Platform overview — advertisers, creators, publishers

How Adscod's three sides fit together on one network, and what each one does.

What Adscod is

Adscod is a three-sided ad network built for African markets. Advertisers run campaigns from a pre-paid wallet. Creators turn a free bio page into an earning surface. Publishers plug a single API call into their site or app and get paid for the inventory it generates. Argus — the matching and fraud engine — connects the three sides automatically, with no applications or approval queues in between.

The three roles

  • Advertisers — fund a wallet and run CPC, CPA and CPM campaigns targeted by country, city, and device. No subscriptions, no briefs
  • Creators — get a free bio page and earn from auto-matched brand cards, affiliate products, and custom links
  • Publishers — call one API endpoint to serve matched native ads on your site or app, and keep a 65% revenue share

How a click travels through the network

  1. 1An advertiser funds a wallet and creates a campaign with country, city, and device targeting — minimum spend $10 (CPC from $0.40/click, CPA from $3.50/action, CPM from $1.50 per 1,000 impressions)
  2. 2Argus matches the campaign to creator bio pages and publisher placements that fit the targeting — no applications, no manual review
  3. 3A visitor sees or clicks the matched ad on a creator's bio page or in a publisher's app
  4. 4Argus screens the activity for fraud in real time, before anything is billed
  5. 5Verified clicks, actions, and impressions are billed to the advertiser's wallet and credited to the creator or publisher
Creator · Earnings lifecycle

  1. Earn

    hourly

    Clicks, conversions and impressions accrue as pending earnings.

  2. Hourly sweep

    automatic

    Runs each hour once pending hits $1.00 and the campaign is still funded.

  3. Available balance

    cash out

    Cleared earnings, ready to withdraw.

  4. Withdraw

    net payout

    WHT 15% (6% with a TIN) plus a 2.5% fee (4.5% for express).

  5. You receive

    Net amount lands in your mobile money or bank account.

Your wallet is held in USD; the local-currency figure on the dashboard is an estimate.

What happens after a verified click — the same lifecycle for creators and publishers.

What's included from day one

  • Smart matching — Argus matches campaigns to the right creators and publishers by geography, device, and category fit
  • Fraud screening — every click, action, and impression is checked before it counts, so fraud traffic is never billed or paid out
  • Real-time analytics — advertisers see ROAS and CTR live; creators and publishers see earnings update as clicks land
  • On-demand payouts — creators withdraw via mobile money once they clear the method minimum; publisher earnings sweep hourly into a withdrawable balance
  • One-call integration — publishers serve native ads with a single GET request, no SDK to install
