Outbrain, a New York-based starteup, is a content recommendation engine that steers web readers to other stories within the site or to other sites that are relevant to the article they're reading, but the business is built on paid distribution, where big publishers such as Slate, USA Today and Conde Nast, which have all been using Outbrain's technology, pay to have articles show up on another site.

"Several companies have successfully built cooperative marketing structures online. Companies such as OwnerIQ, for example, enable online retailers like Crutchfield to retarget people who visit the web sites of electronics manufacturers, offering the flatscreen TVs they were just studying - at a discount.
