Talk:Outbrain

generic article title?

• I would love to rename this article to "Internal Link Widget" or something, but I don't know what it's called. (Kleenex is a brand of facial tissue; Outbrain is a brand of...what is it? Outbrain has competitors, noted in links in the article's § on external links). Since Outbrain seems (to me, personally) to be the big fish in the pond of web-traffic-optimization, it's become the nucleus around which I've built the article. Any edits which can turn this into a more general web traffic optimization article are welcome; maybe then we can rename it. Mang (talk) 17:03, 24 December 2012 (UTC)

I ran into a story about chumboxes at https://www.gimletmedia.com/reply-all/123-an-ad-for-the-worst-day-of-your-life and I remembered creating this stub. I just want to say, after six years in existence, this article looks much MUCH better. Thank yous to all the editors who volunteered their time to expand it. --Mang (talk) 14:20, 4 October 2018 (UTC)

Web traffic optimization? It's "content marketing", isn't it? AKA advertising? And not with the greatest reputation at that! And those are NOT internal links. They go out to the advertisers site.Natcolley (talk) 10:56, 6 September 2016 (UTC)

Chumbox - not neutral?

Hi User:Hemiauchenia! New Wiki editor here. I saw that you reverted an edit of mine and a few others and wanted your feedback. I'm unsure about the word "chumbox." That doesn't seem like neutral language, especially when the source seems like an opinion piece? Perhaps the word chumbox is more appropriate for the "Reception" section? What are your thoughts? Looking forward to learning more. Thanks!

Chumbox really is the standard term to refer to the style of advertising used boy Outbrain and Taboola, just search google news for "chumbox" https://www.google.com/search?tbm=nws&q=chumbox&oq=chumbox outbrain is mentioned in nearly every result. Hemiauchenia (talk) 03:48, 19 August 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for pointing that out. To me, it still slants a little towards slang/derogatory language for a lead section, but you are the expert! Many thanks for a quick response.

Hi there again User:Hemiauchenia, I added some language to the lead section and wanted to know your thoughts!

Outdated entry - requires update

The firm is now part of Teads, and the brand is no more. Hope editors can update the entry. Thank you. ~2026-24967-65 (talk) 08:41, 24 April 2026 (UTC)
