I was referring specifically to their paid same-site recommendation engines. So you drop it into an article, and it recommends other articles from your site. In my experience it's decent to good, depending on what metadata you provide it.

I agree that the '10 weight loss secrets' promoted junk to third party sites is bottom scraping.

It tarnishes both brands. Taboola and the hosting site.

Sufficiently that the in-site referrals fail for technical reasons.
