    yeah the above is very true... Here's a hint I came across and it's really helped out with my adult sites....

    Go through your text and every where you've written 'click here' change it to something more descriptive, same with 'more pics' and other vague terms, 'hot guy','welcome to..','view ...' it really helps you grab those valuable pages on the search engines and has your surfer clicking all over

    So simple.. But i was shocked to see how often I'd used shitty phrases like 'click here to see more' on my sites
