Turning the Criteo Autoroll Widget off

As reported last month, I decided to try the Autoroll widget from Criteo. A month on, the 'similar' blogs remain pretty universally unsimilar, and the majority are positively unwelcome, so I'm off to delete it.

It's a shame, because the idea was interesting.

Paul,

I'm sorry to hear that you haven't found AutoRoll to be of use to you and your readers. Since we're still growing the network, out algorithm probably wasn't able to find enough blogs that were fully relevant to yours.

If you're still interested in the idea of what we have to offer a few months down the road, then you may want to give AutoRoll another try due to the fact that our install base will have grown dramatically by then.

Thanks again for your time and honesty!

Hi there, I'm not a Criteo evangelist but it does seem that it's going to take a few months until enough information is obtained and enough people start using it for it to become a useful tool and not an eyesore with random noise.

I'm going to watch how many people start using it and give it 6 months or so.

All the best,

Jonathan
