About Adult Affiliate Guide

Who publishes Adult Affiliate Guide, how the guides are written in 2026, and how we make money.

Adult Affiliate Guide is an independent, operator-focused publication covering the adult affiliate industry - programs, networks, traffic sources, payout rails, hosting, tooling and compliance. It was founded in 2018 by Mike Triumph as a personal journal of what was working inside his own adult media buying, cam and tube-site portfolios. In 2026 it was relaunched as an AI-authored, human-edited publishing system designed to ship a new guide every day.

What we actually do

  • Publish one deeply-researched guide per day covering a single operator question - program reviews, payout comparisons, traffic-buying tactics, cam/creator economics, compliance updates, and tooling break-downs.
  • Maintain a living offer directory grouped by operator use-case (cam networks, paysite affiliates, clip platforms, ad networks, affiliate networks, hosting, payments, community tools), with payout, geo and best-for signals attached to every program.
  • Route every partner link through our /recommends/<id>/ tracker so we can swap partner URLs as programs change hands, without rewriting a single post.
  • Keep a public methodology describing how we rate, verify and update what we publish - plus an affiliate disclosure that names which relationships are paid and which are editorial.

How the guides are written

Every guide on this site is produced by a generative AI pipeline (GPT-class models at the time of writing) running on our own infrastructure, using:

  • a human-curated topic backlog covering the operator questions we see repeatedly in forums, Slack groups and mastermind chats,
  • a living data layer of programs, payout terms and jurisdictional notes that the model is grounded in,
  • structured prompt contracts that enforce word count, section shape, comparative takes, dated claims, citations and FAQs,
  • automated fact-scraping that pulls current partner URLs, prices and terms at build time rather than relying on model knowledge.

Every guide is editorially owned by Mike Triumph. The AI drafts; the editorial process picks the topic, sets the argument, selects the programs referenced, reviews the output and decides what ships.

We lean into AI on purpose. Our view is that the 2020s adult affiliate reader deserves faster coverage, more explicit comparisons and more machine-readable data than the genre used to ship - and that AI-assisted editorial is how a small independent publication keeps pace with networks whose terms change weekly.

Who we write for

Adult industry operators:

  • Webmasters running tube, review, dating, paysite or cam properties.
  • Cam models and clip producers choosing where to publish, cross-promote and take payout.
  • Media buyers buying adult traffic across DSPs, networks and pop sources.
  • Agencies and studios managing creator rosters on OnlyFans, FanCentro, ManyVids and similar.
  • New entrants trying to understand how revshare, CPA, PPS and hybrid deals actually work in 2026.

If you’re an end consumer looking for cams/content, you’re in the wrong place - this site is about the business behind the industry, not the product.

How we make money

Every “Visit partner” link and most in-post program mentions on this site are affiliate links. If you sign up or convert through one of our links, the program pays us a commission at no extra cost to you. That’s how we fund the research, the writing and the tooling.

What this means in practice:

  • Ranking is editorial, not paid. We publish negative coverage of networks we have active commercial relationships with, and we list competing programs side-by-side.
  • Numbers are directional. Payout terms move. We link to the source of truth (each network’s own affiliate page) and flag stale data with the “as of” date at the top of each guide.
  • We disclose. Every post carries an affiliate disclosure and every outbound partner link is marked rel="sponsored nofollow". See the full affiliate disclosure.
