A little over a year ago I was moving from my home to a new place across town. I'd been out of running adult sites for about two years, and I couldn't take not working on something, but my experience adult left me.... A tiny bit broker than I had hoped to be when the last site was sold. TGPs went from thousands of hits daily to a few hundred, I'd been working with a girl to build her a solo site, but I was thinking with my wallet and not my brain.... I ended up paying her

thousands for tons of content and the unrestricted rights of ownership so that I could make all the money.... And the TGPs were helping make that happen.

But in the end, I knew I had fucked myself. Tubes came and fucked up a lot of peoples days... lol. Shitty of me, I saw the writing on the wall at least as far as my business was concerned. Pay her for videos, one paying customer later they're all on a tube. I said to hell with it, found a brave young webmaster and was able to sell him all the content for about a thousand less than I paid.

So I didn't totally fuck myself. I did kinda fuck him though... Another story for another day.

Anyway, during the move I discovered that my new neighbors were total fucking assholes. Huge, bloody, unclean assholes. Because of that I came up with a pretty nifty idea to build a site that allows users to log in and build a database of all the places they've lived, the neighbors, etc... Because if that site had existed before I moved... I wouldn't have moved right next to asshole central.

So I built the site. It took too damn long to do..... And I'm not fully happy with the search functions but everything else seems fine and the site operates at about 90% of what I had hoped it would. All in all, not too bad.

But I'm at a new crossroad now. Just last night I finished my work on the site and it's been live for a few hours.

I'm embarrassed to say this... I don't know what to do next. I know SEO is a must but I've been out of the game long enough that I know what I knew about SEO is likely stone age garbage now.

I've no clue how to advertise the site, or where. No ideas in bringing in users... I didn't think of any of this, at all.

I have a mind for porn, and people seek out porn. If you fail at at least bringing a steady stream of possible converting traffic to your porn site, you're really blowing it somewhere.

But mainstream is not porn, and I've got no clue what the hell to do now to bring in users.

So far... I've placed ads on CL in the housing section.

I plan to add FB 'like' or 'share' junk sometime soon....

I'm out of my element....

Any ideas for good mainstream advertising?
