DoubleClick Targeting Criteria  

Content Targeting "...allows you to place your advertising message on a particular site or within an entire interest category. Content Targeting allows you to be sure that your message is being delivered to an interested audience. Content can be targeted through the [seven] Networks."

Behavioral Targeting "...allows you to select an audience based on how they use the Web. Advertisers can select business users by having their advertisements delivered Monday-Friday between 9 and 5, or recreational users by targeting messages in the evening hours. Response rates can be increased by limiting frequency, or by using psychographic targeting to bias ads towards users most likely to respond."

Psychographic Targeting lets you "...bias your ads towards users who are most likely to respond."

Frequency Control: "Maximize your ad budget by limiting the number of exposures per individual. Research has shown that response rates dramatically decline after 3-4 exposures."

Hour & Day Control: "Select the days and times when you want your banner displayed."

User Targeting "...allows you to deliver advertisements based on the specific traits of your audience, including their geographic location, industry, or even the company they work for."

Geographic Targeting: "Select your audience based on where they live or work. You can target by Country, State or Zip code."

Domain Type (.com, .edu): "Select an audience based on organizational affiliation. Reach college students by targeting .edu or reach government employees by targeting .gov."

Company Name: "Target your ads to specific companies based on their domain registration."

Industry Type: "Select a US government Standard Industrial Classification Code (SIC Code) to target your ads to a particular industry segment."

Business Size: "Target companies based on Dun & Bradstreet earnings and workforce size rankings."

Tech Targeting "...allows you to target an audience based on user hardware, software and Internet access provider. Target users of a certain browser or Operating System type or select user types based on Internet Service Providers (ISPs)."
