Top Adult Affiliate Networks
CrakRevenue
Is one of the top adult affiliate networks available, they have over 1200 offers of any kind and niche.
They are offering any kind of payout the only bad thing is that they don’t have a lot of solutions for the payments.
You can also read their 101 guides and my guide on how to get approved with CrakRevenue.
Adverten
Adverten is the top choice when it comes to adult dating smart links! They will give you one link only that will rotate to the best converting offer for any country.
Most of the offers are SOI and DOI and they will pay you up to $14 per lead based on the GEOS. Weekly payments and many payment choices! You can read my guide on how to get approved with Adverten.
AWempire
AWempire is a well-known adult affiliate network and there are many offers you can promote your adult media buying campaign. Live Jasmin, for instance, comes from here.
The only thing that is not good is that they only have Paxum for the payout.
PaySale
PaySale is very similar to Adverten, but on top of the high-converting SmartLink and weekly payments, there are also a lot of awesome offers for any country.
They have to date and cam offers even for less known countries like Eritrea, Namibia, etc…
Cummission
Cummission is an adult affiliate network that will give you offers like fuckbook.com.
You will get nice payouts and they will pay you PPS or Revshare. FuckBook is one of the best dating sites you can promote and if you start to have some experience you can run profitable adult media buying campaigns for this offer.
ogAds
ogAds is a cutting-edge affiliate network that is more focused on mobile and content lockers.
I am not a big expert on them but there are people on Blackhat world making a lot of money by using social media like Snapchat.
Prelinker
Prelinker is another adult CPA network that has high payouts and dating offers mainly in Europe. They are very focused on Switzerland, France, and Italy.
There are many other networks to work for but if you get overwhelmed you will not make money.
Start making an account with each of these adult affiliate networks above and once you are approved fill in your data and payout method so we can pass to the spicy part where you will buy traffic.
Top Adult Media Buying Traffic Sources
TrafficJunky
TrafficJunky is working with the biggest porn guys like Pornhub and tube8. You will be able to place ads on a website with over 5 million views a day.
Of course, this is one of the best traffic sources to do some adult media buying but it is also expensive and with a lot of competition.
It works only on a CPC model.
JuicyAds
JuicyAds is cheaper compared to traffic junky, you will be able to run campaigns on famous websites and place ads for weeks or months on many websites.
I like traffic junky because with 30$ a week sometimes you can place an ad with no click limits and you can potentially make a lot of money.
PlugRush
With Plugrush, you will be able to buy and sell traffic. The adult affiliate platform is very nice and you can place ads all over the internet with a nice ROI.
I like Plugrush and recommend it to anyone to uses it.
ExoClick
Exoclick is the second big guy after Trafficjunky. These guys own ad space on websites like xVideos and Chaturbate.
You will be able to place your ads on websites that have so much traffic that you can not even think about.
TrafficStars
TrafficStars have one of the coolest platforms and they have great support according to me they are selling less known traffic but in my experience, it converts a lot as well.
I would A/B test Trafficstars and Trafficjunky.
TrafficFactory
TrafficFactory is working with xnxx.com and xVideos as well. This is another big adult traffic guy but the platform is less nice looking compared to trafficstars and trafficjunky.
They are also very strict with the dimensions of the ad and they don’t even have many dimensions available. But still, they are running too big sites.
Double Pimp
Double Pimp is less advertised and not a lot of people know them since they don’t even have a website.
These guys are running traffic basically on any porn site on the internet. This is the most complete and powerful adult media buying network on the internet.
The minimum amount you can spend is $500 and this makes a lot of people scared. This is the network that everyone who wants to make serious money is using, but it is last on my list because it is very expensive and you need a big budget to see the big money.
A/B Split Test | Track | Optimize
Now that you have your adult affiliate network setup and your traffic sources accounts you need to create banners and landing pages.
The cheapest way to create awesome banners is with Photoshop or Canva. Of course, you need to be a bit skilled with photoshop but you can make the best banners ever with it.
If you are facing some problems creating banners with Photoshop I would try to outsource this job to some guy on Fiverr for $5. Otherwise, you can use services like 20dollarsbanner or many others.
In your traffic sources account, you will be able to find all the banner sizes accepted for each network. In the picture below we can see the ones available for Pornhub with trafficjunky.
Once your banners are all nice looking and attractive you need to place them via your traffic sources.
You need to have many banners and track all the clicks with a tracker like Voluum.
You will also need landing pages to collect people’s emails or to redirect them to a page where you can warm them up.
The best way to create a landing page is via clickfunnels or leadpages, these services are not free, but with a cheap monthly membership, you will have access to features that will pay back pretty soon.
How to A/B Test properly
The cheatsheet of a profitable campaign is to optimize your creatives depending on the traffic source and offers.
To make a lot of money you will need to spend a lot of money! For instance, I know about people spending on average $5000 a day on adult media buying and making $10.000 a day or more with it so $5000 of profit a day.
Of course, you don’t want just to create the best creatives in the world and blow $5000 a day on a single offer on a single traffic source with one single creative.
The smart media buyer is usually doing this:
- find a cool offer.
- trying to figure out who’s the one who can buy or is interested in that offer.
- create banners matching the persona mindset discovered before.
- start with a $50-$100 budget and A/b test many creatives, and offers on many traffic sources.
- track everything with Voluum.
- Optimize.
- Repeat.
You will need to identify who’s gonna buy or put their email for that offer. If you are trying to promote BBW girls in Norway, you don’t want to create an ad with a hot Norwegian chick.
Also, you will need to have many creatives and rotate them to see which one gets more clicks and conversions.
Once you have figured out which one gets more conversion you want to create more banners similar to that one and always try to be innovative and aim to become viral.
Glossary
TIER ⇒ If you run offers with traffic from TIER1 countries your payout will be higher compared to TIER2 countries. TIER1 countries in the adult space are usually Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Australia, USA. Of course the higher the payout is the higher the competition it is as well. I suggest you start with TIER2-3 countries because paid traffic is usually cheaper there and you can start experimenting.
PAYOUTS ⇒ SOI – DOI – PPS – RevShare | Respectively means SOI ( single opt int – no email verification needed to get cash), DOI (double opt-in – email verification needed), PPS (pay per sign-up – they have to pay something to get cash), Revshare ( you will get paid a percentage of the total sale for a lifetime).
