Taboola

This website is absolutely unprofessional! From customer service to the people working on ads, all nutheads!
First the way you set up an advertising campaign is ridiculous! It publishes the campaign without uploading all the information and pictures needed. Then you have to go back and edit your campaign to add all the missing information.

Second, it takes them forever to publish your ad! They say it takes 2 business days, but that's a lie! It takes way longer than that! And if you try to email support, they won't answer you until another 2-3 days! What a joke!

Third, I eventually was able to start an advertising campaign with Taboola for my android app. I received hundreds of clicks, literally every day so many clicks that I was so happy my ad is successful. Then I went to my game dashboard, and there are not that many clicks, and absolutely no one installed the game! I emailed their useless customer support that this seems to be not very true clicks which could be scam. The first thing I received the next day was a deduction of $75 from my credit card to charge for this ad campaign I had with Taboola. Then they answered my email later that day asking for screenshots to prove my point that this is scam! Absolutely horrible service!

No matter what your business is, stay away from Taboola! THEY WILL STEAL YOUR MONEY!

I read that Taboola was a good way to advertise my Art Podcast so I found them online, the site suggested I create an account so I did, I entered my email address and it took me right to a page to start a campaign, it NEVER asked me to set up a password. I went ahead with the campaign set up, it took my info, my web link and then took me right to a page asking for a credit card? HELLO! Who sets up an ad campaign with NO BUDGET? Who sets up a campaign with NO START or END DATE? Remember when Gordon Ramsey put two pieces of bread on a girls ears and called her an IDIOT SANDWICH... that is exactly what the CEO of TABOOLA needs to do, put two pieces of old moldy bread on each ear, look in the mirror and say IDIOT SANDWICH really loud. You get NO MONEY from me and I suspect you are losing millions for the same reasons I've laid out here today. If you ever go to sell your company, potential buyers will read online reviews, in your case they will RUN because you company has no value. I saved all the emails I sent and all the responses I received, anyone looking at them can tell that you people don't give a rats $#*! about your (potential) customers. See the attached image with Links, if you have to ask your potential customers for all the details in an email because they couldn't get your site to work, then you failed... and on top of that... GUESS WHAT, THE LINKS DONT WORK EITHER! FAIL FAIL FAIL

1. Upon signing up, I didn't see the fine print that my card would have a $100 reserve placed on it.
2. I was not able to design and create my own ads. Instead info/images were taken from my designated URLs and ads were generated by their software program. A 600 pixel-wide square was snatched out of the middle of two of the 1700 pixel-wide images on the two URLs so the ads didn't make any sense and looked very stupid.
3. And yet the ads went live even though all I could see was a "PENDING" notice on my dashboard.
4. My site was supposedly reviewed and while in "PENDING" mode it ran anyway and the vast majority of impressions and clicks the first day were from China and India.
5. There is no feature to see what an ad looks like on a browser before or after it goes live.
6. When reviewing the sites I wanted blocked, I could not see what the actual URL was, so I had to look each URL up and see where my ads were going. Some of these were very difficult to discern.

I think Outbrain might be a better choice.

I am a publisher with a solid decade of experience with online advertising. I have worked and still work using Google AdSense, YuhuAds, EPOM, Taboola and other native ads. I have never had an issue with anyone of them when it comes to receiving my money EXCEPT with Taboola. I have been using Taboola for well over one year now, I have accumulated thousands of dollars in earnings but I have not been able to receive one dime. Why? Because Payoneer is probably the worst payment platform on earth and Taboola insists all its publishers must get paid using this same horrible Payoneer. For over a year I have been applying back and forth to Payoneer for my prepaid card so I can receive my earnings on Taboola but to no end. Payoneer will give you a thousand excuses. I keep mailing Taboola they keep directing me to the same Payoneer, this is the worst experience ever. Why can't Taboola make life easy for publishers and provide other alternative payment methods like SWIFT wire transfer (like Google AdSense and so many others) or even PayPal? Why must Taboola force us to use one payment method and subject us to untold suffering and hardship in the hands of Payoneer?
