TARGETING BASED ON CONSUMER ONLINE BEHAVIOUR CREATES MASSIVE LIFT IN AD RESPONSIVENESS

Redwood City, California (ots/PRNewswire)

- Increases Click Rate Responses by up to 30 Fold
Online ads that are shown to consumers based on in-category
behaviours have a substantial impact on responsiveness according to
independent research conducted by Feedback Research
(www.feedbackresearch.com), a division of Claria(SM) Corporation.
The recent study, utilizing BehaviourLink's behavioural insights
platform, highlighted how behavioural targeting technology can
dramatically increase the response rates of standard IAB banner ad
units within publisher Web sites. The study examined run of site ads
from sixteen Travel, Finance, Personals and Retail advertisers at a
major portal. The ads were evaluated on initial click rate responses
from consumers whose recent behaviour indicated an interest in these
categories versus the response rates of consumers who hadn't showed
any similar category interest in the past two weeks.
"This study is the first to conclusively show how targeting
consumers' relevant commercial behaviour can drive a massive lift in
the performance of ad campaigns," commented Jeff McFadden, president
and CEO of Claria Corporation. "Given that we have the technology to
produce results of this magnitude, we are in a unique position to use
the BehaviourLink network to work with publishers to deliver these
types of results for all advertisers."
Behaviourally Targeted Ads Provide up to 30 Times the Lift as
Untargeted Ads
    -- Consumers who exhibited category behavviour and were shown an ad fo
       that same category within one hour, were on average, 14 times more
       likely to respond than consumers who had not exhibited a category
       behaviour in the past two weeks.
    -- The Retail category showed the greatest lift with consumers. Those
       category consumers shown an ad within one hour of exhibiting a
       category behaviour were 30 times more likely to respond than consumers
       who had not exhibited a category behaviour in the past two weeks.
    -- Even when relevant ads were shown days or weeks after observing a
       related behaviour, response rates were up to 360% higher than run of
       site ads:
       - Finance +360% lift (1.86% vs. .41%)
       - Travel +210% lift (.74% vs. .24%)
       - Personals +120% lift (.40% CTR vs. .14%)
       - Retail +110% lift (2.3% CTR vs. 1.1%)
    -- Consumers who exhibited a category behaviour, and then received a
       category ad at a run of site (ROS) section within an hour of that
       behaviour, responded more favorably than consumers who saw that same
       ad contextually within the vertical section of the Web site:
       - In the Travel category, ads that were shown in the travel section
         achieved a 1.03% click rate versus a 2.02% response rate of the
         behaviourally targeted ROS ads displayed outside the Travel category
         within 1 hour.
    -- In terms of the impact of frequency, there was no decline in response
       rates for the first three impressions when the ads were behaviourally
       targeted.
"Results like these are not surprising given that our Institute's
research shows that consumers are tired of the barrage of untargeted
advertising and that they would respond more favorably to ads that
were relevant to them," added Dr. Larry Ponemon, Chairman of Ponemon
Institute. "This not only improves consumers' response to relevant
ads but also enhances consumers' trust and confidence in publisher
Web sites."
