Demographic Targeting

Yahoo! Demographic Targeting: Maximize Your Messaging

Knowing whether an online visitor to your business is a teenage boy or a 65-year-old woman is useful information that can yield informative surprises. For example, your site might be more heavily visited by men but shows better conversion rates by women. This demographic insight could help you cater your creative and brand messaging to the audience segment that can help you achieve a more impressive ROI.

Yahoo! offers numerous targeting options to reach and optimize the right audience at scale. Among its most compelling options? Demographic targeting. Why? Unlike other demographic targeting services that try to guess age, gender, and household income based on a consumer’s online behaviors, Yahoo! demographic targeting is powered by information supplied by consumers themselves and sometimes supplemented by other trusted data sources.

Yahoo! demographic targeting enables you to target audiences on PC and mobile devices based on:

  • Age
  • Gender
  • Household income
  • Occupation
  • Presence of children
