Adult Ad Spy, This Thing is The Tits

A few weeks ago I was talking to Jay from AdultAdSpy.com about running some ads on a few web properties of mine. He was telling me all about this great new Spy tool that he was working on, and to be honest I didn’t think too much of it. I know a few friends who are pretty involved in the Adult Space but I never thought it was something I would dabble in. I mean, lets be honest, who pays for porn with all those free websites out there.

Ironically enough at ASW a week ago I literally met dozens of guys who are running huge volume right now on adult ads. I was asking them what adult sites they were affiliates of…NONE, was the answer everyone gave me. It seems the big thing to push right now is ‘Adult Dating’.

What Is Adult Dating?

Well if you go to any adult site out there you are bound to see it. Tons of ads where ‘local’ women are looking to have casual sex with people. Are these sites for real?!? Beats me, sign up and find out! In the mean time here are some examples of ads for the ‘Adult Dating’ niche. I took the liberty of adding some black boxes over one of the ads…you would thank me after ripping your eyes out.

Do These Offers Convert?

OOOOOOH Yes. A friend of mine said it best, “Regular dating offers don’t take adult traffic because the traffic quality is horrible. The adult dating sites are so much better at monetizing, they can take this ‘bad’ traffic and still pay the same as a regular dating lead, $4-$6 per lead”.

Now you are probably thinking, well this space must be just as competitive as the regular dating niches. I thought the same thing, until I started asking around. When doing United States traffic for dating ads on Facebook I regularly pay $0.40-$1.20 CPC. Adult traffic sources like Exo Click and others have so much volume, that you regularly get clicks for under $0.05 each (good ads can get $0.01-$0.03).

After meeting guys who quit their day job after starting in adult dating a month before, I think its safe to say these offers convert.

Tell Me About The Adult Ad Spy

The Adult Ad Spy is a tool that goes out over every adult website (both mobile versions and full browser) and scrapes the ads they have. It also checks the landing pages, dates run, number of times seen, etc. and aggregates all of this into a handy bunch of visual stats you can use. One could call it the WhatRunsWhere of the adult industry.

It has 3 main capabilities

1. Top Ads Overall - The Top Ads features is handy for seeing whats out there but it gets a little diluted because a lot of the bigger brands are buying so much volume they are probably always going to be the top ads…a few of these definitely look familiar.
2. Ads By Publisher – This option lets you specifically type in an adult website and see what ads are being displayed on there. Ideally you could use this to enter a website you will advertise on and see what other successful ads have been running on here.
3. Display Ads By Advertiser – This has got to be the dirtiest trick in this industry. This portion of the tool lets you enter someone’s landing page URL and it shows you EVERY ad that points to that landing page. You would be amazed to see how the top 10 most successful guys in this industry all run the same exact landing pages and ads. You can also always access this feature from within any ad you see, REALLY USEFUL.

Who Would This Tool Be Good For?

This tool would definitely be GOLD for anyone who is new to the adult space, or thinking about entering it. I’ve already read a few stories on forums of guys just stealing some ads using this tool, stealing a landing page, and profiting instantly. The tool definitely isn’t cheap but they offer it with a $9 trial, so that should really let you figure out if its right for you or not without breaking the bank.

If you are interested in checking it out head on over to AdultAdSpy.com and don’t get … too distracted, doing research for your next adult campaign.

There is also an AWESOME case study showing how someone made over $70,000 profit in 4 weeks with this tool’s help. You can check that out at:
