Google remarketing is one of the most effective ways to target Internet users who have already browsed your website but did not purchase anything or convert. Different advertisements are displayed on different websites across a range of platforms, and are targetted at those that have already shown an interest in your product or service. Once set up, remarketing is automated and works effectively to increase your website’s conversions.

Flash ads must support the clickTAG variable and the only user interactions that are allowed to be tracked are clicks.
