Talk:Taboola

This article badly needs a criticism section for the well-doumented criticisms of this and other "around the web" style advertorials. -50.156.18.22 (talk) 19:57, 14 February 2016 (UTC)

Would also like to see details on how the Taboola engine works, along with how it sources it decision making data... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.78.56.130 (talk) 03:09, 7 July 2016 (UTC)

Hi. I am affiliated with Taboola. The current article is flagged as an advert, most likely because: (1) it lists clients and investors extensively and (2) the Reception section is missing substantial controversy. The article could also use a few improvements like adding several acquisitions that are missing, consolidating paragraphs, general expansion, and a re-written lead that summarizes the article rather than a paragraph cited to the company website.

I've put together a draft at Talk:Taboola/draft that I think would bring this up to GA level of quality while adding substantial controversy. Per WP:COI, I am sharing the draft here on Talk for review by a disinterested editor. It is hard to compare the draft to the current live article, so if an editor does not want to review the draft as a wholesale replacement, I can start by trimming promotional material in the live page and taking edits piecemeal. Let me know what is easiest. CorporateM (Talk) 15:07, 7 June 2017 (UTC)

• The draft version is a better version, more info in the criticism area, more professional sounding. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 23:08, 8 June 2017 (UTC)

Thanks @Dennis Brown:. Would you like to do the honors of merging the improved article into article-space, or do you think we should wait longer to see if any other editors have comments? CorporateM (Talk) 12:19, 18 June 2017 (UTC)

Moved and histories merged. You might look at the last few changes to see if they should apply to this version. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 12:25, 18 June 2017 (UTC)

Fixed the broken image, removed the other, it looks like you called a template with too many options,m CorporateM. I will leave to you to clean up the rest. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 12:37, 18 June 2017 (UTC)

This entire thing has been fluffed up by paid editors, most of the details and inane or unreasonably favorable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Everett3 (talk • contribs) 05:38, 19 June 2017 (UTC)

• I disagree. Drmies (talk) 17:48, 19 June 2017 (UTC)
• I too, disagree. I had already reviewed the article and found it reasonably balanced. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 18:05, 19 June 2017 (UTC)

The current 2nd sentence of the article reads:

> It develops and markets a service for online content publishers and advertisers that recommends digital content to website users.

This seems inflated, possibly intentionally with the aim of avoiding the more negative-sounding truth that Taboola is an advertising company. Why not use more direct, concise, and honest language? For example:

> It provides digital content advertisements aimed at website users.

There's nothing biased or dishonest about that statement. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.2.156.154 (talk) 20:41, 15 July 2017 (UTC)

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.

Requesting revert of vandalism here.
