Identify the pros and cons of using behavioral targeting for marketing

What will be an ideal response?


Behavioral targeting allows firms to match its ads to prospects based on the online behavior or target customers. Firms use cookies and codes to match their identities with their Web-browsing activities, and users' names and e-mail addresses, along with other personal details, are passed on to third-party companies. Advertising clients can target customers based on behavior, making ads more relevant to consumers. Firms gain higher click-through rates. More ad revenue is generated to support content development. However, consumers have concerns and feel that self-regulation is inadequate. Consumers would like to know what information is being collected and shared.
