Frequently asked questions
Why are bots clicking ads on OpenAI?
OpenAI Ads is a new platform that is heavily scraped by third-party research bots, automated scrapers, and competitive monitoring tools. Because ads are injected into conversational or search answers, headless bots executing automated queries click on sponsored links either intentionally or programmatically. BotRefund found that 58.1% of its own OpenAI Ads traffic was confirmed automated bots, with 665 clicks from Microsoft Azure datacenter servers.
