PlugRush Review (Archived): Programme Closed, See Our 2026 Ranking
PlugRush is closed as of October 2026 and we no longer recommend it. This archived review is kept for history; see our ranking of adult traffic networks we use instead.
Programme closed (updated 10 October 2026). As of 10 October 2026, Adult Affiliate Guide considers the PlugRush programme closed, and we no longer recommend it. Since early March 2026, users on AffiliateFix and ForoBeta have reported that the PlugRush dashboard and login no longer work, that support has stopped responding and that balances can’t be withdrawn. Wiki Money Online lists it as having ceased operations in March 2026. The plugrush.com marketing site still loads, but we found no working advertiser or publisher platform behind it. PlugRush has not published a closure announcement that we could find.
What this page was
This review was first written for visitors who asked about PlugRush. For years it was one of the better-known adult-friendly ad networks, used by webmasters to buy, sell and trade traffic. We’re keeping the review below as a historical record. It describes how PlugRush worked when it was active, not how it works now.
PlugRush as it used to work (historical)
PlugRush offered several ad formats:
- Display banners, which it called “Plugs”, with selectable sizes, responsive layouts and niche targeting
- Popups and pop-unders
- Mobile redirects
- Instant-messenger (IM) style ads
- Interstitials
It also ran a traffic-trade programme, where sites swapped clicks through a widget, and offered a WordPress plugin for placing ads. Our experience at the time was that PlugRush worked best for banners and widgets. Its pop rates were lower than those of the pop networks we preferred, and we have never recommended mobile redirects.
When we wrote this review, the minimum payout was $25. Withdrawals were available via Paxum, PayPal, wire transfer and Payoneer. These details are historical and should not be relied on.
