Perhaps you’ve heard of the online media tactic retargeting. If you haven’t, it’s the practice (through retargeting ad networks) of placing online ads in front of people (wherever they go online) after they have visited the advertiser’s site. It’s a way of “following” a prospective customer around the web and “retargeting” them with ads for the site they initially visited.
But this can be done several ways. One of which is called search retargeting. This tactic follows people around the web with ads that align with a search they just completed on Google, Yahoo! or Bing. In theory, this tactic broadens an advertiser’s reach because it targets potential new customers versus customers who may have already visited an advertiser’s site.
