I’ve been seeing this question pop up a lot lately, and honestly, I’ve asked myself the same thing more than once. Porn advertising sounds simple on paper. You get traffic, test creatives, scale what works. But in reality, it feels like you’re always one step away from an account ban or a rejected campaign for reasons that aren’t very clear.
The biggest pain point for me was consistency. One week things would run smoothly, and the next week ads were suddenly disapproved or accounts limited. I wasn’t even doing anything wild. Same offers, same landing pages, same audience ideas. It made scaling feel risky, like why push more budget if everything can disappear overnight?
At first, I thought the issue was just bad luck. Then I realized a lot of it came down to how strict mainstream platforms are with adult content. Even when they say adult friendly, there are still hidden lines you’re not supposed to cross. I tried tweaking creatives endlessly. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn’t. What definitely didn’t work was trying to rush scale too fast. Every time I did that, it triggered reviews and problems.
One thing I noticed after a while is that porn advertising seems to reward patience more than aggression. Smaller tests, slower budget increases, and being extra careful with wording and visuals made a difference. I also stopped sending traffic directly to anything that looked too explicit. Using softer pages first helped ads survive longer.
Another big shift was where I chose to advertise. Once I stopped forcing adult campaigns onto platforms that clearly didn’t want them, things got easier. Networks that are built with adult traffic in mind tend to be more predictable. You still need to follow rules, but at least the rules make sense. I spent time reading guides and community posts instead of guessing. One resource that helped me understand what’s usually allowed and what crosses the line was this porn advertising guide I came across.
What really worked for me in the long run was treating bans as signals instead of failures. When something got rejected, I’d strip it down, simplify the message, and try again instead of pushing harder. I also learned to keep backups ready. Extra creatives, extra landing pages, and sometimes even extra accounts, just in case.
I wouldn’t say I’ve cracked some perfect system, but scaling without constant bans feels way more possible now than it did before. It’s less about gaming the system and more about respecting the limits and working within them.
