Taboola Signs New Deal with Pro Football Network; Partnership Sees Pro Football Network Increase Revenue by 256% in Under Six Months

Pro Football Network Maximizes Taboola Implementations and Tests New Offerings to Drive Further Engagement, Audience Development and Monetization in Light of the 2022 NFL Season

New York, NY – Taboola (Nasdaq: TBLA), a global leader in powering recommendations for the open web, today announced a new partnership with Pro Football Network, a destination for football that is committed to delivering purposeful, captivating and exceptional sports content, reaching nearly 10 million page views per year. 

To date, Pro Football Network has used several Taboola offerings, such as Taboola Feed, a seamlessly integrated feed that provides readers with personalized content, including video, for a more engaging experience. Additionally, Pro Football Network has implemented Taboola’s Read More feature, which helps publishers engage mobile users before they bounce by raising the visibility of below-article units higher up on the page while enabling interested users to continue reading the full article. Pro Football Network has also integrated Taboola’s Explore More product across its network, an offering designed to keep users visiting publisher sites directly from social media and apps, increasing engagement. Lastly, Pro Football Network has adopted Taboola Newsroom, a technology offering that uses advanced A.I. and readership signals from more than 500 million daily active users.

Since Pro Football Network’s complete transition over to Taboola in April 2022, it has seen a 256% increase in revenue.

As part of a growing relationship with Taboola, Pro Football Network will look to add Taboola’s mid-article placements to its website, allowing for new revenue opportunities and ways to both engage readers and improve the user experience.

“At Pro Football Network, we’re constantly looking for ways to improve our digital properties, which reach hundreds of thousands fans every day,” said Matthew Cannata, CEO at Pro Football Network. “We transitioned to Taboola due to their expansive offerings, such as Feed and Read More, and we’ve already seen incredible results from this new partnership. We’re excited to have Taboola on board as a key discovery partner to help us continue to achieve our ambitious revenue goals while also providing good UX for our readers.”
