Retargeting setting and Audiences defining to increase the conversion of an advertising campaign. Retargeting helps you to determine the most valuable visitors from all those who view your site and shows certain advertisements in the Adskeeper network.

Potential customers will see your ad exactly at the moment when they are the most interested in making a purchase.
How to create an Audience?
Audiences tool further enables launching retargeting campaigns in AdsKeeper to target specific visitors.
To create an Audience, go to the Audiences section in AdsKeeper Dashboard (located in the upper right corner):
On the section page, click on the Add New Audience button:
When creating an Audience, you should specify:
- Audience name (up to 30 characters)
- Describe your audience (up to 90 characters)
- Target type: on what basis a visitor will be added to the audience
- Period of validity: the duration of the visitor's inclusion in the audience
- You should add conditions for a visitor to be added to the Audience in accordance with the target type chosen in the Settings section.
What is the Target Type and how can it be applied during the audience creation?
To collect an audience, you should set the AdsKeeper pixel on the site (the code should be placed in the <body> on each page of the site). The pixel code can be found in the Audiences section.
To get the code, you should click on the Get pixel code button and copy it from the opening pop-up:
Here how it would look like:
As an advertiser, you can choose the following target types when creating an Audience:
- Page Link
- JS Event
- Website Visitor
- Existing Targets
Target type = Page link
When choosing the Page Link target type, you can create a retargeting campaign for users who have visited certain pages of the site (visits are logged using the AdsKeeper pixel).
It works as follows:
User has visited the main page of an e-commerce site, as well as other pages on this site ('/about us', '/checkout', product pages, etc.). When the user visits the AdsKeeper partner site, ads of the products they have viewed will be displayed in ad units.
In Audience settings, you can set only parts of the URL (Start from, Contains, Ends with). You can add it to the Audience provided that either one of the conditions is fulfilled, or all of them are fulfilled (there is no limit on the number).
Target type = JS Event
This creates a retargeting campaign for users who have performed certain actions on the site (registration, adding an item to the cart, placing an order, etc.).
To set up such a campaign, you should:
- Put the AdsKeeper pixel code on the site
- Install the event tracking code
To generate an event tracking code, you should specify an identifier. Then, place the generated code on the site, so it is executed as soon as the desired action is performed (adding to the cart, etc.).
Please note, you can add only one tracked event per audience.
Target Type = Website Visitor
As for this target type, you can create an audience that makes up site visitors who have accessed any page, and a condition can be added that specifies a minimum number of visits for a user to be added to the audience. For this, you can add one tracking domain per audience.
Target type = Existing goals
When selecting the Target Type = Existing Goals, there is an opportunity to create an audience from users who have made conversions configured for existing advertising campaigns (Fig. 9). It is possible to add a condition under which a user is added to the audience provided that he hasn’t reached the goal. There is no limit on the number of conditions.
Audience management
You can access the list of audiences by following the link in the Header. The Audience section is available at https://dashboard.adskeeper.co.uk/advertisers/audiences
In the list of audiences, you can delete or edit the audience. When editing an audience, you can reset the conditions of adding a user to it and change the name and description of the audience.
The following information about the audience is available on this page as well:
- Audience name and description
- The current number of users in the audience
- The total number of users who have been added to the audience since it has been created
- The number of users added to the audience for the present and previous day.
How to use the audience when creating or editing a campaign?
