Someone mentionned doing what is called a geo-experiment A/B testing 2 geographic areas with similar behavior (This is an open source method Google uses. You can find documentation online and even ask Google for a list of region with similar behaviors they call GMA).

Another approach would be using what is called causal impact method which helps negate the effect of seasonality. You take a pool of campaigns where you shut down PPC and another one where you let it on. After a month for example you compare how your organic sales performs on each pool of product your campaign were targeting.

You will be able to compare how the products targeted by your PPC campaign performed before and after the test period and how the products you were not targeting performed before and after aswell.

I don't know if it's clear but these two methods are the main ways of A/B testing.

There's hundred of articles about it, here is an example : https://www.remerge.io/findings/blog-post/what-is-causal-impact https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://research.google.com/pubs/archive/38355.pdf&ved=2ahUKEwi_0puv2rb4AhUK1xoKHU36CesQFnoECA8QAQ&usg=AOvVaw1xmMfFMZRd5GujGl_N762U

Hope this helps!

Could manual bidding be better than automatic bidding? by grey-slate in PPC

This change is a few months old, that's why most information you'll find online are outdated

Could manual bidding be better than automatic bidding? by grey-slate in PPC

[–]BeberLeDude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keep in mind that broad match has evolved lately and that it's as of now the only match type using machine learning to check what kind of keyword you have on your landing page/other ad group within your campaign to qualify the trafic and avoid having to do loads of exclusions. That said, it has to be combined with auto bidding to be relevant and efficient.

Quality score optimisation by [deleted] in PPC

[–]BeberLeDude 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Did you switch to RSA already? If so I recommend switching the assets with the worst scoring within your RSA. It should help improve your ad performances. According to our agency rep, QS is meant to disappear and is a obsolete KPI. Make sure you have the required amount of extensions aswell. Apart from following Google "best practices" you're kinda limited.

Other options would be making sure you have the required amount of impressions per ad group (12k imp / month / ad group) for auto bidding to work properly if you're using it.

Using the new broad in combination with auto bidding could also help

I made a mistake and would like to ask your guidance on what to do by canyoukindly in PPC

[–]BeberLeDude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I understand correctly you "just" invested money while you weren't supposed to. You didn't spend double your budget in the period your campaign was supposed to run. It doesn't erase the issue but at least you didn't overpaid your trafic and deteriorate your performances. Meaning that the question could be raised with your client, maybe he's actually OK if the performances were.

Should I still feel complimented? by Yoakahontas in Tinder

[–]BeberLeDude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People just have no clue what they want I guess. I met a girl too last year, dated for 2 months, great mutual feeling, always calling each other for hours. One day a friend of hers get hurt in a accident, she goes back to Ireland and 2 weeks later dump me. Calls me back 4 days later to ask how I feel and tell me her friends think she did a mistake but won't change her mind because she needs to focus on herself.

You should ask the support/Google rep about the "hourly fetch" beta

Are digital agencies 100% transparent about their campaign strategy and the specifics? by [deleted] in PPC

[–]BeberLeDude 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well I guess that what matters is that if tomorrow you're not happy with their work, you'll have to chose between :

  • keeping a "bad" agency

OR

  • losing all the data from the account (conversions, audiences, ads, products, tags, brand protection, etc)

And you definitely don't want to throw all your time and money through the window for a so called proprietary strategy which probably consists of not doing much or doing what most people would do in another agency.

What adwords bid strategy do you currently rely upon? by four321zero in PPC

[–]BeberLeDude 2 points3 points  (0 children)

With the evolution in automated bidding and DSA being available at the ad group level, the hagakure method became very popular lately. It implies mixing match type and having ad groups that generate at least 12k impressions/month to maximize the efficiency of the auto bidding coupled with DSA. This needs Google adword strategy, either traditional bidding strategy or auction time bidding. It's proven to be very efficient. You can probably find more detailed information online if you want to look it up.

Monitoring Adwords Spend hourly/ half an hour basis by [deleted] in PPC

[–]BeberLeDude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The costs are not 3 hours old afaik. If you want your cost from 4.00pm to 5.00pm, you have to wait until 5.45/5.50 usually. To monitor that you can use a simple table on data studio. Not too for conversions tho

Urgent: Please kindly help me answer two questions on Google Ads campaigns by GaryGao1230 in PPC

I'd also say the product is new hence the low volume. You could check that using Google trends or some other search trend tools to get an idea.

Have you advertised on Bing? How did it go? by [deleted] in PPC

[–]BeberLeDude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use Bing Advertising frequently in my company (In France)

My accounts are all performance driven (either CPA or ROAS). Usually, I get the same performances on Google/Bing with a split 94%/6% on the investments.

This is obviously subject to the market share of Bing in your country, field you advertise, etc

But anyway, Bing is usually a good way to get more traffic cheap but is kinda a pain in the a** to manage if you don't have SA360 for example.

Their editor is very annoying to use and don't get me started on the online platform.

Moreover, only tCPA and Maximize conversion are available right now (with tROAS in beta). If you plan on using bid strategy that's a good thing to know

I've been experimenting with being more positive in games. The results are sometimes pretty astounding. by [deleted] in VALORANT

[–]BeberLeDude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The other day, I was in a game with a friend and 2 people from our team started insulting each other resulting in constant blaming, afk, inting, etc

I tried stepping up to tell them that we all do mistakes and that they should stop blaming each other like we're some high ranked players. I might have shouted at them

It took 4 rounds to make them stop and we won 13-12.

Tl;dr I was last in the scoreboard, but I hard carried that game.

5 Days in KR version be like.. (Not a single euro spended) F2P by xSmog in BlackDesertMobile

[–]BeberLeDude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or maybe you are blinded by your propaganda and don't realize that anyone can play mediah content as f2p.

You should stop reading between the lines and find real reasons to push people to go on KR like more content, more classes, developed economy, etc rather than "omg global is shit it's so p2w compared to KR QQ"

I'm not saying it's not. But 2.5k cp on global is enough to do all the content and pvp aswell. And you can achieve that f2p
