Hi CalModels,

I would strongly recommend reading more threads in this Newbie section, specifically about free sites. It's tempting to ask a ton of questions and be showered with silver-bullet answers from the adult webmaster gods...All the information you need to make money is already here, you just have to do a little digging around so you can save yourself and others time.

The term "free sites" have very little to do with a site being free. The term refers to a specificly structured site made up of 4 pages: index.html, main.html, gallery1.html, gallery2.html. For more info, you can run a search here for "Free sites," or cruise over to Link-o-rama.com and look around at tons of free sites there. You can also check out one of my old free sites here.

Free sites aren't the only way to make money in this biz but they'll teach you about building traffic and other webmastering fundamentals so I would recommend you at least giving it a try for a few months.

In terms of getting traffic:

First, I would stop spamming newsgroups.

Second, I would SE optimize the site and do some linktrades with other site owners to get some traffic from Google/Yahoo.

Thirdly, if your goal is to sell paysites like First Time Videos, etc, I would build free sites, or TGP galleries instead of just slamming a banner on your page. If you're getting decent pornstar traffic already, a banner might work, but otherwise expect it to just sit there.

I'm not sure what you're trying to make money with. Are you hoping to turn your lingerie site into a paysite eventually? Are you using the lingerie pics to just get people to click on your banners?

If you're planning to turn it into a paysite, I would remove all of the banners.

If your goal is to have people click on your banners... then I would still remove most of the banners because they're not effective without decent amount of relevant traffic and to build that traffic, you're better off building free sites or galleries for a particular paysite you're trying to sell.
