Adwords now has demographics? (US only)

Sourced From https://adwords.google.com/support

What is demographic site selection?

Demographic site selection is a way to find and run your ads on sites with the right audience for your AdWords campaigns.

A demographic group is an audience that shares a particular trait or characteristic. This trait might be age, gender, income or some other factor. If your product appeals to young women, for instance, you might want to target sites which are popular with the female demographic, the 18-24 age demographic or both.

Online retailer Ferrit.co.nz seems to have won more publicity for paying off the owners of the web domain Ferrit.com, which hosted pornography, than it has for its new online shopping service. Kiwi web surfers have paid relatively slight attention to the site’s arrival.

According to data from web monitor Nielsen//NetRatings, through most of January daily unique visits to Ferrit have been floating between 2000 and 3000.

The Performance Network

During 2005 we encountered a lot of demand from advertisers, publishers and agencies for new ways to place, run and pay for online advertising campaigns. There was a lot of interest in “cost per click” (CPC), “cost per lead” (CPA) and “cost per sale” (CPS) models.

This demand has been stimulated by overseas trends that now sees these forms of ad payment set to out strip the more traditional CPM rate card. Of course much of the CPC market is being driven by Google, Yahoo and MSN Search.
