ExeLate, a web based advertising startup from Israel, provides users with something called the ‘exeLate Targeting eXchange’ which relies on Delayed ads. Delayed ads are set up as users visit vertical-specific sites (such as travel, shopping, cars, etc.
) or do searches on a certain subject. Rather than directly triggering a relevant ad, ExeLate introduces a Delayed ad cookie; later on when any Partner Network has available ad space, they’ll ID the Delay cookie and display a pertinent delayed ad. ExeLate does not however, collect personal info, they don’t send out ads based on adult content, and they do not do behavioral targeting.

Some Questions About Exelate.com
Will this work? Do delayed ads have enough oomph? You won’t know the reason why a person was visiting site X, so displaying these delayed ads may not be relevant at all. What about those who delete their cookies–it won’t do anything for them.
