As AI kills search traffic, Google launches Offerwall to boost publisher revenue | TechCrunch
Briefly

Google has launched Offerwall, a new tool intended to help publishers mitigate the decline in traffic caused by AI-driven search features. This tool provides diverse monetization methods, allowing readers to access content through micro payments, surveys, and advertisements. After year-long testing with 1,000 publishers, Offerwall is now integrated into Google Ad Manager. While it offers customization options for publishers, including branding and content presentation, the success of micro payments remains uncertain, as previous attempts have struggled to achieve meaningful traction.
Offerwall brings a diverse set of monetization tools that allow publishers to offer various options such as micro payments, surveys, or ad views, designed to boost revenue beyond traditional traffic-dependent ads.
Publishers now have the flexibility to tailor their Offerwall setup, including the ability to display custom logos and messages, potentially improving user engagement and revenue.
