Fill in the empty "letters" on your lower-right listing box so that it doesn't look like it's half-full (or half-empty). Get creative... H can be hairy, hirsute... F can go to your fetish paysite, O could be "orgasmic" something, etc.
I realize your table cells are laid out for spacing but you might do better if you turn the top 20 referrer list into a double-ten list to make it shorter and get some more thumbs on the top fold of the page. (Put the 20 into two vertical rows instead of one long one.)
Use alt text on your thumbs for SE spiders... and a little php script to rotate the thumbs every visit to the page. If a surfer *does* come back to see what's new (since it says updated daily), you don't want him to see the exact same thing. Just moving the thumbs to a different spot will make him think it's been updated, but having about 50 different thumbs to rotate through will be even better.
It takes more time and work, but actual descriptions get better clicks than "free pic 01, free pic 02, gallery 01" and are also better for SEO.
You've got a teeny tiny little link at the bottom telling surfers to add the site to their favorites... put a reminder at the top too and make it bigger. 
As for traffic, don't forget to use it as a dump for the non-productive traffic coming off of your paysites and friends' lists... lots of traffic there already to seed your trades and it's free.

Hey thanks ! Now that's the kind of straight up advice that I like.... and if you recheck the site I've already fixed most of what you mentioned. It's always better having extra eyes to point out things you overlooked.
Thanks baby !!!
