Behavioral Targeting is an amazing way to reach a highly specified audience. Behavioral Targeting can be done on both DesMoinesRegister.com and Yahoo!
How does it work?
Behavioral Targeting is based on the knowledge of what other sites our readers frequently visit. For example, a consumer who visits several golf sites for merchandise or golf information is labeled as a Golf Enthusiast. We track this information through “cookie string technology” as those cookies of their web browsing history travel with them. It is essentially their online DNA.
