with a Q-tip!

I'm actually getting some good traffic out of Google and other SEs. No sales yet (unfortunately), but considering how long my site has been around (a few weeks) it's encouraging to see the amount of traffic coming in from them. SEO really isn't as much as a pain in the ass as everyone makes it out to be. There are just two things you need to really pay attention to when building a website: character encoding (iso-8859-1 in my case) and doctype (XHTML 1.0 Transitional in my case). Make sure your site at validator.w3.org (e.g. http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=www.adultpicweb.com) and the search engines will be more than happy to index your site. Unfortunately, exactly how long your site will remain at the top of any heap in terms of results is extermely unpredictable (I've seen my site be at the top of some results for a little while then just disappear).
Traffic trading is where the majority of my traffic seems to come from though, but its extremely painful though as some people seem to try and yank my chain with hit bots and other crap. I currently have my system set to obey findtrades, but I really am starting to think about making it exclusive to find trades. Note: if you're looking into traffic trading backends I'm actually thinking of not recommending ePower Trader (I'm actually thinking of replacing it) because some of the numbers that it's giving me and some of behavior it's reporting make no sense. RSS also does seem to be yielding a lot of return traffic for me so that's something to think about. |

My main source is also SEs. I stopped submitting about a year ago. It is too much work for me with bad result. I do know someone that makes a fortune from submitting galleries.
