Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about SikAds AI wait-time monetization, publisher 40% payouts, advertiser CPM bidding, extensions, and technical integration.
🤖 What is SikAds and how does AI wait-time monetization work? +
SikAds (https://sikads.com) is the world's leading AI wait-time ad monetization network. When a user asks an AI model (like ChatGPT, Gemini, or Claude) a question, there is a natural 2 to 6-second latency window while the AI thinks and generates its response.
SikAds displays a quiet, single-line sponsored ad unit during this exact waiting window. Users double their productivity and earnings without any interruption to the AI chat conversation.
💰 How does the 60/40 revenue split work for publishers? +
SikAds utilizes a transparent, institutional revenue distribution model:
- 40% Publisher Share: Credited instantly to the publisher or web surfer's available wallet balance for every verified ad view.
- 60% Platform Share: Retained by SikAds to cover real-time auction engine infrastructure, API bandwidth, and server maintenance.
⏱️ What are the publisher earning limits ($1/hr and $7/day) and why exist? +
To ensure high CPM bid rates ($0.50–$3.50+ average) and prevent artificial impression botting, SikAds enforces standard rate controls:
- Hourly Cap: Max $1.00 USD per 60 rolling minutes (automatically resets every hour).
- Daily Cap: Max $7.00 USD per UTC calendar day (automatically resets at 00:00 UTC).
These limits guarantee equal ad distribution and high-value advertiser engagement for all publishers across the network.
💳 How do payout withdrawals work, and what is the minimum threshold? +
Once your wallet balance reaches the $10.00 USD minimum threshold, you can request an instant withdrawal from your User Dashboard.
Supported payout methods include:
- 💳 Stripe Express Connect (Direct Bank Account Payout)
- 🅿️ PayPal Express
- 🏦 Direct Bank Wire Transfer
- 🪙 Cryptocurrency (USDT TRC20 / BTC)
🎯 How do advertisers launch campaigns and place CPM bids? +
Advertisers can launch campaigns in seconds through the Advertiser Portal:
- Enter your Brand Name, Headline Creative, and Target Destination URL.
- Set your CPM Bid Rate (starting at $0.50 per 1,000 views).
- Set your Total View Allocation Budget (e.g. 50,000 impressions).
- Fund your wallet via Stripe and your ad enters the real-time bidding auction queue immediately.
👁️ How does SikAds verify viewability and attentive duration? +
SikAds enforces strict MRC-compliant viewability verification. Every ad unit emits continuous viewability heartbeats (at 1s, 2.5s, 5s, and 10s intervals) only while the container is actively visible in the user's viewport during AI model generation.
Advertisers only pay for verified, attentive views (averaging ~9.8 seconds per view).
🔧 How do developers integrate the 1-line HTML embed script? +
Paste this single snippet into any website or web application where AI interactions take place:
<div id="sikads"></div>
<script src="https://sikads.com/embed.js"
data-site-id="pub_YOUR_ID"
data-container="#sikads" async></script>🌐 How do Chrome, Edge, and Firefox Web Surfer Extensions work? +
Users who install the official SikAds Web Surfer Extension on Chrome, Edge, or Firefox automatically earn 40% revenue share whenever they browse ChatGPT, Gemini, or Claude. The extension quietly injects sponsored overlays during response generation without sending any user conversation data to servers.
🔒 Is SikAds private, secure, and GDPR/CCPA compliant? +
Yes, 100%. SikAds does NOT collect, record, or transmit user AI prompts, confidential messages, or chat histories. All ad requests only measure layout viewability and anonymized browser telemetry.
