well, if I can make any suggestion to you it would be to work with your galleries a little more and try different layouts. Your layouts aren't bad, but they aren't all that great either. The main thing I see is that you aren't giving your visitors any real reason to click through. You are giving them some nice samples then you have banners and a few text links, but the text links basically just say "click here for her site" or other generic things like that. You really need to entice the surfer and encourage them to click. Tell them it is okay to click and make them feel like they are going to be missing out if they don't.

One thing I would suggest is to go to places like thehun.net and do some homework. The top 15-20 spots on his daily list are paid placements that cost anywhere from $200-$600 per listing. These galleries must convert or they would not be buying those spots. Don't copy them, but study them and ask yourself: "What do they have that I don't have?"

Also I would suggest selling a niche you really have passion for and bring that passion to the gallery design. For example. I love lesbians and because of that I can make good lesbian galleries and I can communicate well with other people that like lesbian porn so, for me, it sells well. I don't understand and am not at all into shemale porn, so I can't seem to sell that worth a shit because I have no passion for it and can't seem to write/design well for that niche. What I'm saying is that - when you are starting out - you shouldn't pick a niche based on what you think will sell, pick a niche based on what you like. Once you have perfected that you can move more into niches that you know less about.

Two other quick things.

1. Are you getting partner accounts? Many smaller TGPs will give them to you for free and even some of the big ones will too. Take a few days and work to get some partner accounts if you aren't already doing so.

2. Stay away from banners. There have been many studies done that show surfers are pretty much banner blind these days. I'm not saying nobody will click it, but many won't. So unless the banner is interesting and unique I would steer clear of it. A well written text link will out draw a banner any day of the week.

Anyway, just wanted to chime in an give my 2 cents

good luck.
