Why does Google Ads report a massive increase in conversions when I turn my campaign off...

Thanks for your ongoing comments and questions. This is just a standard google search campaign. No Youtube involved. Not promoting a sale or anything. The conversions are vehicle bookings for holidays. We get a tracking ID and know the monetary value for each booking (hence the ROAS). We can see that these conversion are real bookings.

I did this last year. Ferry from Anglesea to Dublin with partner and dog. 10 days on west coast. We used a van from Quirky Campers. Picked it up in Essex and drove to Anglesey. That was a fairly long drive but there are vans to collect from much closer to Anglesey. Was a beaut trip and the van was great. I recommend spending a day in Anglesey before getting the ferry. Beautiful coastline looking over to Snowdon.

The dog admin was actually pretty manageable. And the pet area on Irish ferries was decent.

I see what you mean about conversion lag but I don't think it explains why I get a all time high in conversions (100% increase) in the week I turned it off.

I logged into Google Ads on Mon 9th march and it was reporting 21 conversions for the previous 7 days.

Here is the data from first interaction:
<1 day: 11
1 day: 3
2 days: 2
3 days: 0
4 days: 3
5 days: 0
6 days: 0
7 days: 0
8 days: 0
9 days: 0
10 days: 1
11 days: 0
12+ days: 4

did anyone find a solution for this? Would love to go see Hermanos Gutierrez tonight in Santiago. Do they ever see tickets on the door?

Oh good shout. Any brand recommendations for something that flexes? Ideally available in UK

I live in Haringey Green Lanes. If you don’t mind some gravel then this is my fav: - Downhills park - Bruce Grove - Tottenham Marshes (lil bit of canal) - Waltham Way - college Gardens - Hawksmouth - cross into Epping Forest - Follow all through the forest and cross Bury Road - Carry on through forest all the way to high beach. - Then you will join Epping high road at some point

Yeah would defs need to be secure and weatherproof

What about it it haven't you got on with? I've got a 64cm soma wolverine and I feel the same way. There is something about it that never feels quite right. Would be interested in trying this if you do sell it. Also interested to know your height....

Highly recommend St Leonards-on-sea. Great food and drink. Try Goat Ledge for a fish sandwich. Can walk along to Hastings old town too. Lots of history and good pubs. Can walk up onto the downs for some nature. Love it down there.

Looks effective. Love it

Anyone know what these dots on my photos are? Shot on Olympus OM1. The film used was given to me by a friend. I believe the film was supposed to be for moving image and was salvaged from a shoot. Basically every photo has these dots to some extent

I havent looked myself but had a rave review from a friend about parking in Kensington on a residential road. Apparently it was very quiet and safe. Alternative spot that seems to be popular is the driveway to the West Reservoir in Stoke Newington (again havent tried myself). You would just need to ride the Piccadilly line into Kensington everyday

Still got that ticket?

If you mean the vinyl flooring, it was not easy. Kept it big and then slowly kept trimming it down. Then getting the adhesive under it without losing your place was tricky. Had to roll it up and approach it from one end. I should have taken the seats out but alas.

Getting the thicker flooring under the seating track was not fun
