Traffic

It's a fact of life - your sites need traffic! And it's not often a case of "...if you build it, they will come...". You have several options ranging from search engine tactics to purchasing ad space or just straight clicks.

Personally, I've found Traffic Holder to be one of the best adult traffic providers around. Their system is sophisticated, yet simple to use. You can choose traffic by location, niche, and site (referer). This allows you to be pretty sure that the traffic you're getting will be of some use to you.

This traffic is all clicked traffic, meaning that a surfer must click on a text or image link to get to your site. This is vastly better than pop-up/under traffic which a lot of traffic providers offer. They also make a great effort to detect click fraud, which is also better for your bottom line.

Price-wise it's not too expensive - especially when you compare it to PPC search engine traffic. The bottom line is these guys are not fly-by-nighters and are recommended by a lot of webmasters.

Speaking of money, you can also sell traffic from your site. Basically you set up a link into their site and they distribute it to a buyer. You get paid a commission per click. This is a nice way to monetize your partner lists.

So that's Traffic Holder in a nutshell. Head over to their site and register so you can see how it all works. It's free to register.

Hosting

Your choice of host is very important. Of course, if you're running a business your suppliers must be reliable. Now there is no shortage of good web hosts around but a lot of them explicitly prohibit adult content on their servers. On my own investigations I found that a good all-round choice is DreamHost.
