Smalk AI Analytics

Description

Track and Monetize AI Agents and AI Search Engines
The internet is evolving. AI search engines, answer engines, and intelligent agents are changing how users find and consume content. With the Smalk AI Plugin, you can gain full visibility into AI traffic on your site and unlock new revenue streams from AI visitors.

Unlike other plugins, Smalk AI does not block AI crawlers or bots. Instead, we help you tag, track, and manage these visits, giving you complete visibility into your AI traffic and the ability to monetize it.

Have you noticed your AdSense clicks and revenues declining? That’s because AI agents are now visiting your website on behalf of human users. With Smalk AI Search Ads, you can turn those AI visits into revenue by joining our private marketplace that connects publishers with brands looking to rank #1 on AI search engines.

Your website’s future audience is already using AI – are you ready to meet them and monetize them?

FAQ

  • Do I need a Smalk AI account to use this plugin?
    Yes. Setting up an account only takes a few seconds and gives you access to detailed insights about AI agents interacting with your site, plus the ability to monetize AI traffic with AI Search Ads.

  • Is Smalk AI free?
    Smalk AI offers a freemium model. AI Analytics tracking features are free to get started. AI Search Ads operates on a revenue-sharing model – you earn money when brands advertise through your content.

  • What AI agents will the plugin track?
    We track all major AI agents, including GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Gemini, Google AI Overviews, Mistral AI and more.

  • Why should I care about AI agents?
    AI agents are the future of web traffic. Their activity affects:

    • Your visibility on AI search engines
    • How users access your content via AI-powered assistants
    • The performance and relevance of your website in the age of AI
    • Your revenue – AI agents are replacing human clicks, which explains declining AdSense earnings
  • How does AI Search Ads work as an AdSense alternative?
    AI Search Ads connects publishers with brands looking to rank #1 on AI search engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AIO. When AI agents crawl your top-performing pages, relevant brand placements are included, and you earn revenue. It’s simple: more AI visits = more revenue.

  • Why are my AdSense earnings going down?
    When someone asks ChatGPT or Perplexity a question, AI agents visit websites to gather information – but those visits don’t generate AdSense clicks. Users get their answers directly from AI, without ever clicking through to your site. Smalk AI Search Ads solves this by monetizing those AI visits directly.

  • How do I get started with AI Search Ads?
    Simply enable the AI Search Ads feature in the plugin settings, and our marketplace will automatically match your content with relevant brands. You’ll start earning revenue from your top AI-visited pages.

  • Do I need to be a publisher or content creator to use AI Search Ads?
    Yes. AI Search Ads is designed for bloggers, publishers, and content creators who produce quality content that AI agents crawl. If your site receives AI traffic, you can monetize it.

Just added on different blogs and I cannot imagine the way I’m present on AI live search products like ChatGPT and Perplexity

I was one of their early beta users and the team was super helpful understanding AI traffic and how AI models were scraping my content. Work like a charm, as described!

Since a month or two, I was witnessing traffic from ChatGPT that wasn’t in my Google Analytics. I found this plugin and the team was super helpful!! Since then, I discovered that I had a LOT of visits from AI Search and LLMs with referrals. I can now track this new marketing channel and optimize it!!
