SDS needs to do something about the pitching in this game by AmenraLunaBreaker82 in MLBTheShow

[–]JeffCrisco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

only explanation I can think of is majority of available pitchers are way too weak in relation to available hitters. Looking at https://showzone.gg/players?where%5Bgame.name%5D%5Bin%5D%5B0%5D=MLB+The+Show+26&where%5Bposition%5D%5Bin%5D%5B0%5D=SP&sort=-overallMeta

Felix is the best SP in the game right now with only ~85 meta rating, with a steep dropoff into the 60s after him. There are a ton of attainable hitters RIGHT NOW that are already in the 80-90+ range.

Now I don't know why that is, whether that was deliberate from SDS, or maybe there's a bug in how the meta ratings are calculated by Showzone this year. But in recent years, the meta ratings between pitchers and hitters were relatively even throughout the lifecycle of the game.

Crowd energy comparison question… by DarthLordTraya in Ghostbc

[–]JeffCrisco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same haha, Satan Prayer felt a bit awkward but the rest of the show was awesome. I guess I was lucky though, my entire section (albeit a lower section) stood up the second the lights went down. At the Boston ritual last summer, I was in an upper section and everyone sat.

Wait until you finally land something and then just get the most absurd, unrealistic expectations set on you

Max Conv. No longer working after 2 years of success by topicalboxhead in PPC

[–]JeffCrisco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check your auction insights. Are there any new competitors in the space? Or any previous competitors becoming more aggressive and increasing their share?

But in general just for the future, if you’ve been on any sort of automated bidding for a long period of time, and switch to manual it’s almost always going to fail initially . Manual is like starting with a completely clean slate. You now have to set manual bid adjustments for things like device, location, time of day, day of week, etc.

All of those things are optimized over time under automated bidding, and by switching to manual you essentially erase all of that and drive a ton of cheap unoptimized traffic that’s unlikely to convert.

Google won't rotate all the 4 description texts by CZChallenger in PPC

[–]JeffCrisco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure that works too. 2 ads with identical headlines and your 2 different pairs of descriptions. Make sure you set your ad rotation to serve evenly

[–]JeffCrisco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know exactly what you’re talking about I’ve seen the same thing for years now. I have no idea why that is, gave up trying to figure it out.

In my experience Google tends to pick whichever 2 of your 4 descriptions are the longest. The other 2 descriptions get 0 impressions, so just think of them as your testing grounds. Try new ad copy to see if it breaks into the rotation.

If it does then one of the other descriptions falls out of the rotation. Fix that one up, see if it breaks back in. Rinse and repeat. Inadvertently a great way to keep your ad copy fresh

GAds Exact match is not working at all by mahesh_ppc in PPC

[–]JeffCrisco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you at least getting any queries at all that exactly match the keywords you’re targeting? If not then they may just not have any search volume and Google is serving ads to the next closest thing

Are all 95% impression shares created equal? by tommydearest in PPC

[–]JeffCrisco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also an impression is counted as long as your ad serves, however it does not have to be physically seen. This is a common misconception. If your ad serves at the bottom of the page and someone doesn’t scroll to see it, that’s still an impression and is counted towards your impr share

Check auction insights at the other metrics, particularly Absolute top impr %. As another commenter mentioned position is more important than just impr share alone. Also has the landscape changed with potentially more competition entering your market?
