What do you like best about Taboola?

Nothing at all. They are useless scammers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Taboola?

The account was hacked or Taboola messed up and was running the wrong accounts on my account. I had to remove all of my payment methods to stop the bleeding. Lost almost $300 in a blink of an eye. I have been waiting for customer service to respond for 1 month and 2 days know. Only response was asking for the campaign ID in question. DO NOT USE THIS GARBAGE Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Taboola?

Taboola is easy to use and the user interface is fairly intuitive. For a low price, you can get a large number of clicks and traffic to your website, though the quality of that traffic can be suspect. The Taboola team is helpful and willing to put in the time and effort to explain the platform, and provide insight into recommendations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Taboola?

There are some limitations with Taboola that aren't there with other vendors. For example, you can't really run your ads on a whitelist of sites, or only on sites within a certain vertical. You cannot use bid adjustments and their metrics don't include things like time on page or other on-site engagement metrics. Traffic is also of relatively low quality and your ads can show next to click-bait articles on rather low-end sites. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Taboola solving and how is that benefiting you?

We're driving traffic to the site at a very low CPC. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Taboola?

We do like many of the publishers on Taboola. They allow you to tap into some premium Native Ad traffic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Taboola?

We are not a fan of Taboola's dashboard, their approval system, or their user interface. We wish we could archive campaigns. We're also not a big fan of their approval team; they can sometimes be rude. Overall, Taboola is a good alternative to Native traffic, but we hope their merge with Outbrain will be better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Taboola solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use Taboola to purchase additional traffic via native publishers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Taboola?

Even though the dashboard is lacking functionality, the publishers working together with Taboola and algorythm is at the top of the market.

Retargeting works also great - and you can create campaigns on 3rd party cookies (deciding on whether to target interests, or vocation or something else) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Taboola?

Ad creation is really painful

Reporting is tedious

Customer service is lacking (altough you can do most yourself with the self service tool - so does not really matter)

Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Taboola:

Definetly try out the retargeting and create campaigns distinguished by device as CPCs between vary a lot between mobile, tablet & desktop Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Taboola solving and how is that benefiting you?

Scaling lead gen business - getting more newslette signups -

What do you like best about Taboola?

Nothing. It does nothing. It is completely useless and overpriced. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Taboola?

Everything. The platform itself is slow as a snail. Also, If you like getting lots of fake leads from Africa and India - try it. It is amazingly expensive, does nothing, and watch out - if you fill out a wrong box, or click 'accelerated' - even with a monthly spending limit of $250, it'll hit you up for $100 a day. Complete and utter waste of money - the leads are fake - and no refunds are available when they over-charge you to criminal proportions. USING THIS PLATFORM IS HIGHLY DISCOURAGED. The biggest mistake I've made in business in 5 years. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Taboola:

NEVER USE IT. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Taboola solving and how is that benefiting you?

It did nothing. Used for 6 weeks with a highly successful funnel, and it brought nothing but fake leads and dead ends from the middle east and africa. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Taboola?

the new audience segments are something really nice and good. Possible to play around with them a lot Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Taboola?

content creation - try A/B testing 5 creatives and 5 ad copies and handle a lot of uploading errors... you will waste a lot of time with that. They really need to implement the cross testing feature Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Taboola:

do not rely solely on taboola - use other providers as well Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Taboola?

The unique ad solution for publishers and the performance for DR advertisers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Taboola?

Being over billed on our first campaign that we did not manage. The first one had to be managed by Taboola's internal team.

On the publisher end, they wanted us to sign a year long agreement in the beginning. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Taboola solving and how is that benefiting you?

We can run and manage our clients campaigns on a CPC basis.

As a publisher, their solution adds additional and incremental revenue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Taboola?

I normally use taboola to analyze data and check how our campaigns are performing. As a Marketing Analyst I don't usually upload campaigns myself but Taboola has a really nice interface to check data quick and easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Taboola?

It is still a very simple website, to sign in the first time your rep needs to register you in, at least that's how it was in my case, and it took a while. Also, even that their simplicity does helps at time you wish you could have more data to analyze. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Taboola:

It will do probably every you want this platform to do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Taboola solving and how is that benefiting you?

Taboola offers certain ways to extract data that have been quite beneficial for my reporting. For example, and this is something you can do in many other advertising sites, you can export the image URL which works to extract the image while using a Google Sheet report.

The traffic that Taboola drives isn't the best. It really doesn't convert well and we've decided to slowly pull away from that platform in lieu of spending elsewhere. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Definitely review pricing Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Taboola?

Its a great way to promote content across the web. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Taboola?

the sites that they choose were highly irrelevant and we were never credited for spending large amounts of our budgets on the sites they chose. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Taboola:

I would pay real close attention to the audiences and websites they're serving you on. Many of the sites they served us on made no sense whats so ever. We're a job recruitment site, and they were showing us on retirement websites. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Taboola solving and how is that benefiting you?

trying to drive more awareness to our service. we got traffic, but most of it bounced Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
