And it works!
        “More that 95% of visitors who browse a retailer’s site do not
        complete a transaction in their visit.”



       “Retargeted consumers are nearly 70 percent more likely to
       complete a purchase as compared to non retargeted consumers.”



       “Retargeted customers spend, on average 50% more than those
       served with non-retargeted banner ads.”

Okay, but we are SEO’s…

How can we leverage retargeting for SEO success?
#1 : Break down the silo

   SEOs & Paid Marketers can:

             Share data
  Understand attribution better
Utilize each other more effectively
     Report back to each other




      http:/googleblog.blogspot.com/2010/06/our-new-search-index-caffeine.html
#2 : Repurpose efforts on head terms


                                       You spend time on
                                     competitive keywords:

                                   Repurpose those efforts and
                                   build buckets for each to
                                          retarget to.

#3 : Long tail domination




  You get traffic across a number of pages that don’t
               convert really well for you.
Build different segments and target them differently in
                     retargeting ads.
