What it really boils down to is defining what you are attempting to create. If you are building a site that has a bunch of stuff to offer people and you are just going to dump some traffic on it and hope they find something they like and buy than it isn't bad. If you are trying to build a site where you will get regular return visitors you have a ways to go.
Assuming it is the second option and you are trying to get returning visitors and build up traffic you have to ask yourself this main question: What value does my site offer the surfer?
The answer to that will solve all of your problems. First look at your competition. Why do some big sites like Al4A and Shemp and The Hun continue to have large amounts of traffic and return visitors day after day? Sure some of them have big traffic trades going, but they had to get that traffic before they could trade it. Most of those sites are very clean, easy to navigate and offer the surfer some high value.
If you are going to pick three niches only, that is fine. But pick three niches that are somewhat similar or would attract people with similar interest. If you want to do anime, I suggest starting a site for just that and focus on that. If you want to do lesbians then maybe also do teens and babes or amateurs. Guys looking for lesbians might be interested in babes/models, solo girls and amateurs. They are less likely to be interested in anime or bondage. Or, as others have said, do all the niches and cover everything.
Once you have gotten what niche or niches you want to work in you need to streamline the site. I has to load fast. No excuses. If it is the host, change hosts. If it the cams, dump them. If it is the ads, thumbs whatever then fix them or dump them. Remember you have to convince every visitor that comes to your site to stay there and to come back there and to hopefully tell their friends about it. If the site takes too long to load, they hit their back button and move on. If you can't offer the same quality of content or the same/similar experience as your competition, the visitors leave and never come back.
I would suggest taking a couple of days and surfing the big TGPs out there. See what they do well. See how they are laid out and what the offer the visitor then use what you learn to modify your site.
If it were me I would start with the following.
1. get a new domain. Get something that is catchy and easy to remember. Anyone can remember shemp or thehun.com or worldsex.com. Remembering chuckyspornshack1.com will be a challenge for some people.
2. make the thumbs bigger. Make them nice and clean and clear.
3. Let the visitor know if the gallery is a picture or movie gallery. I would even separate them into different areas on the site.
4. Focus on a couple of like niches and do them very well. Work hard at becoming the best site around for those niches.
5. Dump about 80% of the ads. work first on getting traffic up. If you are using FHG's you can get paid through signups from there too so you don't need to flood the site with a ton of ads that do nothing but slow the site down. Focus those ads on your niches as well.
6. Define a traffic plan. Decide if you want to build traffic organically and just use the search engines and let people find the site or if you want to trade traffic through a toplist on your site or if you want to put a script on it that skims the site and trades traffic that way. Once you make your decision focus most of your efforts on getting more traffic. Even consider buying some traffic and maybe build galleries and other sites to get you traffic. The traffic is where you will make your money so most of your efforts should be going into getting it.
Anyway, these are just a few thoughts I had. Hopefully they didn't sound too harsh and you can find some helpful stuff in it. Growing a TGP is very time consuming and difficult thing to do. It can pay off in the end, but it isn't easy.
