  When you buy paid hosting and move off WordPress.com. You cannot use Outbrain on a WordPress.com blog.

  Also: do you know how much Outbrain costs???

  The model works a bit like google, you set your budget that you want to spend. I think as a rule of thumb about 15 cents per click to your site.

  I know people that use it and they generate good growth in traffic.

  So do I. Their Outbrain budget is $5000 per week.

  Hi,

  It depends on what you want to do with Outbrain. If you want to use their “Amplify Your Content” offering ( http://www.outbrain.com/amplify/ ), you can do that.

  If you select the RSS option, you can add /feed/ to the end of your site’s address for your site’s RSS feed.

  If you’d like their engagement or other analytics offerings (that require code being added to your site), you cannot use that on WordPress.com.

  Cheers!
