Knowledge Base
Getting Started
Everything you need to know to start earning with PromptBid.
Integrate the PromptBid SDK into your application, then configure ad placements where you want monetization. The SDK automatically handles real-time bidding with advertisers. You earn 60% of every CPM dollar on the free tier from day one, scaling to 75% at enterprise volume (1M+ impressions/month). Monitor your earnings in real-time via the builder portal dashboard.
Here's how real-time bidding works on PromptBid: Your app sends a bid request to our platform with context about the user and content. Multiple advertisers compete simultaneously by submitting their bids. The highest bidder wins the auction and their ad is delivered in under 100ms. This happens for every impression, ensuring optimal revenue for your application.
PromptBid's revenue sharing model is simple and transparent: builders on the free tier keep 60% of every CPM dollar, while the platform takes 40%. Enterprise builders (1M+ impressions/month) keep 75%. There are no minimums and no hidden fees. As you scale, your revenue share grows with you.
Builder Guides
Comprehensive guides for maximizing your earnings and improving your auction performance.
Getting started is fast: Install the SDK package into your application, then initialize it with your API key from the builder portal. Call the bid endpoint with your user and content context, and the SDK returns the winning ad. Render the ad response in your UI and you're earning revenue. Most integrations take less than 5 minutes to complete.
Maximize your earnings by including conversation context in bid requests so advertisers can show more relevant ads. Set appropriate frequency caps to avoid ad fatigue and maintain user experience. Handle timeouts gracefully by implementing fallback content and retry logic. These practices improve fill rates, advertiser satisfaction, and ultimately your revenue.
Choose which ad categories appear in your application from the builder portal. Block sensitive categories that don't fit your brand or audience. Prioritize relevant verticals where advertisers compete most actively, which drives higher CPMs. You can change category settings anytime, so experiment to find the optimal mix for your user base.
PromptBid supports two ad formats to fit different use cases. Native format delivers contextual recommendations that blend seamlessly with your interface. Sponsored format highlights sponsored actions within your application. Each format competes in auctions, and winning ads are delivered to maximize your earnings.
