Best Adult Ad Networks 2017


The internet is packed with reviews on the best adult ad networks. We wanted to cut through the noise with our own examination of the top 10 most popular networks for the adult niche, based on the aspects that directly impact the work of their publishers.
Our overview includes information like the CPM they pay, their types of offers, ad formats, fill rates, quality of support, minimum payouts as well as the frequency of their earnings.
We also tried to highlight the pros and cons of each adult ad network, based on our daily experience of working with them, and this is what we found.

Exoclick

Exoclick offers lower minimum payouts than some of its competitors and at a weekly frequency. There are plenty of ad options to choose from, with native advertising, instant messaging, in-stream and pre-video inventory acting as luxuries on top of regular offerings like banners and pop-unders.
Much like every network, Exoclick accepts desktop and mobile traffic via a CPM model and for those favouring a strong, well-rounded service, it’s a good place to start.
exoclick home
Pros:
  • The fill rate is almost 100% due to unsold inventory being used for performance campaigns
  • Accurate statistics
  • Probably the biggest range of inventory for adult traffic
  • A well-cleansed environment means the ads are safe to run
  • Weekly payments at a minimum of $20
  • Good CPM rates
  • Big publishers benefit from one-to-one management
  • Offer back URLs find a home for any traffic that goes unsold
Cons:
  • Email is the sole option for tech support
  • Low CPM rates for Asian geos
  • ExoClick is geared mainly towards adult websites (a pro and a con, depending on your specialism)

AdsTerra

AdsTerra can be seen as a good option when it comes to service and reliability. Unfortunately a dip into the waters looks off the cards, thanks to a hefty minimum payout of $100 delivered bi-weekly.
For those that do take the plunge, the network’s offering of push-ups, interstitials and a huge breadth of payment options (including wire transfer, PayPal, Bitcoin and Webmoney) helps to create a strong offering, but in the favour of publishers that really know how to earn.
Adsterra homepage
Pros:
  • All traffic is sold thanks to a fill rate of 100%
  • Skype is available as a customer support mechanism
  • AdsTerra has a self-serve dashboard for making manual adjustments to your campaigns
  • Above average rates of CPM across both mobile and desktop
Cons:
  • Stats from some Asian countries will have some discrepancies, according to our investigations
  • High minimum payouts vs. its competitors, delivered bi-weekly
  • CPMs are lower across tier-2 and tier-3 countries
  • Does not accept proxy traffic.

HilltopAds.com

HilltopAds is different to many of its competitors due to only dealing with pop-unders. Still, the company offers many of the trappings of a solid CPM network, including the acceptance of desktop and mobile traffic, a referral program offering a 5% commission boost for the referrer, and plenty of payment options for a minimum earning of $50, which is delivered weekly.

Pros:
  • All traffic is sold thanks to a 100% fill rate
  • High CPM rates, especially for mobile traffic
  • Skype is available as a customer support mechanism
  • Payouts are delivered weekly
Cons:
  • No self-service option means changes have to go through a member of staff
  • Pop-unders are the only ads allowed

TrafficForce.com

TrafficForce is another network which could be held back by some big minimum earnings and a lengthy wait to get paid.
That said, its offering of video and in-text ads could represent a benefit for certain publishers, while the self-service panel can alleviate the concerns brought on by a generally below-par level of support.

Pros:
  • High CPM offers for tier-1 countries
  • Offer back URLs find a home for any traffic that goes unsold
  • TrafficForce has a self-serve dashboard for making manual adjustments to your campaigns
Cons:
  • The platform has a clear preference for big and high-quality sites
  • No referral program
  • The minimum payout is $100 and can only be delivered monthly
  • Our investigations showed support to be slow
  • The network is big on quality, so any traffic that isn’t sold may require additional code for its distribution (super low fill-rate)

JuicyAds.com

Heading up the list of benefits for JuicyAds is a referral program offering a 20% commission boost for publishers that get others to sign up. This could be a key differentiating factor along with minimum payouts of $25, delivered on request.

Pros:
  • Strong rates of CPM in certain markets (Asia and Russia in particular)
  • Offer back URLs find a home for any traffic that goes unsold

  • Customer support delivered by email only
  • Non user-friendly admin panel, according to our tests

DoublePimp.com

DoublePimp is home to some of the highest CPMs in the adult niche. Those that aren’t put off by the lack of a referral program and range of ad types might see their interest piqued by a minimum payout of $50, with good payment options and a self-service function to boot.
doublepimp
Pros:
  • Offers some of the highest CPM rates in the adult niche
  • Self-service panel
Cons:
  • Our investigations found the support to be fairly slow
  • Publishers cannot take advantage of bonuses from a referral program
  • Pop-unders are the only ads allowed

Adnium.com

Providing the publisher can creep up to the minimum payout of $100 (available on request), Adnium could be a good route to the adult sector. The network has good CPMs, a referral program boasting the usual 5% commission top-up for referrals, although we did find it to be lacking in terms of support and an overly stringent set of rules.
Added to the cons were a lack of payment options, with Paxum or wire transfer the only functions available.
adnium homepage
Pros:
  • Above average CPM for banner ads
  • Adnium has a self-serve platform for making manual adjustments to your campaigns
Cons:
  • Adnium has stricter rules than most networks
  • Our investigations found the level of support to be very inconsistent
  • Publishers have to earn $100 before they’re entitled to a payout

Ero-Advertising.com

Ero-Advertising is headed up by a low minimum payout of €10, delivered weekly or monthly, strong CPMs in Europe, along with the availability of instant messenger functions in the ad types.
For those getting cosy with the service, a referral program offering a 10% commission boost awaits.

Cons:
  • Tier-2 and tier 3 countries are affected by lower rates of CPM
  • The Low fill-rate means you sometimes can’t sell all your traffic.

Clickadu.com

Clickadu is another good option for smaller sites looking for a steady network for entering the adult niche. The only obvious flaws are a minimum payout of $100, delivered bi-monthly, which combined with a generally low CPM may create issues.
clickadu homepage
Pros:
  • Smaller publishers can use Clickadu
  • Support is easy to find thanks to options for Skype and email
  • Above average fill rates
Cons:
  • Minimum payout of $100, offered bi-monthly

Reporo.com

Reporo is a mobile-only zone but does allow a reasonable breadth of ad types, including interstitials (fairly rare in the adult niche), pop-unders and banners.
Despite offering a good level of support, the lack of a self-service platform may create problems for those wishing to make constant changes.

  • Users cannot make manual changes to their campaigns due to the lack of a self-serve option
  • Less chance of a commission boost with no active referral program
