I have and adult site and I want to get more returning traffic I was thinking of implementing some sort of push notification system into my site. I was looking into FireBase but it's not the easiest to use and I don't like the way FireBase works, I found Izooto as one option but it's paid and it doesn't have a free service, I want to see how effective it is before spending money on it, I also looked into OneSignal and Webpushr but they don't allow adult content, does anybody has any recommendations? I need something that allows adult, and is free even if it's limited to like 3000 subscribers.
Web push notifications for adult sites?

mainstream providers like onesignal are a waste of time for adult projects . they’ll let u collect subs for a week and then nuke the account the second their automated filters or manual review teams spot a thumbnail
u should look into propush . it’s a sub-brand of propellerads so they are 100% adult-friendly . the best part is u don't just get the push tech , u actually get paid for every sub u acquire . it’s basically an extra monetization layer that helps with returning traffic signals at the same time
if u want total control and zero risk of being deplatformed , u gotta reconsider firebase or a self-hosted script . i know u said it’s a pain to set up , but owning ur own .js service worker is the only way to guarantee those subscribers dont vanish when a saas company changes their tos . there are plenty of ready-to-go service worker templates on github that handle the browser handshake without the heavy middleware
another one worth checking is pushwelcome . they are way more lenient with niches compared to webpushr or onesignal and have a solid free tier to get u started
bottom line : in the adult game , if ur not using a provider that specifically handles high-risk traffic , ur just building ur audience on a foundation of sand . stick to the networks that actually want ur traffic

Hi! I have a web push notification tool for your website. Can we contact you on Tg?
I looked into propush, they listed adult as not allowed, wanted to talk to them but they didn’t answer, I found out about gravitec and they said they allow adult traffic so I went with them but thanks for the answer! I might switch to FireBase down the road but I just want to see how effective push is.

If you want full control, look into self-hosting with the web-push npm package and VAPID keys. No middleman, no bans, you own the subscriber list. Setup takes a day but then you're independent. For paid networks that won't ban you - RollerAds and Pushground are both adult-friendly and actually pay decent CPMs.

You might want to look into self-hosted push notification solutions. Some WordPress plugins or open-source scripts can work with adult content since you're hosting them yourself and not relying on third-party restrictions.
The setup is a bit more technical, but it gives you full control and avoids the adult content limitations that most push providers have.

Most mainstream push notification services restrict adult content, so it's pretty common to run into that issue.
One option is using a self-hosted push notification setup, which gives you more control and avoids those restrictions. It requires a bit more technical setup, but it works well for adult sites.
Another thing some people do in the adult niche is using adult-friendly push traffic networks instead of traditional push services.
If you're just testing with around 3k subscribers, a lightweight self-hosted solution might actually be the easiest way to start.
