A 1×1 invisible image or JS snippet. When loaded, it fires a request with your browser details, IP, page URL, and custom events.
Browser loads all scripts including the Facebook/Google pixel
Sends: page URL, referrer, browser type, screen size, user ID (if matched)
Facebook/Google stores this against your ad account — building your audience
With ads, lookalike audiences, and conversion events across the web
Google Analytics records a timestamp on each hit. Duration = last hit − first hit. The last page shows 0:00 unless an event fires on it.

Behavioral signals paint a detailed picture of your interests — without you ever filling a form.
Pages are divided into 25% depth markers. Reaching 75–100% signals genuine interest. A user who reads 90% of a 'Smartphone Review' gets tagged as 'Technology > Mobile > High Intent'.
Time spent actively reading vs. idle/tab-switching. Platforms use mouse movement and scroll to measure 'active dwell time' — far stronger than raw session duration.
Which links you click, how fast, whether you use back (dissatisfaction), which CTAs attract you — all mapped to topic categories.
A simplified model of how topic affinity scores are built:
Understanding exit intent psychology and technology is your biggest revenue lever.
Users who see retargeted ads are 70% more likely to convert. Here's the complete playbook.
The 800 who didn't buy can now see your ads on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and Google Display Network for 30–180 days. Show different ads to different segments.
Install Facebook Pixel + Google Tag. Build custom audiences automatically.
Upload your best customers. Facebook finds millions with matching digital DNA.
Upload your email list. Facebook matches it to show ads to existing contacts.
Connect your product catalog. Ads auto-show the exact products each user viewed.
Facebook processes 100,000+ signals per user per day to decide what you see. Here's the full picture.

ML predicts: 'Will this user like, comment, share?'
| Pillar | What It Measures | How to Optimize | Impact |
|---|---|---|---|
| Inventory | All posts available for feed | Post consistently | Base |
| Signals | Passive (view time) + Active (likes, comments) | Create conversation-sparking content | High |
| Predictions | Probability you engage with this content | Build audience relationships | Very High |
| Relevance Score | Positive vs. negative signals | Avoid content they'd hide or report | Medium |
Engagement bait ('Like if you agree!'), clickbait, links to slow pages, repeated content, and posts marked as spam. These crush your organic reach to near zero.
Put everything together — a complete system to attract, engage, retain, and convert.
Publish 3–5x per week. Map content to buyer journey: Awareness → Consideration → Decision. Each stage targets different keywords and pixel segments.
Use Ads data to find converting keywords, then build SEO for those terms. Test landing pages with paid before committing SEO effort.
Offer a lead magnet for email. Email marketing has 4200% ROI — $42 per $1 spent. Segment by behavior and send personalized sequences.
Display reviews prominently. Add 'X people bought today' counters. Show trust badges. 92% of consumers read reviews before buying.
Test one variable at a time: headline, CTA color, image, price. Run minimum 1,000 visitors per variant. A 2% conversion lift is worth thousands yearly.
Real scarcity converts better than fake. 'Only 3 left' or '24h countdown timer' triggers FOMO. Combine with exit intent for maximum recovery.
