I am newer than most tgp posters here (and I mainly post movies infact) but there are a couple of things I picked up during my own trials and errors.
1. Your gallery, if it is softcore, should market the girl. Make the surfer feel that he is a part of the life of the model. Let him get to know her. I've had excellent results when writing the marketing text from the point of view of the girl.
2. It is also an excellent idea to NOT link directly to the tour. But the free samples you give away should be made to tease. For instance 5-6 250*350 images with text inticing them to join on a page have worked wonders. For instance, my last post on the hun was promoting teenhitchhikers and yeilded 9 direct signups through this method.
3. It is never a good idea to let an interested surfer get away. I usually link to various other teaser pages on my main teaser page on different niches. That yeilded another 6 signups plus a lot of new bookmarkers to my own free sites. Of course, you are promoting your own site, but if you really want to make the most out of your surfer, think about joining up for a couple of sponsors who provide something different than you do and if they don't buy from you, try and sell them something else! Specially on TGP traffic from the big guys, it does real wonders!
