So I created my first free site/ fake tgp LOL

[PrivateIvy]

Hey guys

Some of you know me but some don't, so for those that don't I run a network of 12 paysites including my own. Mostly single model sites but a couple sites I run for photographers - 2 multi model sites and 1 bondage/fetish site.

Looking for new traffic sources and I bought a domain 6 monthes ago with plans to do my own fake tgp or free site and never got around to it LOL

Anyhow, I through some code together and plugged galleries from my sites as well as a few sponsors , so check it out and let me know what you think.

Also, what's the best way to get traffic to it? I've already done some toplists and trades, but I'm new to this end of things since I'm usually promoting pay sites, so any advice is great .

Thanks !

Ivy

Oh, and the new site..in progress hehe http://www.HotBabesList.com

I haven't done anything like this in a while but if it were me I'd buy some cheap traffic. Trade more of it off than you have to a number of people. If you buy 20,000/day, trade 10,000 to one one person and 10,000 to another and so on (or whatever you estimate you can send out with a lot of extra traffic coming in). Each person you trade with gives you more traffic coming in to trade out.

Ask them to force traffic to you. Motivate them. Send them a nude photo. ;-) There are plenty of impressionable (stupid) guys with more traffic than they know what to do with.

Once your traffic buy ends you'll settle at some lower daily traffic but if you do it right it could be considerable.

Good start.

You might consider hooking in Remote Thumbs to put some real content on there that updates every day to gain traffic a bit easier. All of the RT galleries are YOUR sponsors, so you get paid off of that to boot.

If you dont have a trading script hooked in, get one. This will also help you sling around some traffic. You can also buy junk traffic fairly cheap to seed the site and your trades.

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 !!!
