With the aim to respond to your needs more quickly and appropriately, we have jotted down the most frequently asked questions about DSP Targeting.

Which third-party vendor should I use for Audience targeting? | All third-party data vendors work similarly in the manner in which they gather data and the types of data they collect and offer. However, not every vendor has access to the same data, so some vendors could have large pools of data while others don't have as much. Similarly, some vendors' data might not be as robust as others depending on where their data is coming from and what part of the data pool is being looked at, especially in regards to location. So how do you choose which to utilize? Vendor data is not transparent so the choice is yours. The best way to estimate reach is to use Forecaster to see the projected avails on any particular segment. |

We also recommend that the landing URL for the campaign has an age-gate that requires users that click on the ad to verify they are >18 before entering the site. |
