Cost of Retargeting (Remarketing) Ad Clicks
-
If you run an Adwords banner campaign with retargeting, how is the cost per click determined? My hunch is that it would be different than text ads in search result pages.
-
In essence, it's much the same as standard PPC bidding. You choose a keyword to determine the category of sites / pages where your adverts will be displayed and then you are bidding against other advertisers. In my experience, this ends up cheaper than standard PPC but as it is a second attempt you would hope so.
If you are using image adverts the best approach is to create ads at all the various sizes and it gives you more opportunities. You can then review the performance / cost of each advert and may find that you do better with certain adverts etc.
Much like normal PPC it's all about measuring and refinement over time to really sharpen things up.

Every banner you display is the result of an ad auction taking place on Google for that particular placement. Since you're targeting your ad to people, those people will visit different sites, some of which the bids for ad placements are low, so the CPC can vary quite a bit.
-
The cost of re-targeted ads is often less than the cost of standard ppc text ads, the actual cost depends on several factors that are unique to your campaign such as terms target.
I hope this is what you need

Unsolved Google Ads Subdomain in sitelinks & Composition Change for Strategy Status
I have a basic query but could not find a definite answer on the internet. I am currently running a campaign for the main website of a big education brand and they also have a secondary learning website on subdomain, and I want to add sitelinks of subdomain to the campaign, but I am not sure whether it is allowed or not. The brand I am running ads for is https://www.rauias.com/ and the secondary website is https://compass.rauias.com/ branded slightly different in a subdomain, so should I add the sitelinks of Compass to the main campaign? Also one more silly question My Max Conversion search campaign gave me this status today. "Learning (composition change): Campaigns have been added to or removed from the bid strategy. Google Ads is now adjusting to optimize bids. 5 days left for learning" What does this mean exactly? And Why does it reenter the learning phase whenever I make a small change?

Disparities between AdWords clicks and Analytics sessions
Hi all, Have an Analytics account connected to my AdWords account which is showing HUGE gulfs in clicks and sessions for a CPM campaign. 500 clicks = 0 sessions. Does anyone have any idea why this could be the case? Auto-tagging is on and everything looks to be in place. The website itself is on a 303 so I was wondering could that be impacting things? The CPC is also just 1p so that's got me very suspicious. Thanks in advance.

Facebook ads to people who like a particular brand or page
Can I target my facebook adds to only those users who like a brand or page? I have an exhibition coming up next year and would like to target those who like the brand page. I know I can target on interests etc but cannot see how I can target a particular page. Any advice greatly appreciated as I am sure others would be interested if this can be done. ThanksJames

Have you used an ad network other than Google Adwords?
We received a cold call from a company called Division-D. They make a lot of promises which sound good (but that's what marketers do 🙂 ). Advertising on a non-Google network probably would have fewer restrictions than an Adwords campaign and they say that they are fully transparent. Would it be worth it to listen to their whole pitch?
