Commercial relationships, stated plainly
This site is free to read and carries no display advertising. It pays for itself through commercial links to some of the advertising platforms it covers, and the FTC treats that arrangement as a material connection that has to be disclosed clearly rather than buried. This page is that disclosure, written in full rather than compressed into a single line of small print.
How the money actually works
Certain outbound links on this site, including the call-to-action buttons, carry a tracking parameter that identifies the referral. If you follow one of those links, open an advertiser account and fund it, the platform may pay this site a commission. Two models are common in this industry: a fixed payment for a qualifying new advertiser, and a share of the platform's revenue from that advertiser over time. Either may apply.
Following a commercial link costs you nothing and changes nothing about your terms. Your minimum deposit, your bids, your payment methods and your account conditions are identical to what you would get by typing the platform's address directly into your browser. There is no reader-side price for the arrangement, which is precisely why the disclosure has to be explicit: the cost is not financial, it is the risk of biased writing.
What a commercial partner can and cannot get
A platform with a commercial link gets a link. That is the entire list. It does not get a draft to review, a right of reply before publication, a say in table position, removal of a documented weakness, or a promise that a competitor will be described less favourably. Nothing on this site has been shown to a network before it went live.
The comparison table carries no scores and no ranking, which removes the most common place where commercial bias hides. Rows are factual columns with dates attached, and the ordering is not a verdict. Where the text recommends a specific platform for a specific situation, the reasoning is stated in the sentence so you can disagree with it on the facts.
The parts of the site that cut against the money
A disclosure is worth more when it is testable, so here is what to test it against. The home page names specific weaknesses of platforms covered here, including creative-approval problems documented in low-star reviews and the fact that only two of six operators publish any policy on refunds for fraudulent traffic. It states that a minimum deposit is not a working budget and quotes an operator's own recommendation of a starting budget ten times its published minimum, which is information that makes the reader spend more carefully rather than faster.
None of that is compatible with a page written to maximise sign-ups, and all of it stays regardless of which platforms carry commercial links. If a page here ever reads as though the commission wrote it, that is a defect worth reporting through the contact page.
How to spot a commercial link
Assume that any prominent call-to-action button leading to an advertising platform is commercial. Links inside body text pointing at regulators, court opinions, statutes and news coverage are not, and they exist to let you verify claims rather than to sell anything. Outbound links to platforms may pass through a redirect path before reaching the destination, which is ordinary tracking practice and not an attempt to hide where you are going.
The categories that no commission can buy a link for are listed on the advertising standards page, and the wider conditions of use are in the terms. You are never obliged to use them. Every platform discussed here can be reached by typing its name into a search engine, and doing so costs you nothing and this site the commission. The comparison is written to be useful either way.
The rule this is written against
United States disclosure obligations for affiliate relationships sit in the FTC's endorsement guidance and the underlying rules at 16 CFR Part 255, which require material connections to be disclosed clearly and conspicuously and close to the recommendation rather than only on a separate page. That is why the site footer carries a disclosure line on every page rather than relying on this one.
The editorial safeguards that sit alongside the commercial arrangement, including the correction process and the sourcing rules, are on the editorial policy page, and the verification routine behind the figures is on how I check networks.
The practical test of this disclosure is Buy Adult Traffic itself: read it and see whether it reads like a page written to move you toward a deposit, or like one written to slow you down. Who wrote it and why is on the about page. The tracking side of commercial links, including what is stored and for how long, is set out in the privacy policy and named cookie by cookie in the cookie policy, and the sitemap lists everything else published here.
