I'm from out of the US but if i'd link to the source it should be ok, no? Even big news sites do that without a link.

Regarding the newsletter, it was something i just started a while ago, try and get a fan base. I'm planning on changing it though.

In terms of converting users, i used to have some banners beneath and above the pics on each page and got squat out of it. So annoying.
I have some good organic traffic here and i feel like i'm missing out on some good sales. On some other sites of mine with much less traffic i get some signups and lots of clicks but here nothing seems to work.

Just frustrated...
Just linking to where you got the images is not good enough. Big news sites either pay for the rights to use the images they have on their sites or they have deals in place with the sites that they use them from.

If you don't own the rights or have express permission to use them (IE sponsor provided content) you could find yourself in trouble. Since you are outside the US you might be harder for them to come after so they may not, but what could happen is that they find their images on your site and see no way to file a DMCA so they send one to your host who ends up shutting your site down. It may not happen, but it could. Some of the celeb image companies and various sites are very protective of their images.


As far as converting traffic goes, well, here is my opinion. The boob market is huge. Your site doesn't offer anything I can't get in 5 seconds on Google Images. There is no real focus. There is nude amateurs, celebs, pornstars etc. There are big boob, small boobs, medium, natural, fake, you name it. You might find yourself having better luck if you pick one narrow section of the market and focus on it. Say, for example, small boobs. There are tons of guys out there that love girls with small boobs (or big boobs or natural boobs) etc. Focus on providing an experience I can't easily get anywhere. You may end up with less traffic, but it likely will be more valuable.
