The general impression in the advertisement market and general blogosphere regarding behavioral data and its effect on reaching customer is that it is the impressions themselves and not the raw, factual data is the most important. It does, in fact, appear that this will be the new exchange model for advertisement companies interested in dominating the online display industry.
