We couldn’t have said it better…

Inquisitr_logoDuncan Riley over at Inquisitr gets it. From a post titled "The Outbrain Challenge: How Social Are You?":

"…here’s my challenge: if you are using Outbrain use the social features.

The reasons: it’s a value add to your readers, but more importantly if you are on the Outbrain network you’re getting links from sites who are being social. You’re taking from others and not giving back….and that’s in part greedy, in part just not very cool."

We couldn’t have said it better. While we do allow bloggers to decide whether network recommendations are enabled or disabled, we strongly encourage you to leave network recommendations on. Not only are you being more social by doing that, but you’d also be providing your readers with a much better service.

The notion of ‘keeping my users on my site’ is fairly false (unless you are Yahoo). Readers are going to be clicking away shortly after they visit your site. Might as well use that opportunity to delight them with personalized, recommended links.
