Adult Ad Networks 
TwinRed I’ve spent my fair share of time on the internet trying to earn a living from adult entertainment, so these days, I know exactly what types of services I need when I look to run ad campaigns or monetize my traffic. Even though I know what my needs are, I’ve still had issues finding an ad network that fulfills all of my needs and is relatively easy to use. Most sites offer bits and pieces of what I need to earn an honest living from online adult content, which is why I’ve been constantly on the lookout for ad networks to try out. Well, my search has come to a bit of a halt once I came across TwinRed. Not only were people praising the website, but it was also mentioned on many lists as one of the best choices for advertisers and publishers in the porn business.
Before making my account, I had to make sure of what I was getting myself into, and so my research began. The first thing I’ve noticed is that TwinRed was established back in 2007, which is a phenomenal start to my journey. Finding a trustworthy site that’s been in business for over a decade can be surprisingly difficult, so I was excited to see what made the website so great at satisfying users for such a long time. The second I found out that one of the site’s main appeals is allowing users to micro-manage every aspect of their ad campaigns and site monetization, I stopped reading through the site’s contents and headed straight to the registration page.
Back when I started earning from adult content online, creating an account on any website was quick and easy. All you needed was an e-mail address and a short password, but these days, sites require overly complicated passwords, two-factor authenticators, personal information, account recovery questions, and the list goes on. This personally infuriates me, and I know I’m not the only one who hates these horrendous registration methods. Once I landed on the registration page of TwinRed, I started to worry, considering how much information was required of me. Thankfully, things went by surprisingly smoothly even though I was required to put upper case letters, numbers, and symbols in my password.
Once I’d input all of my information and created my account, I was instructed to verify my e-mail, which I did in a matter of seconds. From then on, I thought I’d be able to start working, but instead of being met with the main page, I was greeted with a short questionnaire. This step is for those who are looking to become premium partners, and I’d highly recommend taking it as it really does lead you to the perfect tools you need, but you can skip it entirely. After a bit of scrolling and accepting the terms and conditions, I was finally led to the dashboard, and I was met with a ton of options straight off the bat.
I’ve had the pleasure of using many dashboards, and I was filled with joy the moment I saw what TwinRed had in store for me. The first thing you see is a small scrolling news feed, which I usually tend to ignore on most sites, but I was intrigued by it on TwinRed because most of the news was related to my area of expertise, pornographic content. Right below that, you’ll have your advertiser/publisher dashboard (depending on which you’ve chosen while creating your account), which looks sleek and simple but contains all of the information you need to start right away. Your current balance, number of active campaigns, MTD (Month to Date) spending and volume, and a bunch more information are intuitively located on the side of the graph that shows your activity in the last 30 days.
Not only is the dashboard sleek and easy to use, but other pages of TwinRed are just as intriguing to browse through and explore. I was most fascinated by the ad marketplace, which offers real-time competitive bidding. The summary report is where I spent a lot of time as it perfectly showcased what I have been doing right and what areas I needed to improve on. For instance, I could easily see the CTR (Click Through Rate), CPA (Cost Per Action), and CPC (Cost Per Click), the amount of money I’ve spent, conversions, and volume for a specific date range that I can change with the press of a button. With the precise user targeting from TwinRed, you are guaranteed to have your ads auctioned to sites that perfectly match your target audience, which is perfect for optimal reach and engagement.
So far, I’ve been mostly speaking from the advertiser’s POV, but it’s worth mentioning that TwinRed also offers a plethora of tools to publishers as well. If you’re trying to monetize your site, you won’t have to bow down to the advertisers and run any ads that come your way. Instead, you’re in charge of scrolling through the media dibs and seeing which ads are the best for the audience on your website and in which ad formats. If you’re a newbie and you need some help you won’t have to use the self-serving tools on your own as the site also gives access to a team of expert account managers. Feel free to contact them and ask away questions about advertising, publishing, or anything else you’re interested to know.
When it comes to making money, TwinRed uses CPC (Cost Per Click) and CPM (Cost Per 1K Impressions) bidding methods and the lowest amount you can deposit is $100. When choosing to cash out, you’ll have the option to pick one of these payment methods: Paxum, ACH, wire transfer, and PayPal. I always tend to go for PayPal because I’ve been using it for ages, and it’s quick and easy, but for it to be available, you’ll first have to verify your TwinRed account, which is easy enough.
So far, I’ve been thoroughly impressed by what TwinRed has to offer, which you’ve probably noticed by the way I kept praising it during this entire review. Even though I had a great time using the site, there are definitely some areas that I feel should be improved. If I were in the position of TwinRed, I’d invest a bit more money into creating a design and layout that would be suitable for newbies. Personally, I can use the most horrendous layouts, but I’ve definitely been on ad networks that do a phenomenal job at holding my hand throughout the entire process, so much so that I don’t even have to think.
Despite coming across a few hiccups I’d still highly recommend TwinRed to anyone who is looking to advertise or monetize their website. There aren’t many ad networks that focus on adult content, and out of all the ones I’ve used, TwinRed definitely impressed me with all of its tools and opportunities it offers. Whether you’re an advertiser or a publisher, new to ad networks, or an expert, I’d highly recommend checking out this website and using all of its tools to your advantage.
