class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-recommended-content-and-the-value-exchange\">Recommended Content and the Value Exchange<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As an audience engagement framework, the ultimate goal of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/grow-me-first-party-data-and-the-future-of-advertising\/\">Grow<\/a> is to provide a personalized browsing experience to your readers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A better browsing experience is the linchpin of what we call the value exchange \u2014 what we believe will encourage users to authenticate and consent to personalized content and advertisements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As such, Mediavine developed a personalized content recommendation engine that elevates the browsing experience for Grow users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is Recommended Content?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As opposed to <em>related content<\/em>, which is content that&#8217;s similar to the current post&#8217;s topic (and is a common feature on many sites, often shown at the end of an article), <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/recommended-vs-related-content\/\">recommended content<\/a> is displayed to the reader based specifically on their browsing activity and is intended to match their interests to encourage further exploration on the site, rather than just show more content on the same subject.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Without a recommendation engine, we couldn\u2019t deliver this personalized content and improved browsing experience that users expect before logging in and ultimately providing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/first-party-data-grow-me\/\">first-party data<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I could spend the next 30 minutes geeking out over machine learning and how our recommendation engine works, but I&#8217;ll stick to the first feature powered by this technology: <strong>Recommended Content<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\"

Content Widgets<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The initial way we\u2019re deploying the power of this personalized content recommendation engine is via a series of three widgets that will provide recommended content to readers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If a user is logged in, the widgets will display content from your site that a user is most likely to read based on what they\u2019ve favorited, shared and clicked on from other recommendation widgets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If a user is browsing anonymously, or is logged out, we\u2019ll use an engine similar to how Netflix recommends content \u2014 showing them content that they\u2019ll most likely want to see based on the behavior of other users who read the same article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Where will these widgets appear? That\u2019s up to you, via the Grow settings in your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/mediavine-dashboard-settings\/\">Mediavine Dashboard<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/recommended-content-1024x500.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-25584\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/recommended-content-1024x500.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/recommended-content-320x156.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/recommended-content-768x375.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/recommended-content-1536x749.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/recommended-content-1170x571.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/recommended-content-375x183.jpg 375w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/recommended-content-800x390.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/recommended-content-569x278.jpg 569w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/recommended-content-353x172.jpg 353w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/recommended-content-288x140.jpg 288w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/recommended-content-335x163.jpg 335w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/recommended-content-347x169.jpg 347w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/recommended-content-520x254.jpg 520w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/recommended-content-640x312.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/recommended-content.jpg 1603w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption><em>To enable these settings, you will first need to enable Grow.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-customize-grow-settings-in-the-mediavine-dashboard\">Customize Grow Settings in the Mediavine Dashboard<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While we work on a dedicated and separate Grow dashboard, we\u2019ve added the ability to customize your website&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/grow-me-widget-unveiling\/\">Grow settings<\/a> directly from the Mediavine Dashboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the same place where publishers can opt-in and enable Grow, you can now adjust your Grow settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This brand new section of the Dashboard lets you easily change your brand colors, adjust social networks, set minimum counts, elect to use Grow in your native search and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even more exciting?

definitely recommend you keep a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/rethinking-the-sidebar-less-is-more-for-rpm-ux-alike\/\">short sidebar<\/a> to ensure that your sticky sidebar ad unit sees optimal performance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We also generally recommend running things like About Us, Search and Recommended\/Top Content widgets in that space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As of right now, Grow can help you power the latter by offering a Recommended\/Top Content solution right in your sidebar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/optimize-ads-for-desktop-pagespeed\/\">desktop traffic<\/a> is generally a smaller percentage of your overall traffic, it&#8217;s the most valuable, and we see the sidebar widget as a good addition to the Header and Inline Content Recommendation Widgets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"690\" height=\"460\"

id=\"h-more-coming-soon\"><strong>More Coming Soon<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s important to note that the Recommended Content feature is new, and like so much of Grow, relies on your feedback and testing to improve. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It will also take some time for the Recommended Content engine to learn your site, so don&#8217;t judge the initial recommendations too harshly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While we\u2019re seeing great initial results from these three layout options, this is mostly about implementing the framework for the Recommendation Engine powering these widgets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With your help and based on your ongoing experiences with them, the actual widgets and placements will evolve over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please consider enabling them today. The more publishers who do, the more feedback we can gather and more testing we can run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Give Recommended Content a shot and help us learn what will help encourage your users to consume more of your content.
