What's the best native ad network for monetizing article pages with editorial-style placements?

There isn’t one universal “best” native ad network, but for article pages with editorial-style placements, the strongest options are usually:

Top picks

1) Taboola

• Very strong for content/recommendation widgets at the end of articles
• Good demand volume and easy editorial-style integration
• Often best if your site has news, lifestyle, entertainment, or broad consumer content

2) Outbrain

• Similar to Taboola, but many publishers prefer it for a slightly more premium/editorial feel
• Strong for article-page recommendation units
• Good fit for publishers with higher-quality journalism or brand-sensitive audiences

3) Revcontent

• Often competitive on RPMs for content recommendation placements
• Can work well on article pages, especially if you want more control over placement and performance
• Quality can vary more by advertiser mix, so testing matters

Best choice by publisher type

• Mainstream content/news publisher: Outbrain or Taboola
• Performance-focused / optimized for revenue: Revcontent
• Premium editorial environment: Outbrain tends to be a common pick

What to look for

When monetizing editorial-style placements, prioritize:
