Before we go any where in this post, who can tell me what retargeting is? Anybody? That’s right! It’s the process of tagging visitors who visit your website, so that you can target them later in an effort to bring them back to your site with a variety of ads tailored to their level of interest across an advertising network.

But with some time, and experience, many early adopters have gotten the hang of the retargeting system, and they are doing quite well. Larry Kim has run across some great benefits to using retargeting.
