There are three options that you get to chose from for creating an audience just like LinkedIn. Those options are:
- URL equals

Add filter by URL
Once you click on the Add filter by URL option, You can add multiple URLs using AND operator. I found this option really cool. Here is how it will look like then.

Another thing I would like to predict that just like FaceBook and Google, Quora will also have a remarketing audience based on the conversion value.
2.3 Custom Audience on Quora
I have never seen such audience creation method before. Maybe, they exist and I might not be aware of that. But, the custom audience creation on Quora gives you a lot of flexibility in terms of inclusion and exclusion powered again by AND and OR operator. It looks something like this:

3. Lookalike Audience on Quora
A lookalike audience is used to create an audience list based on an existing audience list. This term called by the same name on Facebook ads and by “Similar Audience” name on Google ads. Quora lets you create a lookalike audience from an audience that exists. Just like Facebook, you can define your target size which is from one to ten percent.
4. List Match Audience on Quora
List Match audience is a list of Audience that you upload on the Quora ad platform to target the people in the form of email addresses. The email addresses could be your lead email address. You can also create a lookalike audience of the email addressed and target them in a separate campaign. Here is how it looks like on Quora:

While uploading the list, you just have to make sure that the file is a CSV file. If you do not want to hash the file, select the option to let Quora hash your email Address before uploading it on the ad platform.
