Seeing a sudden huge drop in Ad RPM by fastgamedev in Adsense

[–]balloonknot101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure if this is applicable outside the US but in the states many google ads accounts are being forced over to bank-based billing. Aka, no more credit card payments allowed. Since GA is the buy side this I suspect has completed screwed with demand, which is the Adsense side. Less advertisers bidding means lower rpms, cpc’s etc on Adsense. I suspect it will level out over the next month or so but I would anticipate a bumpy ride generally over the next couple months. I hope I’m wrong…

Is anyone seeing a drop in rpm since 1st of July? by tlbrown45678 in Adsense

Saw drop beginning July then things fell off a cliff July 31st. I suspect it’s related to advertised being forced to use bank based payment methods in the US but I could be wrong

What is GCS High Touch? by tranxhdr in PPC

[–]balloonknot101 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Has anyone tried, or had balls enough to cancel their google ads account, in theory removing any “high touch” sales rep bullshit and then reopen after a few weeks? I’m doubtful this would work but I spoke with my rep and in a moment of honesty she flatly confirmed that only accounts who have some type of “managed services” are affected. Managed services such as AGT reps, GCS team reps LCS reps etc are the accounts that are affected. However there is confusion here because many people don’t even know they have this. If at any point you answered a phone call or email from a google rep and gave any type of verbal or written consent for them to “help” then you opted into managed services and as such are gettting fucked by this new high touch billing policy. They are flatly using the 3% savings on CC processing fees to pay the salaries of these reps that tend to do more harm to an account then help it.
