udn.com was seeking new ways to increase engagement with their content, as well as improve monetization and operational efficiency.

They started working with Taboola to tackle these goals, which included the implementation of a variety of Taboola products, including the Taboola Feed, Taboola Newsroom, Explore More and implementations on AMP pages and their mobile applications using Taboola’s software development kit (SDK).

Taboola deployed a dedicated team to optimize and customize the user interface (UI) of these products to suit udn.com’s unique needs, and have seen continuous growth since the implementation of these products.

Taboola Feed is a seamlessly integrated feed that provides readers with personalized content, enabling monetization of below-article placements.

fronts on all of their digital properties, on desktop and mobile devices,
including AMP pages and within their mobile app.

Inspired by common native app experiences, Taboola’s Explore More is
designed to help publishers keep site visitors on their pages longer; reengaging users by surfacing relevant content recommendations.

After implementing Taboola Feed and Explore More, udn.com’s native
advertising inventory section saw a 2x increase in revenue, a 2x increase
in RPM, and a .6% increase in CTR.

In addition, udn.com leverages Taboola Newsroom, an advanced
readership insights technology that leverages A.I. to power editorial
processes.
