As you probably know, a good SEO campaign starts with long-term strategies which are supported by a variety of tactics, depending on the desired outcome. But many people refer to a SEO campaign when they mean something else, for example link building using a variety of techniques. So I just want to clarify whether you meant you have someone handling all SEO-related needs for you now, or if they're just providing some specific services. Because there are plenty of people happy to provide a tactical service, with very little regard to the effect on long-term strategy.

If your SEO person/company didn't begin with your on-page SEO and is just arranging inbound links for you, then you may be getting yourself in trouble. Right now the meta tags that repeat on every page and that big block of spammy text in the footer of every page on the site are going to hurt your ability to rank well. And if your SEO work is being done in the same fashion, by which I mean building links which are also too tightly focused on those few keywords, that will hurt you too.

Aside from the SEO attention the site needs, the user-satisfaction level would also need some improvement in order to lower your bounce rate and raise time on site/time on page, percentage of returning visitors, and various other metrics used to determine where your site should be in the SERPs.

Of course, even if you get everything right, that's no guarantee you'll get enough traffic to make much money from the site. With the tube site model you need a LOT of traffic just to skim the few signups you'll get from surfers looking for free porn. Unfortunately you're not going to get a lot of traffic from any of the relatively free methods talked about on these boards. And sending paid traffic to your site before it's really ready for that would just be burning money. You mentioned you send paid traffic to dating offers, so think of it like sending traffic to a bad landing page. High bounce rate, low time on page, little or no conversions.

Give some thought to how much revenue you need this site to generate to make it worth your time to work on it. If you want it to be more than just some extra pocket cash, you'll have to invest many thousands of dollars in all of the things necessary to own a well-designed, well-run, and very profitable tube site. If you don't want to invest a lot of time and money into this, then you may want to think of other ways to spend your time which will give you a better return.

I see people opening "new tube sites" every day. Most of them have no idea how to generate the huge amount of traffic needed to make a tube site really profitable. Big tube sites make a lot of money. Small tube sites make very little in comparison. Trying to get big in 2014 takes a lot of very specific knowledge, good connections with the right people in the business, and a big budget. If you don't have at least two of those things, it's going to be very hard to do.

I don't mean to just throw cold water on your ideas. If you're determined to do something and willing to work hard it's sometimes possible to beat the odds. But it's important to know the odds are against you before deciding to place your bet.
