It offers the fastest sharing buttons among plugins, and we are extremely happy with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p>The Grow you know isn\u2019t going anywhere any time soon, and the features you&#8217;ve come to love are all still there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We&#8217;re still working on this terrific product and are excited about improvements such as the inclusion of our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/optimize-ads-for-mobile-pagespeed\/\">Optimize for PageSpeed<\/a> mode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, however, we&#8217;re focused on the next iteration and its next round of features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-grow-what-is-it\">Grow: What is it?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, Grow is a thing. A very cool thing that uses technology similar to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/mediavine-script-wrapper-2-0-is-live-heres-what-that-is-and-why-its-awesome\/\">Mediavine Script Wrapper<\/a>. (Dig into the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/what-is-grow-me\/\">latest news about Grow<\/a> and discover the features we\u2019ve already incorporated, or read on for an overview.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s what the tech industry calls SaaS (Software as a Service). Compared to the slower release cycle you normally see with WordPress plugins, Mediavine\u2019s ad technology is built so that our engineers can rapidly test and deploy new features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019re bringing the speed of development and stability that you\u2019ve come to expect from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/what-is-mediavine-ad-management-and-so-much-more\/\">Mediavine Ad Management<\/a> to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/mediavine-launches-grow-with-the-acquisition-of-social-pug-and-optin-hound-wordpress-plugins\/\">Grow<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It also means that Grow will work on non-WordPress sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re a current Grow Social Pro user, fear not; Grow won&#8217;t replace the current product. Grow will run in tandem with it while providing additional bonus features for Grow Social Pro paid users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"575\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Quick_Pizza_Dough_-_Sugar_Dish_Me-1024x575.jpg\" alt=\"Desktop Screenshot of Sugar Dish Me using Grow.me\" class=\"wp-image-28732\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Quick_Pizza_Dough_-_Sugar_Dish_Me-1024x575.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Quick_Pizza_Dough_-_Sugar_Dish_Me-320x180.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Quick_Pizza_Dough_-_Sugar_Dish_Me-768x431.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Quick_Pizza_Dough_-_Sugar_Dish_Me-1536x862.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Quick_Pizza_Dough_-_Sugar_Dish_Me-2048x1150.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Quick_Pizza_Dough_-_Sugar_Dish_Me-480x270.jpg 480w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Quick_Pizza_Dough_-_Sugar_Dish_Me-1170x657.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Quick_Pizza_Dough_-_Sugar_Dish_Me-375x211.jpg 375w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Quick_Pizza_Dough_-_Sugar_Dish_Me-800x449.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Quick_Pizza_Dough_-_Sugar_Dish_Me-369x208.jpg 369w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Quick_Pizza_Dough_-_Sugar_Dish_Me-569x319.jpg 569w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Quick_Pizza_Dough_-_Sugar_Dish_Me-353x198.jpg 353w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Quick_Pizza_Dough_-_Sugar_Dish_Me-288x162.jpg 288w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Quick_Pizza_Dough_-_Sugar_Dish_Me-335x188.jpg 335w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Quick_Pizza_Dough_-_Sugar_Dish_Me-347x195.jpg 347w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Quick_Pizza_Dough_-_Sugar_Dish_Me-520x292.jpg 520w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Quick_Pizza_Dough_-_Sugar_Dish_Me-640x359.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-grow-favorites-and-social-sharing-button\">Grow Favorites and Social Sharing Button<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>All Mediavine publishers are invited to request beta access to the first new feature, a floating Grow Favorite and Social Sharing Button on the bottom right of their websites (you can see those in action on Director of Publisher Support Heather&#8217;s site, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sugardishme.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sugar Dish Me<\/a>, above).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This new button is easily enabled via your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/new-ad-unit-reports\/\">Dashboard<\/a> (once you&#8217;re opted in to the beta) via a single toggle, and it automatically loads via the Script Wrapper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Grow button turns your website into a social network of its own, providing users the ability to like your content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even better? As this feature is rolled out, when a user logs into Grow, they\u2019ll be able to save their favorite posts across any websites that have opted in to this feature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moreover, users will easily be able to access their bookmarks from any website running Grow, or from Grow directly.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Users can easily authenticate using Google, Facebook or email, and stay logged in across Mediavine sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plus, publishers already running the Grow Social Pro WordPress plugin can now get their latest social counts, from popular social networks like Facebook and Pinterest, automatically displayed in the bottom right of their post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"968\" height=\"604\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/future-of-grow-1.png\" alt=\"grow bookmarks screenshot\" class=\"wp-image-35584\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/future-of-grow-1.png 968w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/future-of-grow-1-320x200.png 320w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/future-of-grow-1-768x479.png 768w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/future-of-grow-1-375x234.png 375w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/future-of-grow-1-800x499.png 800w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/future-of-grow-1-569x355.png 569w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/future-of-grow-1-353x220.png 353w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/future-of-grow-1-288x180.png 288w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/future-of-grow-1-335x209.png 335w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/future-of-grow-1-347x217.png 347w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/future-of-grow-1-520x324.png 520w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/future-of-grow-1-640x399.png 640w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/future-of-grow-1-960x599.png 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 968px) 100vw, 968px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-future-of-grow\">The Future of Grow<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For the first time ever, Grow is now available for non-WordPress publishers. While they\u2019re currently limited to the Social Share and Favorites button, more features are coming soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We see this new style as the next evolution of Grow. We plan to migrate more and more of the Social Pro features you love in Grow to this new service, so that more people on more platforms have access to these awesome features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-about-opt-ins\">What About Opt-Ins?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Yup. It\u2019s already a part of the new Grow and more is coming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As part of this service, we\u2019re building out the lead generation and opt-in capabilities of Grow. In the future, when users log in to save favorites from your website, they\u2019ll be given the ability to opt-in to your newsletter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019re adding the ability for you to add newsletter subscribers to popular services, as well as helping you create other opt-in opportunities in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-about-custom-search\">What About Custom Search?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We know this is a popular feature request among users out there, and we&#8217;re investigating how to add this feature in the best possible way.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-about-importing-from-other-services\">What About Importing From Other Services?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We&#8217;re researching if it&#8217;s possible. Unlike with recipe cards or similar, the data isn&#8217;t stored on your website, so importing from one service to another is not as straightforward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-much-does-it-cost\">How Much Does it Cost?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The baseline version of Grow, which includes the sharing button and favorites feature, are both free for Mediavine publishers. Social share counts are exclusive to users who have paid for a WordPress <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/grow-social-pro-how-do-i-customize-this-plugin\/\">Grow Social Pro<\/a> plugin membership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We will attempt to release as many features as we can for free along the way, but certain aspects will require payment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ll keep you updated with more information as Grow continues to develop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-will-grow-slow-down-your-site\">Will Grow Slow Down Your Site?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As with everything at Mediavine, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/mediavines-pagespeed-resources\/\">pagespeed<\/a> is the top priority and this is no exception. Like the Script Wrapper it&#8217;s modeled after, Grow is lightweight and built for speed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During development our engineers employed the latest technologies, including web workers, code splitting and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/lazy-loading-ads-mediavine-ads-load-200-faster\/\">lazy loading<\/a> in order to minimize any impact on your page load.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-third-party-cookie-solution\">Third Party Cookie Solution<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The programmatic advertising industry was built on what are known as third-party cookies. Without getting too deep into <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/what-are-cookies-and-why-do-they-matter-for-advertising\/\">what cookies are<\/a>, they&#8217;re what allow advertisers to target readers on your site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, Safari is already blocking them and Google Chrome is joining the fray in less than two years, as privacy concerns push the industry away from third-party cookies and toward first-party data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Without third-party cookies, advertisers are going to <strong>rely on your first-party data<\/strong> to help them identify potential customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In short, <strong>publishers will have to provide first-party data<\/strong> if they want to earn high CPMs on the programmatic market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you feel like you&#8217;re in the dark, you&#8217;re not alone. Most independent publishers don&#8217;t even know what first party data is, let alone have it, and this is a major change from how online advertising has traditionally worked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First-party data is when the website itself (the website owner is the first party) is collecting information about its readers and passing that information on to potential buyers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s the most likely solution to a world where we can no longer identify users with a third-party cookie, and provides an incredible opportunity for Mediavine publishers and Grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Grow is, first and foremost, built as a personalized browsing experience for your audience. It&#8217;s going to offer real value, encourage readers to log in to save their favorites, build recipe boxes, share content and everything else they&#8217;ll love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As your readers become Grow subscribers, you&#8217;ll be compiling first-party data along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In two years, when Google <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/google-chrome-to-phase-out-third-party-cookies-as-privacy-concerns-reshape-ecosystem\/\">Chrome phases out the third-party cookie<\/a>, Mediavine publishers adopting Grow will be years ahead of the competition and poised to enjoy the rewards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-opt-in-now\">Opt In Now!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have any questions, suggestions or feedback on Grow, please email <a href=\"mailto:grow.me@mediavine.com\">grow.me@mediavine.com<\/a>. Part of the reason Mediavine Ad Management has become so successful is because of you. Now we\u2019re asking you to help us do the same with Grow by enabling it in your dashboard.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a community, we can build the next social network and take control of our sites, traffic and data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So let\u2019s Grow together, if you will.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sorry, I&#8217;ll show myself out now.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/section>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<section class=\"wp-block-group
