Tactic #10: AdWords vs. Analytics Lists
• AdWords Remarketing Lists have come a long
way!
– Remember the bad old days?
– Page-specific lists, etc.
21. #thinkppc
Tactic #10: AdWords vs. Analytics Lists
• But Analytics still has an edge…
– Can segment users by pages visited.
– Can segment users by conversion goal (i.e. did
they engage with the site for longer than “X”
seconds? Or view a product video?).
– Can segment users by unique custom segments
using Analytics metrics/dimensions.

landing page?
– If so, why? They’ve already been there!
• Try a different page, or a page with altered
content.
– They’ve already done their research on what the
product is. Focus on selling it!

• Who you exclude can be just as important as
who you include.
– Targeting “All Visitors” versus “All Non-Converting
Visitors”
– Targeting “All Video Viewers” versus “All Video
Viewers who Liked the Video”
• i.e. Don’t pay to advertise to people who hate you!
