As most of you know, i have started a new site, called 'Swag Clothing' and i am currently in the process of getting it off to a good start, and I have a few issues that i am sure some of you can help me out, with 
- For Ads, What is the best? Text or Image/Rich Media/Text? I have looked around the web and there to many back and forths, and i would rather here from real webmasters, like yourselves!
- For 'Content Lockers' i was going to use Social Locker, because it makes it so the user(s) can't view the content till they +1, Tweet, or Like it. What i want to do is, instead of 'Locking' the content, i'd rather have it so i upload a .ZIP of the HiRes images and in order to look at them, you need to +1, Tweet, or Like it so the archive is viewable. I optimize each image for the web, so they are never truely the HighRes photos.
- For Content, Currently i am using the 'News' of top tier brands, and a few RSS feeds of Style and Fashion blogs around Hip Hop, etc for the 'Swag'. What i want to know is, what else can i do? I'm coming Warez into this (which i like more) and am still learning what to post. I write every article myself, using "Quotes" from the people who make the items.
- For Monetizing, i see a lot of people argue back and forth about Amazon, eBay, ___ etc and what i want to know, since i am running a Fashion blog, could i potentially use the affiliate service of either and link the apparel which the person whom im blogging about is wearing? Thus creating a Click-Through because the user will want to see what the apparel looks like and sells for, correct?
- For Link Exchanging, where would i go to promote my site, to potentially get some Backlinks from other sites through a Blogroll, etc; To increase my PR and Alexa Rank?
- For Traffic Sources, is it worth really using these '3 Tier Programs' and 'Get 1000 Organic Traffic' or 'Trade money for traffic' Etc. I don't know much about these at all, and i don't want to 'Fake' a PR, or anything else.
