Master-X review: the Russian adult webmaster forum today

Advertising on Master-X

The English-language advertising page sells a full forum skin for $1,100 a week, quoted at about 20,000 unique visitors and 480,000 page views a week. Banners run $150 to $220 a month, a global sticky thread $200 a week, a sticky thread in one section $50 to $300 a month, and the newsletter $50 to $400 a month. Bookings go through the administrator by Skype or email. For an affiliate program or ad network targeting Russian-speaking webmasters, this is the direct route to them.

Is Master-X still active?

Yes, at a slow pace. About forty threads got a reply over the last ten days, most of them ads: SEO services, Gmail accounts for sale, crypto exchangers, job offers, even rubber stamp engraving. A few trade discussions still run, about Adult Empire, Paxum or Drawncash. The news section has not moved since October 2023, and the last article dates from June 2019, though the home page counter shows close to 100,000 page views the previous day.

What the Master-X sections cover

Every corner of the trade: affiliate programs, ad networks, age verification, phone billing, cams, dating, traffic and SEO, tubes, content, hosting, programming, finance and law, crypto, jobs, and buying and selling sites. The biggest sections are affiliate programs, with over 15,000 threads and 172,000 posts, and ads, with over 19,000 threads. One section lists cheaters and partners who do not pay. The archives go back to 1998.

Posting on Master-X

The site is built for Russian speakers: thread titles and posts must be in Russian, with English allowed only for niche names, programs and technical terms. A transliteration tool helps with Cyrillic. An advertisement can be posted once, in the right section, and repeated ads with nothing new are banned. Signup is free, and reading needs no account. No company or address is published.
