Check out onlinepersonalswatch dot com. The guy used to work for AFF so he's biased but it has some decent info.

AFF is in the lead when it comes to traffic - which is somewhat misleading because of their iframes and hosted banners/gallery pages manipulating their traffic rankings. They are a private company so actual revenue figures will never be disclosed. Match.com did 249.5 million in revenue for 2005. I don?t see AFF & their properties doing half that at best. Sexsearch is second in adult dating and will probably be at least equal in the near future when it comes to revenue. They are a very viable and persistent threat to AFF. They are eating away at their market share - very effectively.

There really is no accurate top 20 list for adult dating and most all dating sites have an element of "adult" to them - notable exceptions are the religiously based ones.
