Targeting ads by user profilie on campaign side

Tuesday, August 11th, 2009

Question:

can we be able to select any or all of the below filters as per advertiser requirements on campaign side.

a. Age
b. Gender
c. Location (state, city)
d. Industry (predefined list eg, accounting, arts, it, finance etc)
e. Interest (predefined list eg, movies, music, health, sports etc)
f. Keyword tagging (predefined length which can contain a string of tags passed by publisher)
g. Relationship status (predefined list eg, married, single, etc).

Answer:

Currently, we don’t have any above targeting functionality in openx as openx does not know user profile data. It requires some customization. You can do this by variable targeting in openx but it wont give good UI in campaign side. You can refer below mods which allow to targeting by user profile

similarly can modify for more properties like industrial category, user interest, keyword tagging and relation status.

Keyword targeting in openx

Question:

Are categories/keywords tags? Can there be more than one per site/publisher?

Answer:
We have a mod for keyword targeting…

The idea behind keyword targeting is that you have a list of keywords (food, shoes, sportsgoods, etc.) appropriate to your site/sites. You then assign one or more keywords to ads, and, instead of using a normal zone tag (which selects an ad from those linked to the zone), you use a direct selection tag with the appropriate keyword to select an ad from those with that keyword.
