Behavioral targeting is a technique used by Yahoo! to increase advertising effectiveness by showing ads to the right audience at the right time and place based on a user's online behavior. This helps Yahoo! identify qualified audiences, enlarge their audience reach, and target relevant ads to improve performance and return on investment. While it provides benefits to advertisers and users by showing more relevant ads, behavioral targeting also raises privacy and transparency concerns since it involves the anonymous tracking of users' online behaviors.
