    push traffic LPs feel stale need fresh angles

    Ok, so here's the thing. The moment someone tells me they're testing three headlines and two color schemes and calling it "diverse angles" I just wanna laugh. That's paddlin'.

    Native ad scaling trick - how I got a 67% CR lift on a nutra offer with Taboola

    Let me put my old man hat on - if your CR went up 67 percent, I gotta see the data. Usually, what happens is the offer or targeting is tweaked and you get a small lift. A 67 percent jump sounds like a statistical anomaly or maybe a cherry picked slice of data. I've seen a lot of these "tricks"...
