Editor's Notes

  1. It tends to be brand search and re-targeting which do well in the last click modelBUT.... For these channels to drive any volumesYou need to build a brand if you want people to search for itAnd you need to get people to your site BEFORE you can re-target them.Focusing on these channels at the expense of others will make it hard to grow your baseFrom a search perspective generic searches are usually happening before a brand one and giving all the credit to the brand search and none to the generic search will in the end mean you will optimise out the generic term which was the initial driver. That way you will limit your reach and ultimately you are limiting yourself to only existing customers. New customers and new credit customers will be limited when focusing optimisation on last converting click only.

  3. One tag will generate one user listā€¦ You can place the tag anywhereā€¦ It can collect users for up to 18 monthsā€¦ And every list can be combined with one another.
