Best places to spy on native ads in the wild?

Hi STMers,

I am looking for the best websites to visit if I'm trying to manually spy on native ads in the wild?

Preferably sites that have auto-reloading and never ending native ads that populate from several different native networks.

My main goal is to rip and model some landers with good stories, preferably "nightmare stories". I tried a few sites but I'm having to sort through hundreds of content arb and short "jump page" style advertorials to find anything decent.

Thanks!

Search and content arb are a huge part of Native from what I can see. I seriously doubt you'll get away from it. They will always be there.

The best one for Taboola is Fivethirtyeight.com on desktop, they have an infinite scroll and you can see hundreds upon hundreds of ads very quickly... by the bottom you'll see all the stuff at the lowest bids... its really interesting... for some reason the widget only shows up in US/CA/AU/NZ though, but not any other geo's...

For non-English geo's on Taboola search 'MSN {country name}' and their mobile feed will be infinite scroll.

For Revcontent I don't believe there's any infinite scroll widgets, but some good sites to manually spy on are TheHornNews.com (very high epc site), conservativeinstitute.org, and nationalweatheragency.org. Breitbart has lots of widgets but in my experience they differ markedly from the norm on Revcontent, and Breitbart was never a very high-epc site for me.

For Outbrain CNN is good, as well as Sky News.

Hope that helps

Try to use a VPN and pretend you're browsing from a different country and try a few. Arbitrage is more present in some GEOs than in others.

jack_I gave you great tips above too, like always!
