Publisher FAQ

What's the minimum traffic requirement?

None. We care about content quality, not just traffic volume. Small blogs with engaged readers are perfect for Shameless.

Can I use Shameless alongside AdSense?

Yes! Many publishers use both. Shameless targets the audience AdSense can't reach (adblocker users).

What types of sites do you accept?

Tech blogs, developer docs, indie media, newsletters, education sites, OSS project pages. If your content is original and legal, you're likely a fit.

Will readers actually allowlist?

That's the experiment. Early data from pilot publishers shows 10-25% allowlist rates among users who see the prompt. Your mileage may vary.

How do I get paid?

PayPal, Wise, or bank transfer (EUR/USD). You choose during onboarding. Monthly payouts once you hit $25.

What if I don't like the ads?

You can report any ad. We also offer category filtering (e.g., block gambling ads) in your dashboard.

Can I leave anytime?

Yes. No contracts. Remove the embed code, done. You'll get your final payout for that month.
