Strange Thing Happened On YouTube

a reply to: hounddoghowlie

Someone may have already said this but it's called "remarketing" and it's done with a pixel and utilized by Google, Facebook, etc. What you saw was likely due to ATS utilizing Adwords. Remarketing is just a newer part of that. Whoever said you likely saw behind the wall was right - normally the pixel from the ATS visit would be recorded and decoded by Google and you would be served up ads on YouTube matching your "interests" based on that pixel. What likely happened is your security settings prevented that from working right, so you saw your own words for a second until "Google" (the bots) figured out it wasn't working correctly and they decided to not show you anything related to remarketing.

I work in Marketing and use Google and Facebook remarketing for my clients so that's ^^^^ a pretty solid guess based on your description of what happened.

Found two good videos explaining:
Remarketing Video 1 on YouTube
Remarketing Video 2 on YouTube
