Social network advertising uses a variety of targeting techniques such as geotargeting, socio-psychographic targeting, and behavioral targeting for the identification of detailed target groups. Advertisements are distributed over target groups or individual users based on the information gathered from the profiles of target groups. All these approaches work on the assumption that people from the same age group, gender, income-ranges, relationship statuses, or a specific geographic region share particular needs and have similar choices.These techniques have worked wonders for the field of advertising and marketing in the past as well. As the number of internet users and social networking sites continue to rise across the globe, these techniques will come across as the most important tools for social networking advertisers in the future years.

How Large is the Target Audience?

The number of internet users across the globe is currently 2.9 billion. This is nearly 40% of the global population.

The number of social networking site users increased by 25% in 2010. Nearly 50% women and 34% men in the U.S. visit Facebook a few times every day. South Africa has a rather smaller number of users and has only as much as 38% active users at any point of the time.

In Japan, the number of Twitter users increased by a stupendous 500% in the year 2010 alone.

What Makes Social Networking Sites so Important to Advertisers?

Most popular social networks are absolutely free for users, allowing marketers to reach their target audiences at a very low cost. Increased time spent on the internet and on social networking sites denotes that people are spending less time reading newspapers, on the road, or watching television – traditionally the most sought-after means for advertising.
