Retargeting
-
Hi There,
Need help!
Could somebody tell me how does retargeting from adwords work?. We have no impressions and its running...do visitors have to come from google adwords?, what we are looking for is that when somebody leaves the web, they see our ad...
Thanks!

great tips - just to add we have seen nice results with AdWords video retargeting as well

These guys hit the nail on the head, but I thought I'd throw my 2 cents in here and recommend Google Analytics Remarketing. We've seen an even better ROI on our retargeting users through Adwords using custom events and goals we set up in Google Analytics (also using it to exclude users has been valuable).
Right now, there are three ways to set up remarketing in Adwords:
- Set an individual pixel on a page you want to retarget to users who have seen (the original way, still useful to include in emails)
- Set an Adwords script on all your pages and then retarget based on pages they've hit.
- Google Analytics Remarketing (no need to install additional scripts on your page, just a small tweak to your GA script)
Do you know which way you set it up? That would make it easier to troubleshoot your issues. I take it you've set up an ad group to target that audience?

Adwords re-targeting shows ads to people who have been to your site and then go to other sites around the web. If you are not getting imp somethings to check are
Check if your list is gaining users - You have to have a minimum of 100 users to start to see impr
Check your ads are approved and not on hold
Check you have popular ad formats ie 300 x 250 or text ads
Check your bid price it may be too low
If you still have issue give google a call

Hi Eduardo!
How long have you had your retargeting campaign setup? It might also depending on how specific your settings are set. Retargeting is setup so whenever someone visits your site and then they visit another site on the ad network they'll see your ad, but this all depends on the budget you have and the competition in the market. If it's been awhile and you haven't received any impressions you might want to take a look at your settings to make sure everything was setup properly.

• googie-anaiytics[.]com
• vty68[.]net We have asked our Website vendor to scan and they found nothing. We would be greatly appreciated if you could help. I tried Google Search Console and even the tool Google Safe Browsing that Google itself suggested but both the tools showed that our website does not have any malicious links at all. And yet Google Ads support team keeps telling us our page contains these links. I am wondering if anyone in the community has experienced this before and how did you address this issue. Or could you guys please help to share any tools that you know can do a deep scan on this page and if possible our entire website to help us identify where the links are located? Please let me know if you need any additional information from us and I would be happy to provide it.1 -
Unsolved Google Ads Subdomain in sitelinks & Composition Change for Strategy Status
I have a basic query but could not find a definite answer on the internet. I am currently running a campaign for the main website of a big education brand and they also have a secondary learning website on subdomain, and I want to add sitelinks of subdomain to the campaign, but I am not sure whether it is allowed or not. The brand I am running ads for is https://www.rauias.com/ and the secondary website is https://compass.rauias.com/ branded slightly different in a subdomain, so should I add the sitelinks of Compass to the main campaign? Also one more silly question My Max Conversion search campaign gave me this status today. "Learning (composition change): Campaigns have been added to or removed from the bid strategy. Google Ads is now adjusting to optimize bids. 5 days left for learning" What does this mean exactly? And Why does it reenter the learning phase whenever I make a small change?

How would you respond to this doctor who demands to see his ads?
I work work for a health care system in the Midwest. We have a doctor in our transplant division who whenever we're in a meeting pulls out his phone and types in "kidney transplant" and ridicules me when our hospital is not on the page. I've long since given up trying to explain search intent to him (all the SERP results are showing information about kidney transplants, not information on where to get a transplant) along with trying to explain all the reasons why our ads don't necessarily show up on his phone despite us having a daily budget for that keyword. Without trying to explain how SEO or advertising online works, what would you do? I've toyed with eliminating advertising from the hospital zipcode so that I can just say we don't advertise in this zipcode at all, so of course our ads wouldn't pop up. I've also toyed with creating more informational content just so perhaps we can show up on the page, even though it's largely irrelevant (but I doubt we'd ever outrank the national brands that have written extensively on this). If someone types in "kidney hospital" or "transplant center" or anything relevant, we're instantly at the top of SERPs. But none of that matters to him. He only cares about showing up for "kidney transplant."

What are the best advertising platforms for B2C?
Recently, Google ads stop being as effective. Same ads, cost, and web pages, but not getting the same results. Our budget is $4500/mo and need to get at least $25,000 in sales before increasing the budget. What ad platforms have you had success with?

Retargeting and Display Advertising - Moz data
Hello Dr Moz'ers So we have a new competitor in our market (6 months) that has basically copied our business model 100%, grrrr. We have been in the market since 2008 .This new website is ranking well considering how difficult our market is. This new website is using the re-targeting display advertising and within 6 months his Moz data is showing around 45,000 back links, is this because of the re-targeting display advertising? Is there any link juice from the re-targeting display advertising because the MOz data says the site has 100% follow even though its an image. Cheers

Has anyone used Adroll (Facebook retargeting)with any success?
Hello! I am wondering if anyone out there has had a good experience with Adroll. I set up a campaign a couple months ago, but have yet to see any return on my investment. I'm now considering stopping this service because it seems to not be living up to its hype. What has your experience in using this service?

Cost of Retargeting (Remarketing) Ad Clicks
If you run an Adwords banner campaign with retargeting, how is the cost per click determined? My hunch is that it would be different than text ads in search result pages.
