There is white text not visible to the left of bars At the request of AudienceScience, Jupiter Research, a Forrester Research company, conducted an independent unbiased study of online consumers on how online tools and advertising strategies fit into shopping behaviors and preferences with respect to shopping (defined as either research and or purchasing products or services online). In November 2008, JupiterResearch designed and fielded a survey to online consumers selected randomly from the NPD US online consumer panel. A total of 2,151 individuals responded to the survey. Respondents were asked approximately 6 closed-ended questions about their behaviors, attitudes and preferences as they relate to online shopping. Respondents received an e-mail invitation to participate in the survey with an attached URL linked to the Web-based survey form. The samples were carefully balanced by a series of demographic characteristics to ensure that they were representative of the online population. Demographic weighting variables included age, gender, household income, household education, household type, region, market size, race and Hispanic ethnicity. Additionally, JupiterResearch weighed the data by AOL usage, online tenure, and connection speed (broadband versus dial-up), three key determinants of online behavior. Balancing quotas are derived from JupiterResearch's Internet Population Model which relies on US Census Bureau data and a rich foundation of primary consumer survey research to determine the size, demographics and ethnographics of the US online population. The survey data are fully applicable to the US online population within a confidence interval of plus or minus three percent. In this survey effort, JupiterResearch worked with its research partner, NPD, on the technical tasks of survey fielding, sample building, balancing, and data processing. NPD is one of the largest market research companies in the US and maintains a general research panel of 4 million individuals, of which 750,000 are kept "active". The active panel receives surveys while inactive panelists are rested. This rotation in and out of active status helps keep panelists fresh and prevents burnout. Panel-based market research enables researchers to have baseline knowledge of each survey respondent, increase survey participation rates, and permit careful rationing of survey fielding to reduce survey burnout.

Same methodology manufacturers use to create products needs to be applied to how advertisers build audiences. The more thought and analysis advertisers use to create segments, the better their results will be.
I look at how television has been bought for so long. Large swaths of demographics, largely determined by the content of the program. Isn’t this an attempt at behavioral targeting? Based on the content you are consuming, assumptions are made about who you are and what you like. With online, we can take this rough approximation and create a granularity and accuracy never before experienced.
