Hi I have just started a new site www.gaynutz.com and am looking for some advice on getting traffic there. If anyone has good advice for a newcomer into this industry I would really appreciate it. I am particularily interested in search engine optimization. Look forward to hearing from people.

Ryan works with us a few hours a week and is a great guy... very motivated, and has been working hard on getting started as an affiliate. I think he'll go far in the biz with a little help...
I suggested that he post here, since you guys know a lot more about the traffic and affiliate side of the business than we do at this point... so give him a warm welcome
Getting Traffic to your Site and SEO
Your site appears to be a picture gallery site with content provided by your sponsor...so I'll base my suggestions on that premise.
Check the articles & tutorials at GWW for help. CozyFrog also has extensive tutorials on the adult porn business (a lot of the information is out of date but it's still a good place to get loads of starting information).
Free ways to get traffic started:
1. Submit your site to the two big search engines: http://www.google.com/addurl.html and http://submit.search.yahoo.com/free/request
2. Submit your site to gay link lists, gay directories, gay search engines, adult search engines. Look in the resource section here at GWW. http://www.gaytraffiq.com/ has a good listing under link lists. Also, check the ones you submit to for more links list leads. Don't bother with non-gay adult link lists as they usually have a 30 or 40 pic maximum limit.
3. Ask for hard link trades in the traffic section of gay webmaster forums. I'll be happy to do a link trade with you for one my sites if you'd email me at mcintyd1@comcast.net.
SEO:
1. Have good meta tag text for title, description and keywords in the head section. Add the <meta name="robots" content="index,follow"> on every page.
2. More important is having plenty of keyword-rich text on your pages. On your first page, add more text describing in detail what sort of guys and pictures you have inside. On the gallery links page, add text describing each link...an easy way to do this is to put the text in an alt="text goes here" attribute for your <img> element.
Other non-traffic suggestions:
1. Get information on US law Title 18 Section 2257. Do a web search...or look in adult porn tutorial sections. You'll want to have a 2257 statement on your site. Also, with your current format, if you add user-submitted self-porn pics, you'll need 2257-compliant model releases with proof of ID.
2. You show cock on your warning page? If you want to have a warning page, I suggest removing the nudity from your warning page.
So you're looking for help/info on TGPs or SEO & Search Engines?? Cuz they're two different beasts...
Oh well, either way there's some good info here -- there's been in the past few weeks some good TGP info posted, check those threads.
There's been some good threads lately also on which gay linklists / directories to submit to.
For SEO tips check out any thread that Dzinerbear or Gaystoryman have put input on. (hint -- the site review threads). Also check out searchenginewatch.com
On the seo front you're going to have to put a lot more text on your pages for starters.

Hi, thanks to all of you for responding to my first ad it really helped me out alot. I have a couple more questions Im hoping can be answered. So my site comes up on gaynutz when you search gaynutz.com, however the likelihood of someone doing that is probably very small..... where should I place text (keywords) so that will make my site be brought up on google?
Also, I have a few questions regarding link trading... Does it matter where you put the other persons link?
Moving on, where can I get good traffic? I have been reading posts on cozyacademy and some other sites and have signed up for several different programs but no traffic came of it... Any advice?
My last question is in regards to site design... Do I absolutely need to have a warning page? Should I have less thumbs of hosted galleries and just more text describing them? www.gaynutz.com
Thank you all for taking time to read this post I appreciate any advice you can shoot my way.

Placement of keyword text for Google SEO: anywhere on the page will work; repeating your keywords on your page helps.
Placement of recip links: Link lists usually have a rule about this. So see what the link list rules are. The strictest link lists require that the recip link be above the enter link on the warning page.
No traffic came of your link list submissions? Link lists/directories always have site submission rules. You have to follow the rules precisely or they will not list you. Generally, the more traffic a link list gets, the stricter it is as far as rules goes. (I know some of the best link lists will not list a TGP-style site...if this is the problem, you may want to try listing on the smaller or newer link lists.)
Warning page? You can get by without it, but some link lists require you to have one.
Thumb links and text? I like the way you are doing it now.
Another way to build traffic: You are building this site into a big "fake" TGP site. You can recycle your galleries into small free sites of say 20 to 40 pics. CozyAcademy (and other places) describe in detail how to build and market small free sites. Your small free sites can have a link to gaynutz.com, all of which will build more traffic.
