A few notes on your site (although this is kinda moot since Todd is going to redesign things for ya) - I like the rotating pics on the second page. I agree with the fuzzy buttons - they're hard to read and distracting.
Traffic leaks! The biggest thing I see about amateur sites is that they become an online amateur before they become an adult webmaster - and by doing so, they fall into the "common thought" trap that in order to be successful you have to have traffic leaking recips all over your tour. Not so! (You're also leaking hard-earned traffic that your affiliates are sending to you.)
Make mirrors of your pages and put the recips on *those* instead.
The idea behind this - you have worked hard for your traffic (or your affiliate has worked hard to send you traffic). The surfer coming to your front page is there because he is interested in YOU specifically - do NOT give him the choice of seeing some other amateur - or in the case of a search engine newbie porn surfer, even *knowing* that other amateurs exist!
You want their ONLY choices to be to continue going through your site and signup, or leave. Don't leak them away on the cool-looking "ASS Approved" button or any of the other typical amateur leaks.
These recips STEAL your traffic!
Make a mirror of your site in another folder, and use IT for all of the recips. Anyone coming *from* one of these recips already knows that there are other amateurs out there and he is browsing the buffet table to find one he likes. If he hits your site and you're not the type of girl he's looking for tonight, then he will actually LOOK for those recips to go back into the menu and try to find another girl... in which case you can trade him for another surfer who might come to check you out and fall in love.
If a surfer comes straight to your site, grab him by the balls and don't let go. Give him no choice but to focus on YOU - not some cool-looking graphics that promise hundreds of amateurs to choose from.
You're running a paysite, not a free traffic pump. If you must, pop a recip page on the surfer *after* he has decided not to join your site and not accepted your last-chance offer - but ONLY after he's absolutely certain he's leaving!
Be fair to yourself and fair to your affiliates - make a clean tour.
See what I'm saying?

Thank you for the info, Carrie, I WILL take it to heart! I thought I was being clever making the "ASS APPROVED" button go straight to my review
LOL
