Remember
Getting retargeted by your own ads might affect the effectiveness of your campaign. This way part of the budget will be spent on serving ads to you instead of reaching your desired audience.
We show your ads on sites where they have the best chance of engaging your visitors. There are several factors that contribute to where ads are served, including, but not limited to, industry, time of day, seasonality, the intent of the user, bid-win rates, and more. Because of the in-depth algorithms that dictate ad placement, it's difficult to predict where you'll be able to see your ads.
