Behavioral targeting is a technique used by online publishers and advertisers to increase the effectiveness of their campaigns through information collected on an individual’s web-browsing behavior, as defined by Blue Fountain Media. When used properly, this type of targeting can yield high conversion rates because the marketer can customize the ad to appeal to its target market.
