seen

• Only Google call it remarketing, everyone else uses retargeting

bought A also bought B

• Smallish windows of opportunity to “stalk”
• Don’t add any traffic restrictions
• Set a high budget
• Set a frequency cap around 3 per day to avoid being creepy

29. Tricks for best results on GDN
• Understand how running Adsense works as a publisher
• Use the Adplanner to research and refine your media buy - Know your ideal user and replicate
• Know the best size ads to target - Popularity vs. competitive - Above the fold
• Visit sites that send you a lot of traffic and work out a site specific strategy - even if the strategy is to kill the
source
• Use day-parting - Time of day and bid price increase, day of week, hour of day - 90% of fraud happens between 1am and
7am
• Track everything - Conversion Tags, Google Analytics - Whichever tool you feel comfortable with, but be consistent
• Don’t use automatic tagging with Adwords/Analytics
• Know the demographics - Run each in separate ad group - Consider running state by state, even city by city
• Don’t auto optimize too soon - Personally, I never let Google control my campaigns. I may lose out, but at least I know
