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.3 -
Unsolved How should I update the grouping of keywords in a google ads account
hi, I have a google adwords account running for a while in a fairly competitive market in a major city so there is only one geo location with many suburbs or council areas as popular searched. I have keywords that are 2-4 words long and very similar. I have had one keyword in its own campaign, several in one campaign and a location campaign. The location campaign has several adgroups for specific suburbs. My question is that the most popular search terms are similar but in different campaigns and I am wondering if this is not the best way. for example I have these keywords in separate campaigns as exact match and phrase match

rubbish removal
rubbish removal near me
rubbish removal Washington But the way google uses exact match seems to be changing and I am concerned these would be best in one adgroup. Also these keywords trigger similar phrases, for example, waste removal. Is it best to put them in one campaign with one ad group or one campaign with separate adgroups, or leave as is. As competition has increased I need to bid for top of page now and need to keep budget rises as little as possible..0 -
Keyword & negative keyword overlap
So I just read your blog on quality score and after reading the negative keyword section I'm a little confused and I need clarification. In that paragraph you mentioned about not overlapping your negative keywords with your active keywords and you used an example of dog food and dog bed. So my question is, if you put the word dog bed into the negative keyword list isn't the word dog the over lap word? Would you ad not show because the word dog is in the active keyword list?

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?

What audience size do you need for a successful retargeting campaign?
I recently launched a trial of a retargeting campaign but after a month I have only 100 impressions and 0 clickthroughs. I am working in a competitive space but I placed a relatively low bid because I read that retargeting campaign banner ads should cost less. The number of people who have been added to the retargeting list by visiting the site is under 10,000. What do you think is most likely to be the problem causing a low number of impressions and clickthroughs? Can a retargeting campaign be successful with a small audience size?
