I have been doing very well in the past ( $xx,xxx a month) promoting adult pay sites. I had to get out of this in 2015 as I started a local business. I am back again but conversion to pay sites is extremely low (almost everything is available for free on tube sites). I am promoting webcams on rev share but is not what I expected or at least not yet. What is really converting today in the adult niche? My traffic is 100% SE and I am looking mostly to generate a long term income (rev share).
Long term cams are very good. Dating on rev share can also be good if you have SE traffic, but there will be more chargebacks.
For SE traffic i would not run PPL dating or PPL cams, i would run rev share all the way as you have no issues with cashflow.
Pick a solid company that's been around a while for the cams and dating though, because you will have to wait months/years for the new customers to translate into big profits.
If you are looking at long term income, these are the only 2 imo. You also have adult gaming offers, but i assume the retention rate on these offers isn't that big.
@pinacore the problem with cam sites that have been around for a while is that they are already saturated...
Then you should try dating or change your mind about long term, use a mediabuying mindset and promote which gives you the highest epc on certain ad spots on your website.
Being advertised on tubes you will come across:
-Male enhancement offers
-Dating
-Cams
-Adult gaming
-Mobile carrier billing offers (decreased alot in performance)
You can find all these offers on cpa networks such as clickdealer, advidi, adsimilis e.t.c.
More mobile carrier focused networks are trafficcompany, brokerbabe, kimia (armorads.com),
Another option is selling links or advertising spots on a monthly basis. Let media buyers convert your traffic, while you focus on increasing your traffic.
What kind of traffic is that? I understand it's SE traffic, but what are the keywords and what's the site ... or is it a network of sites? I need to get an idea about the traffic breakdown in order to give you proper advice.
pinacore is right ... the most money in adult is in dating and cams, paysites are still making money for many ,.. but it comes down to what traffic you have (GEOs too), so tell me more please.

Hey Cristi, dating offers are a solid go-to for SE traffic. Nordics countries usually have quite high payouts.
We have our own CPL dating offers in SE (and we're also covering English GEO's including UK, CA, AU, NZ) with high payouts, if the quality is good we can also update payouts accordingly or look for other options.
If you would like to know more, hit me up on Skype (marijn.advidi) so I can tell you about it.
Adult in 2015 was 10x easier than in 2018, now its a total bloodbath,
especially with the new compliance rules, which halve the CTR.
Will be an uphill battle.
SOI/DOI dating with a really tight control on the sources (most of inventory is utter crap, even from top publishers).
Same angles as in 2015 work, nothing changed, except for campaings lasting shorter, prices being higher.
