Success in traffic arbitrage largely depends on the ability to make the right choice. An unsuccessful
creative can be replaced in a few clicks; it is more difficult to quickly select a new ad network.
Therefore, the choice of a traffic source should be thought out thoroughly.
In this article, we will consider five major sources of adult traffic. To collect material, we studied the
advertisers' reviews, analyzed the site of each of the networks and communicated with the support.
We paid attention to the functionality and ease of working with the platforms. In the article you will
find information about the minimum deposit, ways to top up your balance and additional functions
for detailed targeting and campaign optimization. Let's take a look at the features of each network so
that everyone can find the right one.
Twinred
One of the largest players in the adult vertical. On the market for over 10 years. Recently rebranded,
you may know this network as Double Pimp or Double Impact.
Be prepared for serious moderation, you need to carefully check your ads for compliance with
network rules. The approval takes up to 2 hours on weekdays and up to a day on weekends.
Topping up your balance is possible by bank transfer (minimum deposit $ 500) or via Paxum
(minimum deposit $ 100). You can discuss payments via Paypal.
Basic formats: pop-under, push, native, interstitials, banners, video pre-rolls. Interstitials and native
ads are currently the best alternative to pop-unders, as they do not violate the updated Google
policy.
Features: Twinred offers users a feature of cross-market retargeting or behavioral retargeting using
multiple channels. Two tracking pixels are used to collect information about the user. So the user will
surely see your ad, albeit on an adult site.
It is also worth noting the prompt technical support in Skype and the internal anti-fraud system. The
company closely monitors publishers' work and traffic quality. However, not all geos have large
volumes of traffic, on average less than other networks.
Exoclick
This ad network has the largest traffic volumes - over 7 billion impressions per day. The company has
been on the market for 15 years, offers large verticals and a wide range of advertising formats.

up their balance via WebMoney.

detailed integration manuals. Built-in tools to automatically optimize campaigns and bypass ad
blockers.

Those who spend more than $ 100,000 a year on ExoClick and follow all the rules of the network are
given access to traffic from xvideos.com - for 2021 this resource is considered the most popular adult
site in the world.
Plugrush
One account allows you to both buy and sell traffic on the platform.
You can create black and white lists that will allow you to target a very narrow audience: for
example, by IP addresses or a combination of a geo and a mobile operator. There are advanced
settings for automatic optimization: create a list of rules and the system itself will change the bid, cut
off unnecessary traffic, or, on the contrary, will remove the volume limitation from a well-converting
source. Also, a built-in anti-fraud system monitors the purity of your traffic and filters bots and other
fraudulent traffic.
Balance top up via Webmoney, Paypal, Paxum, bank transfer, transfer from a card through an online
system. In all cases, the minimum amount depends on the transfer method and ranges from $ 10 to
$ 500.
Features: Fast approval of campaigns, usually about 1 hour. There is a 5% RevShare referral program
for the earnings of attracted publishers or the spend of advertisers. Live Skype support. It should be
noted that the network offers few ad formats (native, banners, push, pop-under).
TrafficJunky
The Canadian company has been operating since 2008. They deliver traffic from the largest adult
sites including PornHub, RedTube, YouPorn, Tube8. Daily traffic volume is approaching 5 billion
views.
The company takes security very seriously: Brand Protection based on RiskIQ protects client data
from viruses and hacker attacks. This system also makes sure that affiliates follow the rules of the
sites where their ads are running.
Targeting includes all common options, as well as geo accurate to the city, targeting by time of day,
keywords, sexual orientation.
Most of the inventory is made up of banners, there are also pre-rolls and pop-unders, but the
purchase of pops must be coordinated with technical support.
You can top up your balance via PayPal, Paxum, bank transfer or from a credit card. The minimum
payment ranges from $ 25 to $ 100. There is a daily spend limit of $ 250, it may be higher if the
account manager allows.
Features: you can see the average statistics on the targets and bids of platform users in your account.
The data is updated daily and allows you to always be aware of the demand for specific spots.
Affiliates with proven ad quality can use iFrame.
Trafficstars
Network from Barcelona. In addition to the large volume and quality of traffic, the network stands
out for the presence of exclusive sources such as xHamster. There is support for API and RTB.
The inventory contains most of the popular formats: native ads, pre-rolls, interstitials, push, pop-
under, banners.
Available payment models include CPM, CPC, DCPM (Dynamic CPM), and CPMV (Cost per Mille
Viewable ads). With DCPM, you set a maximum bid and let the algorithm adjust it based on the
demand for the spot. So you buy traffic at the best price, without risking spending more than
planned. CPMV is the cost per thousand confirmed impressions that were definitely not blocked by
AdBlock.
Balance top up methods: PayPal ($ 100– $ 1000), Paxum (from $ 100), credit card (from $ 100) or
bank transfer (from $ 500). The campaign has a minimum spend of $ 10 per day.
The minimum CPM bid is set, this value depends on the geo and format of the ad. The system also
displays Top CPM, it depends on the demand for specific spots. Trafficstars advise you to focus on
this figure and set a bid 10% higher than the Top CPM in order to get the first impressions in the
spot.
Features: It is possible to select RON traffic - all available spots for the selected format, or PRIME
traffic - specific sites and spots. Among the shortcomings, we can note the approval of about 2 hours
and the ban on iFrame.
The list of adult networks, of course, is much wider. Our article presents companies that have been
on the market for more than 7 years. To create the collection, we relied on the opinion of major
advertisers. However, we want to remind you that positive reviews and recommendations cannot
guarantee the success of your campaigns. In traffic arbitrage, you can only rely on your experience
and tests.
