What is the Facebook Pixel?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pixels are often used across ad platforms. A pixel leaves a “Cookie<\/a>” from your website on your visitor’s computer. From now on, you know who your visitor is and can re-target them.<\/p>\n

The Pixel can also be used to study browsing\/purchasing behavior, and measure the effectiveness of your ads.<\/p>\n

The Facebook Pixel explained <\/strong><\/h3>\n

What was the Facebook Pixel before :<\/strong><\/p>\n

Facebook used a custom audience pixel that allowed re-targeting, this along with a conversion pixel (to measure online sales, for example) . Each ad account could only use one custom audience pixel, but you could create as many conversion pixels as you wanted.<\/p>\n

What is the Facebook Pixel now :<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ever since 2015, Facebook has been working on the new Facebook Pixel.<\/p>\n

One pixel to replace all others<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This pixel will be the only one you still need, it provides re-targeting, optimization and follow-up at the same time.<\/p>\n
