FAQ

Questions about SilentAds.

How SilentAds works for publishers, AI-driven traffic and performance commerce.

What is SilentAds?

SilentAds is a publisher monetization platform available as a WordPress plugin. It contextually matches eligible publisher content with relevant approved commercial offers so commercial context can be evaluated independently by AI assistants and agents.

Who is SilentAds for?

SilentAds is for content publishers with legitimate content and commercial relevance. The current product supports WordPress, and publishers explicitly authorize each site they connect and have authority to monetize.

Does SilentAds change what my readers see?

SilentAds is designed so publishers do not need to add a conventional visual ad placement merely to make commercial context available to AI systems. In the current WordPress integration, the ordinary article experience remains visually unchanged.

Does an AI assistant reading my page create an affiliate click?

No. Retrieval or evaluation of publisher content and commercial context is not intended to activate affiliate tracking or create a payable performance event. Affiliate attribution begins only at an appropriate intentional downstream commercial action. See the Partner Integration Flow.

Does SilentAds buy traffic?

No. SilentAds operates on participating publishers’ existing traffic and discovery channels. It does not rely on paid-search arbitrage.

How does a publisher connect a site?

A WordPress administrator installs the SilentAds plugin, chooses Connect SilentAds, reviews the target site, confirms authority to connect and monetize it, and accepts the applicable publisher agreements. Once approved, a site-specific connection credential is issued and the publisher returns to WordPress in the Connected state.

Do publishers need API keys or technical setup?

No manual API key setup is required in the normal publisher connection flow. SilentAds handles the site connection through the guided browser approval process.

Can I pause SilentAds without disconnecting?

Yes. Turning Monetization OFF pauses matching and delivery while the site connection remains intact. Turning it ON resumes matching and delivery. Disconnect is a separate action.

Can I disconnect the site completely?

Yes. The publisher controls the connection. Disconnect revokes the site connection credential, and reconnecting later requires completing the connection flow again.

Does SilentAds add visitor cookies or analytics?

The current SilentAds WordPress plugin does not add visitor analytics, fingerprinting, tracking pixels or automatic affiliate redirects merely by being installed. Commercial tracking may apply later at an appropriate intentional outbound action according to the applicable commerce programme. Ordinary infrastructure and server logs may still contain technical request information. Read the Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy.

How are commercial offers disclosed?

Commercial or sponsored context is identified as promoted or sponsored, and AI systems evaluate it independently. Publishers may still need site-level or human-facing affiliate disclosures, and individual providers or programmes may require additional wording. The plugin supplies general disclosure and privacy guidance, but that guidance may not satisfy every requirement. Read the Publisher Terms.

How are offers selected?

SilentAds matches eligible content against available approved commercial inventory using contextual relevance and programme eligibility. Inventory and eligibility vary, so not every article will receive an offer.

Does SilentAds guarantee revenue?

No. Results depend on publisher traffic, inventory availability, programme eligibility, intentional user actions, validated conversions and provider reporting. SilentAds does not guarantee a particular commercial result.

Which geographies and verticals are supported?

Coverage depends on available approved inventory and programme eligibility. SilentAds expands coverage as suitable advertiser programmes and product feeds become available, so offer availability can vary by geography and content category.
