Lookery is assembling anonymous profiles on more than a hundred million people. Using this data and our 160M+ page-per-month Facebook ad network, we will raise the price paid for billions of remnant Internet ad impressions each day. We collect profiles from and with the permission of social networks, dating sites, ISPs, and e-commerce sites. We aggregate those profiles into demographic targeting services, both as an ad network for sites without profiles and as user targeting services for other ad networks. When Lookery gets paid, we revenue share back to the profile contributors, providing them a new revenue stream, completely detached from their site traffic.
