How Porn Site Makes Money?

Porn sites are making money using a few different income sources, most of them are using PPL, PPS,  and PPI banners, Popups, Memberships, and In-stream ads. If you never heard about these monetization methods, I will break them down for you. You can also click here and read my full article on How I monetize my porn sites.

Porn sites are making money using those annoying Pop-Up ads too. Pop-up ads can make you anywhere from $2-$10 per 1000 Pop-up visitors.

Most porn sites are making money using Banner ads, the most popular adult ads network is Crakrevenue. We are working with Crakrevenue ads since 2012, and they are amazing. Crakrevenue will provide you with 2000 different adult offers, most of them are Webcam girl websites, 3D sex games, and Dating sites.

You can use these 3 ad payment options:

PPL (Pay per Lead), once your visitor clicks on your ad banner, your affiliate link will take them to some webcam girls offer (Livejasmin, for example).

Webcam site will allow them to watch all their girls for free, but for 5 minutes only, after that, they have to register their account (Free account), and they can keep watching these webcam girls, that’s how you get PPL commission, you get $2-$5 for each signup (free registration).

PPS (Pay per Signup), let’s say you are using some webcam girls offer again. Someone will click on your ad and your link will take them to some hot Webcam girl on Livejasmin, they will watch her show for a few minutes and Livejasmin will ask them to register in order to continue watching this girl.

They will register a new account, and if they like this girl, they will send some tips for her, $5 or $10. They will pay her to do private shows, they will send her $20 to show her nipples, $50 to show her pussy… Once they start spending their money, they become your PPS commission, and you get a $30-150 per PPS commission.

Rev-Share is revenue share, once your visitor registers their account and starts spending money, you get 20% commission from their spendings, for life. So even if they start spending money in 5 years, you will still get 20% of their spendings.

Popup ads

You can make money using Pop-up ads. Yes, those annoying Pop-up ads. Pop-ups won’t be your main income, but you will get at least $2-$5  per 1000 Pop-ups.

In-stream ads

In-stream ads are used as a Pre-roll ad for your videos. When someone wants to play your porn video, this pre-roll video ad will start playing before your video starts, and your visitor will have to wait for 5 seconds before closing it. In-stream ads will make you $4-8 per 1000 views.

Porn sites can make money from other income sources like premium videos Paid Subscriptions, Paid advertisments, and publishing DVDs with their premium HD content.

So there are tons of monetizing options because the porn industry is huge, and both publishers and advertisers can make some nice money from it.

Porn Site Traffic

The porn business is huge, almost 35% of all internet users are watching porn, and that’s crazy. This industry is so profitable that you can’t go wrong with it, making money from porn sites is guaranteed.

Here are some estimated porn site visitor numbers:

PornHub is probably the biggest porn site online, with 4 Billion visitors per month.

Xvideos is one of the biggest porn sites, with an estimated 1 Billion visitors a month.

YouPorn is also huge, with an estimated 600 million visitors per month.

Other popular porn sites can get anywhere between 5 and 50 million visitors per month depending on their SEO and traffic sources. So we are looking at some huge numbers here.

Making Money with Porn site

I won’t include expenses here, huge porn sites are paying tons of money for their servers, and a lot of employees, so they do have tons of expenses.

Sites under 100.000 visitors per month are really profitable too, they have $20-40 monthly expenses, and they can make some great money with 100k visitors.

I will write down some average stats right now, we are running 70+ sites at the moment, so these stats are from my own experience.

Let’s say your porn site is getting 1,000,000 visitors per month, and you decide to monetize your visitors using PPL, In-stream ads, and Popups.

1 in 50 visitors (on average) will click on your Ad and 70 in 100 visitors will get your Popup (30% will get blocked by Adblocker).

1,000,000 visitors, will get you 20,000 clicks on your ads, and some of those clicks will make you money using PPL, but almost all of them will get your Pop-Ups and In-stream Ads.

If you can get 20,000 clicks on your ad, 1 in 50 people will register as a PPL so you will get 400 PPLs.

700,000 people will get your Pop-Up and 800,000 people will get your In-Stream Ads.

Final calculations are:

400 PPLs X $2.5 = $1000 (average, most of these huge sites will get fixed PPLs on $2-4)

700,000 Popups = $1400 (assuming your average price per 1000 popups is $2)

800,000 In-Stream Ads = $3200 (average price per 1000 in-stream ads is $4)

Average earnings from 1,000,000 visitors on your porn site would be $5000 – $6000.

Let’s take some huge porn site visitor numbers, for example, PornHub, with 4 billion visitors per month, will probably make over $10-20 million per month.

If we divide this number by 30 days we get $400,000 – $600,000 per day.

Let’s say they have some huge expenses too, let’s remove 20% of their income for that purpose, they are still left with $XXX, XXX per day.

Most of these porn sites are making tons of money from their subscriptions too, so that’s a few thousand dollars more, every single day.

Most sites are selling their ad spots, 1 million visitors will get you $300 per day ($7000 – $10000 per month) from sponsored banner ads.
