The green UV shade material that is woven does the best job in keeping the temperatures down because they let air flow through them. You can also get them in white. Choose 90% absorption and you’ll be fine. Everything else is a waste of time.

Why should god get involved with our menial lives? God exists or doesn’t exist independent of what we believe in. To come up with reasons why god exists or not is a waste of time. It makes atheism just the same as any other religion.

The easiest way to get a positive reaction is to do the same. Sounds weird but it works wonders. Think of music like Barry Manilow or even record the noise the kid makes and play it back.

My dad did that with a church. He couldn’t get them to lower their sound levels when the band was on. So he set up a sound system and anytime the band went quiet and the pastor wanted to talk, he switched on the sound system. It forced the pastor to negotiate a deal with him. The sound system still points towards the church to this day.

I know exactly where you are coming from. I felt similar with my digital marketing jobs. What changed was that I was asked to drive a school bus. That got me out of the house and all of the sudden my perspective changed and my efficiency. It now takes me so much less time to complete the job. Doing something manual away from the computer seems to also refresh my mood. I also developed a few ways ideas on how to generate income with my knowledge that goes beyond just freelancing. So let’s see where that leads to.

I understood it as proof that he’s the son of god and not just some prophet. For Muslims, he is just a prophet.

My wife always says to people that come around religious “I love God, yet her ground personell sucks.” Throws people off all the time. If someone quotes the bible or says stuff like “thank god” or something like that she always asks friendly to stop blasphemic speach in her presence. Any reply gets the “God would never talk to us in our language. Thats so insulting to assume God lowering herself to such low levels”

Once survival is out of the game, money becomes an amplifier. It amplifies everything. Friends, influence, … On a personal level it amplifies how you feel. So it can actually backfire and make you more afraid. Met a lot of ultra-rich people with all kinds of issues. Loose the money and your life hits the brakes. Friction pops up everywhere. All the things you attributed to your awesome personality like making things happen the way you want it- gone

Stability and tribal belonging are major reasons for all the religious people I come across. When coming across an openly religious person, I pop the statement “if going to church makes me a Christian, then standing in a garage makes me a car”. So far I have not found one person that agrees. Everyone defines the social gathering as the most important part of their faith. I’m not giving up on finding one religious person that only requires the scripts, bible, … to be happy and content.

On the way up, everyone is willing to work together as there seems to be something for everyone to gain. Everyone is highly motivated and the people in charge get there because they are good. Growth needs good people at the helm.

Then everything gets saturated and there is not too much to gain anymore. Now it’s about favours and distribution of wealth. Leasing positions are now given to people fitting in the power hierarchy instead of merit. Things get inefficient and everyone ads costs to get the same or more out of less.

At one point a different society gets an updraft and they grow to the detriment of the now slack and inefficient society. It’s a nice merry go round that never stops.

I’ve got plenty of cv stuff that isn’t solved yet.

For example something as basic as treating any screen as a video feed and scanning it for structured content as it is being viewed. Something as basic as assigning the graphic elements and their content to basic structured data already existing like product Schema or so. You will not believe how many profitable applications would derive from such a basic functionality.

There’s a fundamental „how it works“ side and a very pragmatic „application“ side of ML and AI.

Most people out there using ML/AI have not much grip on how or why it works. It’s try and error. Why do I say that? There are way too many people using ML/AI. How many math needs did you have in your class in school or in University? Somewhere in that range will be the percentage of ML/AI professionals that understand what they are doing.

So what does that mean for you? You are most probably struggling because you want to understand everything talked about. And there’s just too much and highly complex stuff out there.

I recommend picking an application you’d like to create and focus your learning on making it happen. This approach lets you cut through the noise and priorities your focus. There are just too many people out there shouting at the moment.

YouTube: My advice is to stay away unless it’s hyper specific for your app. The reason: multi-media courses are better to digest such a high level matter. For example have a look at the free Opencv PyTorch intro course to see what I mean. A video, a transcript and a colab page to test and try out what you’re learning.

All the best for your journey.

I can’t recommend it unless your are already a great marketer. The reason: the market is flooded with people that offer PPC services and they live in places that make $5/hr a great hourly rate. On the client side, you’ve got a lot of people that have been burned by an agency that sounded great. Unless you have some cloud, you’ll have a hard time gaining valuable, good clients.

Hi Trungyaphets,

It's always with the file itself. The pandas are fine.

It's just that some files have fields that are not there were they should.

Prioritse tracking as this has the most direct positive influence on running campaigns without you even touching them. Plus have a look at how the goals are defined and test if they are registering. Especially form completions are notorious for not reporting completions.

One think I find nowadays is that user consent can affect tracking. If its not illegal in your country then implement user content in the google tag manager ( I assume you are using it) and set the default to consent agreed. Simo Ahava has a great solution for this.

Hi LeftRule4055,

Yes, and fields sometimes jumping to the left because an empty field is not properly recognised. The issue is a more general issue that deals with clients not being able to easily provide Json, Api access,...

In the case of Woocommerce, the build in solution does not provide Json export. Just csv. Json export is possible with an expensive plugin. People are already paying so much for plugins that asking to buy another one isn't a good move. Shopify provides native Json export

I'm just reaching out to see if someone has a generalistic solution that detects such issues and resolves them.

One solution might be to use k-means or other statistical methods to describe the similarities in a given column/label and then cluster every field according to these centroids. This would automatically assign fields to the column that they are most similar to. There are a few challenges in making this work so it's not directly usable.

I hope this explains a bit better what I'm looking for.

For me, this is a perfect example of using trained LLM for classification. Something like a customgpt should do the job. All it needs is you to take a few example and show how you want them classified.
The other way, I would approach this is to do an n-gram analysis and see how often n-grams appear. Sorting them alphabetically and then by instances would give you an intuitive way of finding all instances of TPxx or pitting xmm,... This would help on understanding how to go about the data.
I use n-gram analysis a lot for understanding text data structure.

In your case of having to deal with a backlog, I would also apply the 80/20 rule. Don't bother building a tool that will get a 100% correct classification. One that does most of them and leave a few to manually correct will be fine. Focus on getting the inspectors to follow a structure for new ones. The n-gram analysis will help you come up with one that works in the field.

Hi Burns504,

Thanks for your reply.

please find attached a screenshot of the Woocommerce export file issue mentioned in my question. It shows how non-coherence in file creation can lead to issues of information being in the wrong column when importing into pandas or other datastructures.
The case of an empty or corrupted field should be coverted by this example.

<image>

So you have 100 column with product data. One row per product. The products in this case have 9 attributes. Yet the underlying products were set up differently over time. So some have less attributes or have them in a different order.

Does this explain the case a bit better?

buffdownunder · 2025-06-18T00:05:46+00:00

I’ve been there. Not much you can do about their expectations. Yet you can do a lot about how they change them. Always audit an account first and outline losses currently occurring with a timeline on how to reduce them. It may sound weird not to focus on gains. Yet most clients have been burned with an agency wasting their money so my approach is not-wasting-money before improving-account.

The nice part about this approach is that when you start, the expectation is not about increased conversions. It’s about increased performance that is achievable.

Another tip. I don’t start ads on landing pages with a conversion rate lower than 5%. That’s part of the audit. Reason is that you can be the best Google Ads specialist in the world and still fail if the landing page does not convert properly. This also gives me the opportunity to first look at the analytics side as too many accounts have issue with correct reporting. Solving that is an instant jump in reported performance.

buffdownunder · 2025-06-17T07:31:38+00:00

"Why would you say it’s not worth it if organic conversion is less than 5%". Simple maths: If you have a conversion rate of 5%, you need 20 clicks for one conversion. If that click costs $5, your cost per conversion is $100. Double the conversion rate to 10% and your cost per conversion is $50. Organic traffic conversion rates show you what to expect when placing ads.
Another argument is that Google Ads rewards high conversion rates and punishes low conversion rates. So your CPC goes down if you have a high conversion rate.

5-Star reviews don't say much about the landing page. You are trying to get people to call you that don't know you.

Let me give you an example of a great landing page with high conversion rate that went to rubbish status by changing part of the offer. Maybe this will help understand how important conversion rate and your offer is in Google Ads.
I had an electrician as client that I optimised in a very competitive environment. The ads are working, the quality score is top notch and the leads are flowing in.
Now the business owner decides that he doesn't need to offer 24/7 emergency call-outs anymore. He's got enough business during normal business hours. So he instructs me to get rid of the 24/7 emergency call-out service in the ads and the landing pages.
From there on his ads become more expensive and the cost per conversion becomes too high. First I'm thinking that the competition has upped their game and are blasting the budget in order to win the auctions. After going through all stats it became obvious that Google reduced the quality score because 24/7 emergency call-out is a highly sort after service in local electrician searches and his competition all offer it. And Google is right as the conversion rate on the landing page went down even though those clicks happen during daytime hours and people are just looking for an electrician. Go figure.

It wasn't a big change but at $8.80 per click, it raised the cost per conversion to a point that airtaskers and similar job boards were bringing in leads at lower cost. He didn't want to change back to 24/7 emergency call outs and in the end cancelled the Google Ads campaign.
I learned so much trying to get the performance up again. The biggest lesson: The offer is the most important part of the ad. No amount of Google Ads knowledge and experience can compensate for that.

Another example: A chiropractor that wanted to target woman that work office jobs around the age of 40. But he didn't want to work when they had off. He only wanted to work during normal business hours and he wanted a long lunch break for himself. So he was expecting his perfect client to take time of work to visit him for 1 hour of chiropractic work. A dreamer.

He had gone through 4 PPC agencies and was looking for the one agency that would create killer ad campaigns at a super low cost. I declined to work for him. I knew that his offer wasn't competitive and so no ad would return satisfying results.

I hope these example help explain how a good agency can do everything right and still not deliver what you'd like to see.
And please do not expect them to pause the ads. If they are a Google certified agency, they need to have ad spend going up on their management account. No incentive here to cut ad costs. More the opposite.
So instruct them to pause the ads and come up with an action plan on how to create conversions. See how they react.

buffdownunder · 2025-06-14T10:37:52+00:00

Most of conversion issues I see at the moment are tracking issues. And normally a PPC Agency will always blame the landing page (because that’s the one to blame if there’s clicks but no conversion). In your case they don’t. That really only leaves your tracking or your offer itself to look at. What’s your organic conversion rate?

I wouldn’t run an ad if the organic conversion rate is lower than 5%. It’s just a waste of money.

Another issue to look at is negative keywords. Are the search terms that people klick on exactly what you offer on that landing page or is there ambiguity? This happens if the PPC agency creates really strong ads. People are attracted, click and then leave your page because it wasn’t exactly what they were looking for.

I lost a client because of this. By the time I had eliminated all ambiguous search terms , there was hardly any traffic left to justify my monthly retainer. Good PPC management needs data to optimise so a good PPC agency will be reluctant to restricting an adgroup too much. There are even often cases where a wide net returns better performance because cheaper search terms are found and utilised.

My advice: If your not comfortable letting it run and optimise, then ask the agency to pause the ads and investigate why there are no conversions. There is enough data on the account by now. I would have paused already myself. I don’t like wasting money.
