What kind of content can I amplify on Outbrain?
Outbrain can be used to distribute your own content as well as earned media. All campaigns must click through to a dedicated URL, and we accept the following landing page types:
- Article pages & blog posts
- Earned media
- Videos (must contain some descriptive text on the page)
- Search engine results page
- Home pages
- Product/landing pages
- App download pages
- Infographics
- Advertorials (with proper disclosure that follow Outbrain’s Advertorial Policies)
Please note, PDFs are not an accepted landing page format.
If you choose to promote video content, simply add the video link to a campaign in the same fashion you would any other content. Keep these helpful tips in mind:
- Promote video content in its own campaign. This will allow our system to drive the content to widgets specifically geared for this type of media.
- Include “[ video ]” in your title. This will let our readers know that they are clicking video content. Transparency is key to ensure better engagement.
- Include text on your video page. Our system will be able to use this data to better recommend your content and reach the most relevant audiences.
