The Definitions
A Designated Market Area (DMA) is a geographic area of the US that represents specific television markets defined by, and annually updated by, Nielsen Media Research. There are currently 210 DMA markets in the U.S. A Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) is a geographical area defined by the federal Office of Management and Budget (OMB) that represents the metropolitan area of a city. As of June 6, 2003, the OMB has defined a total of 362 Metropolitan Statistical Areas. Ad Targeting DMA is the most common, and often preferred means of Geo targeting an ad campaign. In the realm of digital advertising, Google DoubleClick, arguably the largest ad serving platform, allows users to Geo target ads via Country, Region, City, Zip Code or "US Metro Areas", which is in fact DMA targeting. In order to achieve accurate MSA targeting for digital ad-serving it is recommended that one converts the desired MSA markets into a relevant City or Zip Code list.

What is Ad Verification? Ad verification is a technology service offered by Vendors to ensure that ads appear on intended sites, reach the targeted audience, and have been executed in a manner consistent with the terms of the campaign. Vendors providing this service include AdXpose, Adometry, Adsafe and Double Verify. What does Ad Verification track? Targeting parameters tracked thru Ad Verification include:
How does Ad Verification work? Ad verification services are generally integrated into ad campaigns using some form of tracking asset (ad tags, beacons, etc.). Whenever this "tracked" ad is served on a Publisher site a decision can be made by the ad verification service to "block" the ad - prevent the ad from appearing on a page - if the page does not meet the site, geographical, or content parameters that were laid out for the campaign. The Ad Verification vendor supplies a routine report to the agency and Publisher highlighting the number of ad calls that were blocked, by parameter, providing Publishers with an opportunity to troubleshoot and/or adjust campaign set up. What is required to implement Ad Verification? Not much. Once an ad campaign is contracted, the Ad Verification vendor typically requires that included Publisher sites provide a list of all site URLS where the tracked campaign is expected to run. Depending on the implementation method, the Publisher may also need to implement a tracking pixel for the campaign.
