Taboola Feed Replaces OTV’s Previous Infinite Scroll Strategy

Taboola Feed Replaces OTV’s Previous Infinite Scroll Strategy

OTV has always been invested in the experience their viewers have when consuming their content.

Part of that experience included an infinite scroll environment, which they’ve found to be effective. Prior to implementing Taboola Feed, they were using an infinite scroll version of the Taboola Widget.

The Taboola Feed improved user experience and increased revenue for OTV by bringing the engaging environment users are used to on social media platforms to their site, providing a mix of sponsored and organic content.

They look forward to expanding their relationship with Taboola through implementation of Taboola Feed and Taboola technologies on their mobile application. Increasingly impressed with the support of the Taboola team, OTV is also looking into Taboola Newsroom to support editorial efforts.
