It is quite evident that a majority of the internet marketers are satisfied with the results of behavioral marketing and most of them are already using them as a key component of their marketing endeavor. The major 3 advantages of behavioral targeting are – (1) higher amount of click-throughs (35%), (2) higher amount of conversions (26%), and enhanced degree of rate of investment (ROI).
