The science of getting traffic online has two main sectors. Buy it or get it free. Buying it is too expensive for most in online porn because their product isn't good enough. Or they're start up and can't afford it.

Free needs skills and a lot of hard work. SEO is a skill highly prized, the top guys want paying for it and I know nothing about SEO. The hard work element always struck me as too much work for too little money. Unless they own a site like The Hun.

The Hun proves my point that all the webmaster bullshit being thrown out here stops the moment a surfer lands on a site. He likes it or doesn't. He stays and takes in what's before him or he leaves.

AK puts it beautifully.

We'll be monetizing via the ads
And when the surfer lands on the site he will be expecting it to be great. If he's not immediately impressed he's off. If you don't deliver what he wants, he's not coming back.

All ads will be to affiliate offers of our choosing - eventually contextually chosen according to search intent.
Which in layman's terms means the site that converts the best.

There nothing else you can do. Your "Internet is different " bullshit flies out the window. It's a human with human traits and desires. You deliver the goods or he goes.
