Outbain expert needed (native ad network)

I am uploading legit content and following all of their rules. I constantly get rejected for no specific reason at all and they are extremely slow to respond and review content. If there anyone that can help please let me know. Idk wtf is wrong with their shit but they need to get it together

Go for taboola and revcontent first and Outbrain will follow... They will definitely follow if they see that you've been approved by adsense.

lol rev content is one of the biggest and worst networks out there. and i hate the people at taboola. most are pricks and i need help with outbrain not suggestions where else to go lol

Lol, i don't think reacting to a friendly suggestion like a prick will do you any good in the long run... in any case, oubtrain have recently surpassed taboola, so now they have all the reasons to become pricks themselves. Also, are you sure you can show them a few million unique hits monthly? They will check your site with alexa, similarweb etc.

Also, if you already have adsense on your page, this can help during negotiation with their account managers. They do look forward to quality from time to time and love piggy backing on google's QA.

Outbrain has become very picky as to what content is allowed to run on their network. I suggest you read up on their guidelines

http://www.outbrain.com/amplify/guidelines

I've had campaigns rejected for incontent ads for ex, so I used bait and switch...remove incontent ads till they approve the campaign and put them back on when they approve. They also don't allow any form of exit (intent) pops

Have you got an account manager you're dealing with? Make sure you're not generic sounding "how about I try Outbrain" affiliate. Maybe write to them your past numbers with other networks, layout your plans, ask what they think you might improve with your articles. Remove the affiliate links or CTA elements from the articles you try to submit.

To sum it up, secure a personal connection within the network.

We have personal contacts in Facebook, Outbrain, Taboola etc. and are able to advertise sites that are pretty much in grey area of their guidelines. The fastest way to solve problems is over the phone but make sure they know you well enough before calling them. Also, the size of the budget is unfortunately the main flexibility supplement for them.

I have some of the same issues. I have a white hat supplement (muscle and diet) We spend 10 - 15k a day on facebook for over a year and have an amazing relationship but when I try to get on revcontent, adblade, outbrain, etc etc etc they tell me my stuff is not compliant. Its simply amazing that FB will allow something to run these content networks wont allow.

Any luck with trying an email funnel to get through review? then slowly warm up the subs for your product push? A food/health related blog, then paying copywriter a few k/m?

You won't be able to get typical funnels approved on most native networks. Native is all about content, so advertising content-less pages is not allowed.
