FAQ
Taboola questions
Pixel or S2S postback for Taboola?
When you use a tracker, S2S postbacks are usually more reliable. The pixel works well for simple direct setups.
Can I block bad sites based on data?
Yes. With site IDs in your tracker, you can see which placements pay and block the rest.
Do you run Taboola campaigns?
I focus on the tracking for native. Campaign management is available for Meta, TikTok and Google.
