Corrections are the most valuable message we receive, because the figures we publish change without notice and readers often notice before we do. Below are the addresses for each type of enquiry, the response times you can expect, and an honest list of the things we are unable to help with. Choosing the right address genuinely speeds up the reply.

A Source ID Is More Useful Than a Site Name: How to Test It

Performance reports are useful only if they describe decisions an advertiser can actually make. For a mobile-first audience, reading traffic at placement level must survive the practical test of a phone screen and a real connection. This guide turns the reporting problem into a launch plan. The decision to buy adult traffic should follow the economics of the offer, not a price-floor headline. For a related view of the same decision, compare it with How to Vet an Adult Traffic Seller Before Depositing: A Source-Level Approach, which follows the evidence from the source level to the campaign choice.

Reading traffic at placement level

The platform information gives several firm constraints, but it does not decide the best outcome for any offer. AdsCompass reports Source IDs and permits source-level bid adjustments. An advertiser may know that an entire campaign is breaking even while having no idea which placements are profitable. Source-level reporting changes the unit of analysis: spend, clicks, conversions and revenue can be compared for each traffic source rather than blended into one misleading average.

Preserve the source identifier in the tracker from the first click. Without it, an affiliate dashboard might confirm a commission while leaving the media buyer unable to reproduce it. Good source decisions depend on enough observations; one isolated conversion does not automatically make a placement a reliable winner.

How that plays out for a real offer

A mobile-first campaign should be reviewed on a real phone. Small buttons, long forms and heavyweight visuals can destroy an apparently economical media buy. Carrier filters and OS splits are useful only after the destination can serve these visitors correctly. Do not blame a source for a checkout that fails on the very devices your targeting selected.

Keep a source decision log

A simple record with source ID, date, bid, observed spend, verified conversions and reason for action prevents repeated mistakes. Traffic mix can change after a publisher updates its page or audience. Revisit previous winners rather than treating them as permanent assets. If a new creative changes performance, mark it as a new experiment instead of mixing its data with older results.

Account for audience mismatch

Country, language, carrier and device filters are signals rather than perfect descriptions of people. A visitor may travel, share a connection or prefer a language uncommon in the region. Resist turning a targeting variable into an unsupported assumption about the individual. Where possible, make the landing page adaptable and evaluate actual user behavior after arrival. The practical payoff becomes clear when a business begins to buy adult traffic.

Read quality at the next event

A genuine-looking click is not necessarily a prospective customer. Look for the next meaningful event: a completed form, an eligible registration, a verified purchase, or another clearly defined business goal. Compare the cost of those events by source, device and country. This approach catches both suspicious traffic and ordinary inventory that simply does not match the offer; the corrective action can be different for each.

Do not confuse cheap volume with value

Low entry bids can produce impressive click totals while obscuring weak downstream performance. An adult offer with an expensive conversion path cannot survive merely because a visitor cost a small fraction of a dollar. Compare the same stage of the funnel across sources: verified lead, approved registration, completed purchase or retained member. When revenue is delayed, label early results provisional instead of declaring a profit.

The daily-cap question

Take a planned $320 trial lasting 4 days. A simple calendar would allocate $80 per day, leaving the advertiser to determine whether the available sources can support the intended comparison. Put a conversion definition next to that budget. After the first reporting window, decide whether the next action should be a source adjustment, a landing-page repair or a new test; those are not interchangeable.

The next decision

There is no universal bid or format that replaces a working offer, source-level measurement and the right audience. In the case of reading traffic at placement level, the important test is whether a result remains useful after validation. A better mobile experience may do more for the next attempt to buy adult traffic than a new bid. Preserve the evidence behind each action. Clean comparisons have value long after an individual campaign stops because they reveal what the audience, offer and creative could actually support. The broader editorial context is available on Dating Ads Traffic, where the surrounding trade-offs are explained in one place.

Editorial and press

[email protected]

Requests to quote our research, interview requests, and questions about our methodology or sourcing. Journalists and researchers can request the source list behind any published figure, including the read dates. We do not accept guest posts or sponsored articles.

Partnerships

[email protected]

Proposals from ad networks, platforms and agencies. Read this first: a commercial relationship does not change a deposit figure, an accepted-vertical column or a drawback we name, and we decline arrangements offered on that condition. Our editorial policy sets out where the line sits.

Privacy and data

[email protected]

Access, deletion, correction and opt-out requests, and any question about what we store. We respond to statutory requests within 30 days and usually much faster, since the volume of data we hold is small. Details are in the privacy policy.

Response times

Messages are read by the person who wrote the page in question — currently Smith Jones, who verifies every figure published here. Corrections are acknowledged within two business days, and we tell you whether we are treating the message as a confirmed error, a disagreement over interpretation, or something we cannot act on. Silence is not an outcome we consider acceptable, so you get an answer either way.

General, editorial and partnership enquiries are answered within three to five business days. Privacy requests are handled within 30 days as required by law, and in practice within a week. We work Monday to Friday; messages arriving over a weekend start their clock on Monday.

What we cannot help with

Anything to do with your advertiser or publisher account
We are not an ad network and we have no access to any network's systems. We cannot check a balance, release a held payout, unblock an account, appeal a rejected campaign or see why a creative failed moderation. Those requests have to go to the network's own support team, which every network in our comparisons operates directly.
Disputes with a network or platform
We have no standing to intervene in a commercial dispute and no leverage to resolve one. If a network has withheld a payment or closed an account, your routes are its own support and complaints process, the payment provider involved, and where relevant the jurisdiction the company operates in. We cannot arbitrate and cannot pressure a company on your behalf.
Getting your campaign approved
We document what Google, Meta and TikTok publish about the dating category, including certification requirements and blocked markets. We cannot influence a certification decision, expedite a review or advise you around a policy. Where a rule blocks a specific offer type, that is the platform's decision to make and appeal to.
Individualised legal, financial or tax advice
Our content is general research about advertising products and platform policy. It is not legal or financial advice and does not account for your jurisdiction, business structure or contracts. For decisions with legal or tax consequences, take advice from a professional qualified in your jurisdiction, as set out in our terms.

Before you write about a figure

If you are contacting us because a number on our dating ads traffic page does not match what you see in your account, check the verification date on the page first. We date every page precisely so this comparison is possible, and networks change deposit thresholds and payment-method conditions without announcement. A mismatch against a six-month-old verification date is expected; a mismatch against a recent one is a correction we want.

It also helps to say which payment method you were using. Most deposit minimums are conditional on method — cards, e-wallets, crypto and wire frequently carry different thresholds at the same network — and a large share of reported mismatches turn out to be a different condition rather than a wrong figure. Our full method is documented in how we check data.
