Has anyone made any experience with hiding a retargeting pixel code in an ad code?
With the recent changes in Facebooks attitude towards scrapers (facesniper.com etc.) I want to use Retargeting Custom Audiences more.
So what about hiding your retargeting code into a strangers website? I would just pick a niche (e.g. fitness), talk to some webmasters of fitness forums (forums are more likely to approve requests for ads) and then give them your modified ad code?
Any thoughts welcome..
I'm not sure why you'd need to 'hide' the code.
If you are placing ads on some persons website and can do so through an iFrame then it's no problem to ad this code.
You would do stuff like this anyway with ad servers, retargeting pixels, etc. If you have a rapport with the webmaster it shouldn't be hard to just be up front about the code and ask them to embed the ad as an iFrame.
However, if the site allows only jpg, png, gif etc. ads then you can't hide ad codes in there. In a swf maybe but I don't know if this would work.
I don't think FB is against the use of retargeting pixels to create custom audiences. FB doesn't like the creation of custom audiences using s/w like facesniper to scrape UIDs from groups.
