ReTargeting or Remarketing and How Does it Work?

Re-targeting is one of the form of search re targeting which is used by online marketers that target an audience based on the previous searches they conduct on other websites. the vast majority of people are just not going to convert the first time they visit your site.

That’s why re-targeting is very important part of any online strategy because it allows you to position targeted ads in front of an audience that had already visited your website.

Retargeting converts window-shoppers into buyers, 95% visitors returned without any purchase and re-targeting help to convert those visitors to prospective lead by displaying ads as per their behaviour on your website.


How does Re-targeting work?

Retargeting is a cookie-based technology that uses simple Java script code to anonymously ‘follow’ your audience all over the Web. Once a visitor enters your website and go through it, a cookie is set in their browser and you can use this information to “re-target” them with ads based on their interactions.

We used two types of Retargeting or Remarketing-

1- Pixel Based Re-targeting
2- List Based Re-targeting

Type of Ads :


Floating ad: An ad which moves across the user's screen or floats above the content.

Trick banner: A banner ad that looks like a dialog box with buttons. It simulates an error message or an alert.
Pop-up: A new window which opens in front of the current one, displaying an advertisement, or entire webpage.
Pop-under: Similar to a Pop-Up except that the window is loaded or sent behind the current window so that the user does not see it until they close one or more active windows.
Video ad: similar to a banner ad, except that instead of a static or animated image, actual moving video clips are displayed. This is the kind of advertising most prominent in television, and many advertisers will use the same clips for both television and online advertising.
Map ad: text or graphics linked from, and appearing in or over, a location on an electronic map such as on Google Maps.
Mobile ad: an SMS text or multi-media message sent to a cell phone.
Superstitial: An animated adv on a Web page from Enliven Marketing Technologies. It uses video, 3D content or Flash to provide a TV-like advertisement.

Interstitial ad: a full-page ad that appears before a user reaches their original destination.


Some common ways in which online advertising is purchased:-

CPM (Cost Per Mille), also called "Cost Per Thousand (CPT), is where advertisers pay for exposure of their message to a specific audience. "Per mille" means per thousand impressions, or loads of an advertisement. However, some impressions may not be counted, such as a reload or internal user action.

CPV (Cost Per Visitor) is where advertisers pay for the delivery of a Targeted Visitor to the advertisers website.

CPV (Cost Per View) is when an advertiser pays for each unique user view of an advertisement or website (usually used with pop-ups,

pop-unders and interstitial ads).
CPC (Cost Per Click) is also known as Pay per click (PPC). Advertisers pay each time a user clicks on their listing and is redirected to their website. They do not actually pay for the listing, but only when the listing is clicked on. This system allows advertising specialists to refine searches and gain information about their market. Under the Pay per click pricing system, advertisers pay for the right to be listed under a series of target rich words that direct relevant traffic to their website, and pay only when someone clicks on their listing which links directly to their website. CPC differs from CPV in that each click is paid for regardless of whether the user makes it to the target site.

CPA (Cost Per Action) or (Cost Per Acquisition) advertising is performance based and is common in the affiliate marketing sector of the business. In this payment scheme, the publisher takes all the risk of running the ad, and the advertiser pays only for the amount of users who complete a transaction, such as a purchase or sign-up. This model ignores any inefficiency in the sellers web site conversion funnel.
Similarly, CPL (Cost Per Lead) advertising is identical to CPA advertising and is based on the user completing a form, registering for a newsletter or some other action that the merchant feels will lead to a sale.

Also common, CPO (Cost Per Order) advertising is based on each time an order is transacted.

CPE (Cost Per Engagement) is a form of Cost Per Action pricing first introduced in March 2008. Differing from cost-per-impression or cost-per-click models, a CPE model means advertising impressions are free and advertisers pay only when a user engages with their specific ad unit. Engagement is defined as a user interacting with an ad in any number of ways.

Cost per conversion Describes the cost of acquiring a customer, typically calculated by dividing the total cost of an ad campaign by the number of conversions. The definition of "Conversion" varies depending on the situation: it is sometimes considered to be a lead, a sale, or a purchase.

Domain Name Importance in SEO

Domain Name : How Important in SEO?



A domain that has key words related with your product will get you good results.

The Right Domain Name = The Right Anchor Text

Use hyphenated domain. If you are using www.usa-top-bank.com. Google will read it www usa top bank com because it treats (dots) and – (hyphens) as a space.

Some Points to chose Domain Name:

 Put the main keyword of your business in the URL. In this way, even if other websites link to your website using your business name as anchor text, you will get SEO benefits.
 Select name as per popularity of your company or products. Make a short list of keywords related to your company, business, service or profession.
 Try to avoid very long name of your website.
 Do not stuff the domain name with too many keywords

When choosing a domain name for SEO purposes, there are three main factors to consider:

 Brand
 Rankability
 Linkability
