ChatAds is an embeddable AI chat widget for publishers. Readers ask your site an AI assistant questions right on the page (like a ChatGPT box that lives in the corner of your posts), and ChatAds monetizes those chats with relevant in-line affiliate links. It works out of the box, with no training or content upload required. The easiest way to install it on WordPress is the official plugin - you paste your widget key, and there’s nothing to keep in sync when new widget features ship.

​
Why WordPress publishers use it

  • A new revenue stream that isn’t display ads. When a reader asks the assistant something with buying intent (“what’s a good beginner espresso machine?”), ChatAds can weave in an affiliate link. No banner clutter, no slowing your site down.
  • Keeps readers on your page. Instead of leaving to search elsewhere, readers get answers in context, on your site.
  • Zero content work. The assistant answers general questions immediately. You don’t have to feed it your archive or configure prompts to get started.
  • You stay in control. Appearance, which pages it shows on, and whether monetization is on are all managed from the ChatAds dashboard, not in your WordPress admin, so new features ship without you editing anything.

​
Install (about 2 minutes)

1. Get your widget key Sign up at app.getchatads.com (there’s a free tier). On the Settings tab, copy your widget key. It starts with cwk_. 2. Add it to WordPress Option A: Official ChatAds plugin (recommended)
  1. In your WordPress admin, go to Plugins > Add New, search for ChatAds, and install it
  2. Activate the plugin
  3. Go to Settings > ChatAds, paste your widget key (starts with cwk_), and save
Option B: Code-insertion plugin
  1. Install a header/footer script plugin, e.g. WPCode
  2. Go to the plugin’s header/footer settings screen
  3. Paste your embed snippet into the Footer field and save:
Option C: Google Tag Manager If GTM is already installed on the site, create a new Custom HTML tag containing the snippet above, set the trigger to All Pages, and publish the container - no plugin needed.
Pasting the snippet directly into footer.php via Appearance > Theme File Editor also works, but theme updates or switching themes can wipe it out. The plugin or GTM route survives theme changes.
That’s it. The launcher pill (default label “Ask AI”) appears in the bottom corner of your site. 3. Lock it to your domain Back on the ChatAds Settings tab, add your WordPress site’s domain to Allowed Domains so no one else can use your key.

​
Turning on monetization (optional)

Monetization is off by default. In the dashboard you can enable either or both:
  • Amazon affiliate links - the assistant recommends real products and links them with your Amazon Associates tag.
  • Affiliate link scraping - reuses the affiliate links you already have on the page, plus links to products mentioned on the page.
You can also just run the assistant as a free reader-engagement tool with monetization off.

​
Customization

From the dashboard you control the widget color, welcome message, starter questions, the AI’s tone, and which pages it appears on (for example, posts only, not your homepage). None of this touches your WordPress theme.
