Re: I think I can define ClickBait as

"Outbrain and tombola - sites I completely block in my firewall."

Until now I have never heard of those two sites. By the sound of it, hopefully I'll never hear about them again.

Arggh, despite Giovani giving the correct name, I cocked it up in my reply.

As he says, it's taboola not tombola

For completeness, here is my personally compiled list of similar clickbait sites. Of course, check them out before blocking them - some may be dead now, or may have cleaned up their act. More importantly, never trust random-person-on-internet-especially-when-hes-a-self-described-welsh-git!

# Kill these zones belonging to either deceptive ad companies, or crappy tacky 'content based'

# click-bait ad-servers, which generally link to a page that links to the link (along with

# others). They usually have a misleading sensationalist headline too. Kill them with fire!
