How PornRanks makes a living
100% through affiliation. When you click "Visit" from a review and sign up on the partner site, we earn a commission. That commission is paid by the site (not by you).
The type of commission varies from site to site:
- CPA (Cost Per Acquisition): we earn $X/€X per validated signup (e.g. €30-80 per Binance signup).
- CPS (Cost Per Sale): we earn a % of the first purchase (e.g. 20% of the first Stripchat token purchase).
- RevShare (Revenue Share): we earn a % of everything you spend with them, for life (e.g. 25% lifetime on Brazzers).
- Hybrid: a combination of CPA + RevShare (the most common one in crypto).
It changes nothing for you
The price you pay is exactly the same with or without our link. The commission we earn isn't taken out of your account — it's baked into the partner site's marketing budget.
Often, using our link even gets you A BONUS (a discount on fees, free tokens, etc.) — we negotiate these deals on purpose to make it a win-win.
Who pays us (and how much — ballpark)
A few examples of active partners and roughly what we earn:
- Binance: 20% lifetime commission on the fees you generate
- BingX: 30-50% lifetime revshare
- Bybit: 30% revshare or a fixed bounty
- Aster: 25% revshare + shared points farming
- Stripchat: 20% lifetime on your token purchases
- Brazzers: 25-50% on first payments
What we REFUSE
Here's what we've already turned down (and always will):
- Buying a better rating in exchange for a bigger commission. Turned down 6 times this year.
- Hiding a partner's flaws. We always call them out, even when it costs us signups.
- Pushing sites we think suck just because they pay well. We put them at the bottom, flagged "avoid".
- Running copy-trading scams (= showing "top trader" accounts that are actually paid shills).
Disclosed conflicts of interest
To be totally clear, here are the potential conflicts:
- We make MORE money when you click on an affiliate link. So we have an interest in steering you toward those links.
- But our long-term credibility is worth more than the commission from a single signup. So we won't lie to you about a site's quality.
- Information asymmetry: we know these sites better than you do. We try to pass that knowledge on to you honestly.
How to check that we're honest
- Compare our ratings with other independent sources (Reddit, specialized forums) — you'll see we're consistent.
- Test the low-rated sites on our site → you'll see they really are worse.
- List the top-rated sites with no aff URL on our site (= we promote them without making any money off them). They exist.
- Report a dishonest review to us via /report and we'll explain ourselves.
