TGP traffic, while not of the highest quality is fairly easy to get. SE traffic is good, but takes a little longer. I know this will probably bring a few flames, but the best voerall traffic is mailer traffic, especially double opt-in. basically, the less times a surfer has to click, the more likely he/she is to buy.
Learn to target your traffic and learn how to sell your product. If you can't sell your sponosr, the amount of traffic you get means little more than dick.
Here's a little tip for optimizing the most $ from your TGP/LL traffic: put an email collection box on your galleries (not one of those email programs, but build your own double opt-in email list). Keep the spam to a minimum and make your advertising exciting enough for your double opt-in subscribers to look forward to recieving your emails. You'll manage to produce higher quality traffic and loyal buyers. Then, once you've emailed the list a few times, instead of trdinf/selling/renting your list, mail it yourself for other people. This way you maintain control over the list and it keeps the people you sell the list to from selling it on and on and on.
Even for double opt-in lists, you should use a bounce page for the mailers and don't email your affiliate links directly. The reason is, even the best double opt-in list will draw a couple complaints (mainly from people who forgot they opted in). This will help avoid problems with these folks and keep heat away from your host.
