Has anyone been running campaigns with Outbrain recently? I see mixed opinions about it. Some people say it works well with the right targeting, while others say the traffic quality is not worth the cost.

I think targeting makes a big difference with Outbrain. I would start with a small budget and test different targeting options first, then see if the traffic is actually converting before spending more.
 
Personally, I think it’s more of a testing game with outbrain because a properly targeted campaign can perform nicely, but broad targeting can make the traffic look expensive pretty quickly.
 
Yes, outbrain can work depending on the niche and campaign setup and judge it by conversion quality and ROI rather than traffic volume alone.
 
I have seen mixed results too because It seems to depend a lot on the niche and targeting and I would test with a small budget first and check the traffic quality.
 
I think it depends on the niche and offer and start with a few creatives, also check which placements bring actual conversions before scaling.

I've seen mixed opinions about native ads too because the key is to track conversions carefully and see whether the traffic brings real results.
 
Yes, one thing to watch is the conversion rate rather than just the amount of traffic because cheap clicks do not always mean good results.
 
Honestly, I think outbrain can work well with the right targeting and I would recommend to start with a small budget and test the traffic quality before scaling up.

Click to expand...
Some placements might bring plenty of clicks but very few conversions, so checking which publishers actually bring engaged visitors before increasing the budget seems like the way to go
 
I would advise to start small and test traffic quality before scaling. Outbrain works best for content like articles or funnel awareness where a reader is browsing and has time
 
I’d test it with a small budget first and track conversions, not just clicks. What niche and GEO are you targeting?
