There are many ways to get free traffic for your porn site. Many of the common paid ways are unavailable: Google Ads, Facebook Ads, and Twitter Ads all does not allow advertising for porn sites so we got to use alternative ways. Luckily there are several ways to get free traffic for your sites, and all of these methods require skill and understanding instead of money.

#1 Search Engine Traffic – Targeted traffic from Google

The business of getting organic search engine traffic is called SEO. Short for search engine optimization. Porn sites have a couple of advantages when it comes to this kind of traffic. For one, the amount of porn-related searches in Google and other search engines is huge. And also, because of the fact that porn-related search engine results do not show ads.

The ads part seems to be not 100% true anymore as some adult related searches now show ads.

Tools for SEO – A little help for getting more search engine traffic?

You can do your own research with the free Google tools. However paying for a premium SEO tool like SEMRush, I believe can be really useful in addition to the free options.

• Google Trends – Check out how many searches specific keywords and search phrases gets in different countries and states. You can go back over 10 years to 2004.
• Google Search Console – Essential free tool to track what keywords you rank for in Google and also a tool that will notify you in the tool and by e-mail if errors that can hurt your SEO is discovered.
• SEMRush – SEMRush is a huge software as a service product with technical audits, backlink and position tracking, competitor research and more. I’ve used SEMRush for a pretty long time now and find it really useful.

A few tips for getting search engine traffic

Creating unique and useful descriptions for your videos as well as categorizing them with the right niches can be beneficial to SEO. Writing descriptive and unique (no copy/paste) titles for your web pages is maybe more important. Many porn sites and especially tube sites often gather their videos from other top tube sites and do not actually offer anything unique when it comes to content for the search engines to rank.

If you add content to your website by importing from other sites without changing it I would suggest making the content around the videos the unique part. You could also make the selection and ranking of the videos unique, and therefore unique to your site giving it value in the perception of the search engine and their visitors.

For photos, you can also add descriptive ALT tags, which will help the search engine robots know more about your photo and when to show it to surfers. I would suggest adding unique ALT tags to each photo, or at least to some of the photos in your galleries.

Building links for your websites

Besides describing the content on your sites well, having links from other websites pointing to your site can help you boost traffic. Having links from similar sites as yours (that also, in turn, also has links pointing to them) can be a great way to show the search engines that your websites are trusted, relevant and they might rank you higher because of it.

I believe getting a couple of relevant links for your websites should be a top priority regarding SEO.

If you have friends in this business you could ask them for link trades, else you would need to do outreach and email and ask similar sites like yours.

Hire professionals to build you more links

Check out The Hoth SEO company for white hat link building services. While not all of their SEO services are available for adult sites, they do state on their website that some are. This includes 2 different link building services. Blitz for powerful homepage sidebar links starting at $50 each link, and Foundations with in-content links starting at $60 for 6 links.

Be advised that paying for links directly could get your website penalized and receive less SEO traffic.

Paying for SEO professionals to do outreach instead with the goal of getting free links is the white hat, non-risky, method.

#2 Referral Traffic – Similar sites as yours

If you contact other webmasters and site owners you can get them to place links and banners for your website in exchange for you doing the same. Note that if your sites are new and not having a lot of traffic at the moment you would need to find sites of similar popularity to make the deal attractive for both parties. You can use a free Chrome plugin like the Alexa traffic rank tool to check how popular a site is. The lower the rank the more traffic the site presumably gets.

The most important thing for getting referral traffic is probably that you contact sites with the same porn niches as your sites, both for getting relevant traffic and it could also benefit your SEO efforts.

#3 Picture Pin Traffic – Sex.com

Popular sites nowadays. Simply create a free account and get started posting some of the best porn pictures and gifs from your site. I have only tried out Sex.com and it works and gets me some traffic.

#4 Blogging Traffic – Start a blog and write content regularly

You can get a lot of traffic from simple blog posts which only contains an image and a link to your site. You can start a blog easily by installing WordPress for a domain you own on your web hosting account. Check out our Porn Theme #2 for a blog theme suitable for adult content blogs.

#5 Social Media Traffic – Twitter & Reddit

Create a Twitter account and update it with new content you publish to your porn site. I like to add a @pornstar_name to the featured porn stars in the picture or video, a link to the content and a picture from the content to get attention and add more value to the tweet. To start gaining followers on Twitter you can add a twitter logo image with a link to your account at your websites. To keep it simple I use one Twitter account for several websites. Gaining followers is important to get likes and retweets and get your tweets featured in the “Top” section which requires your tweets to be liked/retweeted.

Reddit does also allow adult xxx content and I believe you can use it to generate a lot of traffic if you are familiar with it. I have not used Reddit myself though.

How to succeed with these methods?

All of these methods require skill to get the most visitors. One tip that I can give without being a guru myself is to be a little careful when adding promotional content, social media posts, backlinks from other similar sites or even content to your own sites. I would suggest against spamming any of these channels for trying to speed up your results. If you are working at it regularly over time instead, and are a little patient, as well as providing decent quality work whatever methods you work with I believe you have the best chance for long term success of generating as much of a steady stream of free website traffic as possible.
