Do you even know wtf you're talking about? Your site is loaded with crap and you're not using any compression on files like CSS or JS. This is 122k which is insane for an 88x31. http://www.thewebtower.com/images/banner.gif In 3 minutes I made it 16 color and it's now 55k. http://image-host.com/images/w8c21hhygpa4vbz2sf1j.gif http://www.websiteoptimization.com/services/analyze/ Another one from your 29k to just 4k: http://image-host.com/images/ddwa6jf0zlkqvlko2xro.jpg You have real problems. I estimate you could cut your page size down to 1/3rd or less. Whoever is making your images sucks.
Download PageSpeed and solve the biggest issues. You also have problems with duplicate content: Your forum can be accessed via 4 different URLs ("http://manlystuff.com/forum/" + "http://manlystuff.com/forum/index.php" + "http://www.manlystuff.com/forum/" + "http://www.manlystuff.com/forum/index.php"). That's really bad SEO-wise. Should be solved with mod_rewrite...
Easier yes, but even Matt Cutts from Google said 301 is to prefer and most knowledge people at SEO boards agree.
How about getting a "manly" dedicated server instead of a virtual one? Additional costs but far better performance. While doing so, try lighttp instead of Apache server. Also, you can cut down the number of Javascripts inside your page as they take forever to load. If you try removing all the ads you'll notice a nice speed boost (just as a test of course) Regarding the images, host them somewhere else outside your site to improve the loading time. I use imageshack.us as they allow the direct link of images and noticed a nice performance improvement (their servers are fast).
