What are Adult Ad Networks?
Adult ad networks are specialized ad platforms with inventory on 18+ sites, video hosts, and webcam verticals. Category examples: ExoClick, TrafficJunky, JuicyAds, TwinRed, TrafficStars. Unlike mainstream cabinets (Meta, Google), they allow adult creatives, banner/pop/native on adult placements, and GEO-specific rates.
In arbitrage, adult networks are the main way to buy adult traffic for dating, cam, gambling (where allowed), sometimes nutra with careful creatives. Pricing: CPM, CPC, CPA per signup.
Traits
- Separate tracking domains and landings; do not mix with mainstream funnels.
- Age-gate, disclaimers, payment processor limits.
- High pop/banner volume at low CPM; variable quality vs. search.
Compliance
Advertisers must explicitly allow adult sources in IOs. Misleading creatives (fake video players) are policy violations. Reconcile CR in the tracker by zone_id.
