Help with new paysite
 

I am just getting this new paysite going, and I am new at this. |banghead| It is in the erotic/nude genres, not hardcore. I haven't started to promote it yet, or seek affiliates, so now is a good time to ask for help.

I would like to ask for suggestions for improving the conversion ratio and increasing traffic. I have an affiliate program running with a few affiliates already. What is a good way to get more? I send out a regular newsletter with new fhg's and zips.

Yes, I know it needs more SEO. I had a round of SEO a few months ago, and the site has had some redesign since then. It's overdue for another round of SEO. But any suggestions are welcome.

And I know the blogs need more frequent entries, and more SEO-oriented entries. It's all just getting started. |scared|

Comments about anything are welcome. Thanks in advance! Ask any questions!

I think maybe a traditional tour might work better showcasing what the site has to offer. That main page is a bit confusing though I do like something different not sure that is the best idea.

Ramster, thanks! Your help is really appreciated. Do you mean you looked at the tour and didn't like it, or that you didn't see a tour?

I modeled the site after some successful sites in this genre. But they use several methods of bringing visitors into the site. Mainly, there is either a front page like mine, or an intro page with only three or 4 buttons, like Members, Join, Tour. I would like to know what people think might work better.

Thanks again, man. Any more comments would be greatly appreciated!

That's a good first page, mostly. I'd go with a more traditional kind of menu instead of the symbols at the bottom, and change the "Free Tour" to something like "More", so it doesn't scream at the surfer that it will cost money.
That's the same reason I hate the 3 button sites, "Join" "Members" "Tour"
At least give the surfer a chance to get half a hardon before you tell them it will cost to really get off ;)

Good advice, thanks. Just one thing, what do you mean by the symbols at the bottom? |confused| There are icons at the bottom of the front page, but they are just informational dressing. They occur in the tour as well, but nowhere else in the site.
