The advertising agency that provides services to the University where I work proposed the use of Outbrain technology. We have a lot of content but it was not possible to get it to a lot of people at the same time, and that's what Outbrain helped us do.

Puntos a favor

Outbrain is great because they give site owners and brands the ability to advertise on different big name brand across the internet. They do the work and reach out to these sites, while giving you an easy to use platform that allows for easy campaign management.

Puntos en contra

The software is pretty standard and has a bit of a learning curve. We'd like to see better options for lower ad spend on new ad campaigns, and not giving such priority to bigger brands with bigger budgets.

Puntos a favor

The software is very user-friendly and a number of updates have been added over the course of last year, which allow for a better campaign set up, more precise targeting and have helped us decrease our acquisition costs.

Puntos en contra

At the moment it's not possible to evenly split budget between ads, meaning that the ad that has been identified as the most promising by the algorithm gets assigned quite a significant share of the overall budget. Hence, conducting tests on ad level has proven a bit tricky.

Puntos a favor

I like how easy to use Outbrain is. The whole platform is very intuitive and you can easily find your way around. Also, by using the variations mechanism I can easily create several variations with my assets without manually booking them in one by one. This is a big advantage compared to other platforms.
Also, whenever we experienced any kind of difficulty with our campaigns, the customer team worked very fast and provided excellent solutions.

Puntos en contra

I seriously have no big issue with the software. The only thing bothering me from time to time is that single ads cannot be deleted out of a campaign. But using the pause function is an ok workaround for us.

Puntos a favor

Outbrain allows you to take a piece of important content and push it out beyond what most agencies are capable of. You can see your content featured on some high DA sites, meaning you'll get more eyes on it. Instead of traditional display ads, these provide relevant content to website visitors and can help direct traffic your way. If you have a great piece of content, Outbrain can be a great tool to get it the visibility it deserves and grow your brand.

Puntos en contra

It's not cost-effective for everyone. There is a minimum spend, so it may not be in everyone's budget.

Outbrain allows me to publish my articles and drive traffic to them from websites across the internet!

The cost of Outbrain is at time a bit shocking, but the website traffic can really lead to great results.

Sometimes the placement of the content is not the best so click throughs can be lower or their quality not the best.

Bulk changes can be challenging at times but for the most part it is a great network

Puntos a favor

We get a ton of traffic from this channel, at relatively inexpensive prices. But I'm not sure if these leads are actually materializing into new business for our company. . .

Puntos en contra

Leads can vary widely in quality. Most visitors just bounce after click, some view through convert, have not gotten much direct response.

Puntos a favor

I really appreciate the interest targeting feature and they have one of the lowest minimum ad spends in the industry.

Wish they could go just a little lower on the ad spend, like $5/day, to help provide more flexibility when testing effectiveness of copy and campaigns.

None, Seriously I was kicked off the platform before my first ad was approved.

Puntos en contra

I tried to create an add campaign for a self help legal program with an affiliate link. I was kicked off the platform, and was not told why. They just said this type of content doens't fit what their host sites affiliate want. Instead of just telling me this and letting me edit my ad, they deactivated my account. Very dissatisfied.

Puntos a favor

Outbrain's interface is pretty easy to use, and it's very quick to get your campaign up and running.

The traffic is worthless. None of the audience is remotely targeted, and it results in zero conversions.
