Hi everybody --

I'm new to the board and, I do realize that this is an adult site forum, but I seriously need some help here...

I run a unique type of site that welcomes both adult and G-rated content. The site has many features that appeal to the GLBT audience including a fully gay-oriented personals section, chat room, diary area, and even a 24/7 Internet radio station playing Top 40-ish music with DJ's that come on once a week (including a dance genre DJ). We even have a bismal "adult area" that basically includes links to video streams from AEBN (I know, *slap!* ).

The problem is that I need to have more visitors and generating traffic for something like this is a little hard. We have a nice clean interface, great features everywhere, a web programmer available 24/7 to do any customizations (he's great, btw) and the running theme is that everything's free. Well, what I was thinking is that we have this great built-in system that allows us to restrict content dynamically throughout the entire site for people under 18 yo or people we can't verify because they're not registered (we allow registrations from persons 13 yo and up) -- but we're really only using it for the personals area. And, being it's a GLBT-oriented site, we know how many of the visitors are interested in porn in some form.

So, does anybody have any suggestions on how to get more visitors, maybe a sponsor or even a good way to build-up the "adult area" into an appealing adult section? Thanks everybody! I really like all the great ideas everybody has on here, btw!

Cheers.
