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.

Redirect Chains Can Break an Otherwise Good Campaign: How to Test It

An adult campaign carries two responsibilities: reach the appropriate audience and make the economics understandable. An affiliate lead buyer approaches final destinations and policy compliance knowing that an unapproved conversion has little financial value. Neither responsibility disappears when the bid is small. It is sensible to buy adult traffic only after the destination and tracking route have been tested. For a related view of the same decision, compare it with What AdsCompass CPA Goal Does and Does Not Automate: A Practical Framework, which follows the evidence from the source level to the campaign choice.

Final destinations and policy compliance

The first distinction to make is between what the dashboard permits and what the campaign will actually achieve. A tracker is useful only if the network can verify where the visitor ultimately goes. AdsCompass terms place conditions on destination domains and redirects, and cloaking is prohibited. When a campaign uses tracking hops, an affiliate redirect or a link shortener, the final experience should remain consistent with the declared destination and approved landing page.

Before requesting review, follow the entire chain yourself from the same device and country that the campaign targets. Check for errors, unexpected domain switches, malware flags and mismatched offers. A clean creative attached to a broken or concealed destination is still a broken campaign.

How that plays out for a real offer

In an affiliate lead campaign, the network and the affiliate program measure different events. The click is immediate, but the payable lead may depend on validation by a partner. A short-term source report can therefore overstate performance. Keep pending and approved conversions distinct, and match allowable formats and countries to the affiliate offer’s rules.

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.

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. Keep that requirement visible if your next experiment is to buy adult traffic.

Do not assume adult acceptance is universal

A platform that allows 18+ advertisers can still restrict explicit creative content by placement, market or circumstance. Ask support about borderline images before preparing a large batch. Also consider laws applicable to the customer and to the service itself. A format being available in a dashboard does not make every promoted activity lawful in every country.

Size the test for decisions

The first accounting question is not how many visits the deposit can buy. It is how many independent sources can accumulate enough spend for an informed decision. A small test may confirm delivery and event tracking, but it cannot certify the entire inventory pool. Reserve some money for repeating the strongest segment and write down the stopping rule before the first impression is purchased. Otherwise a tempting early result can turn an exploratory budget into an uncontrolled campaign.

Where the test money goes

Consider a hypothetical $450 media allowance split across 5 days. The daily planning number is $90, but the campaign will not necessarily spend it evenly without the corresponding pacing settings. If an early result looks strong, confirm it with qualified conversions, not just a high click count. The same logic applies when an initial source looks poor; ask whether it has received enough spend to be evaluated fairly.

Turning information into action

There is no universal bid or format that replaces a working offer, source-level measurement and the right audience. In the case of final destinations and policy compliance, the important test is whether a result remains useful after validation. Learning to buy adult traffic responsibly is mostly a matter of knowing which results can be trusted. 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.
