Medium Large Uses Taboola Feed Across Desktop, Mobile, and AMP Pages Across Network of Websites to Scale Revenue

Medium Large is a network of sports news and mock draft sites that was working on expanding to other geographies when they started working with Taboola in 2017. Today, Taboola and Medium Large partner on 11 websites, and are engaged in a 5-year partnership.

In order to monetize traffic across their network of sports sites, Medium Large implemented Taboola Feed and video slider across all device and page types, including homepage and AMP pages.

Taboola Feed brings the familiar scrolling experience that consumers love on social networks to publishers’ sites across the open web. The streamlined user interface helps publishers engage readers, combat high bounce rates, and boost stagnant RPMs.

Within the Taboola Feed, Taboola’s in-feed video unit detaches as a user scrolls and becomes a slider unit, once the user scrolls past the card that contained the video.

Today, Medium Large focuses mainly on creating and building a fan base for organic video content on their article pages, YouTube pages and social media sites.

Medium Large values the advice of the Taboola account management team, and always takes an innovative approach to optimizing page performance on his sites, especially on mobile.

Medium Large looks forward to expanding their relationship with Taboola in the future and continuing to implement new innovative monetization and engagement features.
