Been there, failed at that. The thing with adult traffic is it's like chasing shadows sometimes, you think you got a handle but then it all vanishes. I've tried everything from native, pop, PPL, you name it. The key is not just throwing stuff at the wall and hoping it sticks but understanding the real game - your targeting, your creatives, and your offer relevance. If your payout lag and ghosting are happening, it's probably not the traffic source's fault. Maybe your tracking is off, or your landing pages are dead or just not resonating anymore. I've learned the hard way that it's not just about finding the "hot" source but making sure your whole funnel is tight. When the traffic is cold or the creatives are stale, you get ghosted. And then you start second-guessing everything. I'd say take a step back and audit your entire pipeline - targeting, creatives, offers, tracking. It's the same old story but people keep chasing the next shiny source and forget the foundation. When you get that right, the traffic sources become just channels, not the reason for the ghosting.
