Abstract

A system for distributing information comprises at least one content source (2, 3), at least one client (4, 5), a communication network (6), a distribution server (1), a profile data base (10) associated with the distribution server (1) in which client profile information is stored, and a target count unit (9) in the distribution server (10) for effecting a target count by comparing the client profile information of the profile data base (10) with target client information of a target count request sent from one of the content sources (2, 3). Information from one of the content sources (2, 3) is distributed to at least one client (4, 5) by means of the distribution server (1) corresponding to the result of the target count effected by the target count unit (9).
