Increasing Traffic

[MikeJeffs]

I run a Britney Spears non-nude site and although its not adult, many of the principles of adult traffic seem to hold true.

What I'm wondering is the advantages and disadvantages of using a CJ script in comparison to a top referrers script such as TrackYourStats.

I launched my site a few months back and in less than two weeks I peaked at 19,000 uniques/day - I wish I knew how to repeat this. I had host troubles which meant none of my thumbnails loaded this resulted in me losing over 1/2 that traffic.

My site is www.mikejeffs.com/sexybritney (http://www.mikejeffs.com/sexybritney)

I would welcome any constructive criticism, suggestions etc on how to increase traffic.

I've taken the approach of keeping things simple, opposed to having a massive, long page. I figure that if the page is small, it will be easier to direct traffic. Thats why my top20 referrers are shown in 4 places.

In a couple of weeks I want to start work on the site again and try to regain the traffic I once had. The question is, what is the best way to approach this?

Should I keep the same layout - or should I change things? If so - any suggestions as to what people think would work well. I don't use thumbnails anymore, mainly for bandwidth reasons - but if people think it will increase traffic then I have no objection to bringing them back... its just I didn't notice a decrease when I removed them.

Any suggestions are much appreciated http://bbs.adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/smile.gif

I love your site Battuss! I bet you have good signup ratios, eh?

[PornoWill]

By the way, I am thinking of starting a no nude site myself. Only girls in bikini, nothing else... I have already found a killer available domain for it.

Yeah the signups are pretty good, with nonnude traffic.

PornoWill, talk to Toker about this, he is getting involved in some non-nude content production i think.

Mike Jeffs, you might want to remove the link that says 13-18 teens http://bbs.adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/mad.gif

Yes, I talked to him the other day about it. He convinced me this is very profitable. http://bbs.adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/smile.gif I for one like softcore/no nude much better than the everyday hardcore, so I don't get why I haven't thought of it before.

Hi guys http://bbs.adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/smile.gif

Richard: I noticed that link today... I'm not sure exactly how thats come about - but as far as I know I've never linked that site. I had some script problems yesterday and a lot of my urls got corrupted. I'm switching to TrackYourStats tommorow so all shall be fixed then.

Either that or someone wants some Britney traffic to their Val Kilmer site http://bbs.adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/smile.gif

When you mentioned it... I think my site is hacked... On two occasions links I've never seen before has been placed on the linktrade part of my site... Ebonybabes.com and another site I can't remember... Strange indeed... The two sites never gave me any traffic and I only place links to sites that send good traffic where they were + I can't remember to even have visited those sites.

[MikeJeffs]

I think in this case its something wrong on my end. My links on that site are all automated with a top referrers script. The data files all got corrupted yesterday and I thought I'd fixed them tonight.

That link in question has a linktracker.com redirect on it - probably the number at the end got cut short... anyway, Its 3am here.. I'm going to sleep http://bbs.adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/smile.gif

thanks,
Mike
