• Placement targeting is the most obvious method available
• Choose the websites you want to appear on
• This method is effective for targeting demographics who will read websites about specific topics
• Special interest groups are often most easily targeted using this method
• Use the DoubleClick Ad Planner to help find placements that carry GDN adverts

• Contextual targeting is the most common on AdWords
• Create a keyword list and Google will assess the theme of your keywords
• If your theme matches closely to that of the page, then you will be eligible to show ads on that page
• This method gives you the most control but can be the most difficult to use

• Topic targeting is like contextual targeting but more broad
• You can choose from a pre-defined list of page topics to target
• This provides more transparency than contextual targeting, but with less granularity of targeting available

• If a person has consistently browsed pages about a particular topic in the recent past, then you can target that person wherever they are browsing now
• This is Google’s version of behavioural advertising, but all user data is aggregated and anonymised
• View your own interest categories in Google’s Ads Preferences Manager

• This is not new customer acquisition. Everybody in a remarketing list has visited your site before
• Remarketing is usually used in two ways:
– Increase the overall conversion rate of your site, by keeping yourself on people’s minds while the compare suppliers
– Be more aggressive with other targeting methods when showing ads to anybody who has been to your site before

• Remarketing and interest categories allow you to segment your audiences in custom combinations
• By utilising multiple remarketing lists with different pages viewed or cookie lengths you can target people in increasingly clever ways
• EvoEnergy target most users using two remarketing lists and one combination:
– Visited the site in the last two days
– Visited the site in the last 14 days
– In the latter list but not the former

• Manage each targeting method based on the cost per lead
• There is no reason to have different cost per lead targets from search!
