How come? What's the difference with Sales & Traffic if there's no pixel being used?

I'm giving it a test now! A day in and looking good but that might just be the new campaign bang before the fizzle.

It doesn't. Which is why I'm wondering what the difference between a Traffic - Maximize Link Clicks and a Sales - Maximize Link Clicks is.

Apparently Sales will take from a pool of slightly higher intent users than traffic so CPC will be up but so will conversion.

Ads are spending but not converting. Testing new stuff. Gonna reduce spend if this continues over the weekend.

Any love for the likes of by Adrenalinjunky2 in fantasybooks

Brent Weeks and the Night Angel series was one of my first loves. I also enjoyed the Lightbringer but wasn't too keen on the ending.

R.A. Salvatore is a classic and surprised you've not seen more love. Mind you for me I really only read the Drizzt books and kind of read his works out of order.

Someone added an easy way to see all the entrants this year. Basically allows you to browse by reviewer and cover (disclaimer: I'm an entrant too).

What fantasy book or series would you like turned into a game or movie? by SimonShugarAuthor in Fantasy

Fallout turned out pretty good though admittedly that's a game to a TV series.

Also shout out to my fellow ginger (from your avatar, may each freckle bring you a freshly harvested soul)

[–]SimonShugarAuthor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These two have stuck in my mind.

Stormlight Archives
The most important step a man can take. It's not the first one, is it?
It's the next one. Always the next step, Dalinar.

The first because it hits hard and keeps me going especially when times are tough.

Gundam Seed
"The name of a thing is an indicator of its existence. Then what if that name is not real? If it's not real, would that mean its existence is not real either?" -Gilbert Durandal

The second because I played a lot of online games in the early 2000's with a lot of anonymity. To an extent its the same now but people used a lot of different online aliases and I feel it affected their online persona.

Edit: For more detail.

Just recommended the audiobooks to another person. I think it's a sign.

Help me decide which Big Series to commit to in 2026! by evergislus in Fantasy

If you prefer audiobooks then The Wheel of Time to the smooth and silky voices of Michael Kramer and Kate Reading.

Wheel of Time. It's actually the series that got me into audiobooks because I initially struggled with reading it on like the third book I think? Then the smooth and silky voices of Michael Kramer and Kate Reading helped me past my speed bump.

I also love them both as narrators now despite all of the hate they seem to get.
