I joined the adult industry at least 5 years too late and perhaps made a mistake by opening with a TGP site about 10 years too late (Sluthaven-dot-com = my first adult site built)

I was aware that it wasn't going to be easy and that if I was going to have a mildly successful TGP site, I would need to pull about 10-15k visitors a day... I was aware that the big tits niche was saturated... I was aware that without spending any money towards it (with the exception of scripts I needed to run the site) my layout was going to be mediocre at best, but I just feel like there is something I could be doing as far as SEO to at least get some traffic here and there from search phrases but I'm not getting it and I can't spend cash on feeder traffic forever (currently using Traffic Holder which is probably not ideal but it's the only site I know of)

I am just beginning to read into SEO and have come to understand success on Google is popularity through hard links (ideally from ranked sites), but how? Last night I added my site to free link dumps as an experiment but I'm a little paranoid about these being spam sites and ultimately doing more bad for me than good... but if I want quality hard links I would have to pay and surely not all of you have emptied out their wallets just to get traffic. Is it a matter of optimizing my site a certain way? I have descriptions... I have a link to a page that dumps a text description link to every single gallery on the site... or do I have to wait for my site to age a bit and open up a network of 20+ niche TGP's to have any chance in hell (by that time TGP's should be 100% obsolete)

One strategy I'm using is opening up a few blogs with minimum 10 posts on each and then through them promoting Slut Haven and my other projects

Any tips here would be awesome and they would help me with other brand new projects in my queue,

Because I understand Tube sites are running the show now, my second major project is going to be Mobipornotube-dot-com which the one I have a little bit of hope for even though there is hardly anything there yet... I have also registered a fetish niche blog site that I'm going to start working on soon

Should I just take my losses on Sluthaven-dot-com and focus on developing Mobipornotube-dot-come and my fetish niche site instead?

It's almost embarrassing to post here because I've been reading threads posted by web masters that run sites I grew up going to... but we all start somewhere?

Thanks everyone
