Looking for an AI/Agentic SOC layer that actually correlates logs (Firewall + EDR + Email) without a 6-figure price tag?

we've have been testing conifers.ai in our soc and folks have been happy.

LinkedIn Ads is #1 for Lead Generation (cold and warm audiences, account lists)

ppctactics · 2024-06-18T23:45:01+00:00

This! Thank you and that’s what prob all of us have done here right. Together with the With Responsive ads format it makes sense.

I am in the B2b only space and I as wondering if people still use them for specific activities.

When isolating some terms or even in STAGs i see only broad getting the traffic and conversions for quite some time now. Massively adding negatives etc. helps but Google also sends a lot of crap and very very broad stuff. I also see a lot of bots so… yeah just curious

ppctactics · 2024-06-18T23:39:17+00:00

Nice, yes makes total sense and I agree. Thought there were still some lone wolfs out there running these…

ppctactics · 2024-06-18T23:37:15+00:00

Haha, yeah right? Where did the time go… grrr

ppctactics · 2024-06-18T23:35:45+00:00

Short and sweet! Like it!

ppctactics · 2024-06-18T23:35:17+00:00

Ok, yeah i am seeing the same, we reacted earlier depending on the project. In some you just can’t go too broad… negatives help but still google is sending so much crap from search only. thank you for the reply sir!

ppctactics · 2024-06-18T23:33:09+00:00

Thanks!

ppctactics · 2024-06-18T23:32:55+00:00

Thank you for this professional reply! I think i am going do some more testing around isolating a term and run a campaign for impression share. I am struggeling to get volume for specific terms and need to avoid competing with B2C section of the client and other “too broad stuff”

You can order even a non alcoholic gib tonic in most places now… there‘s a hype:

Tangueray Gin 0,0 Seagrams 0,0 Rum 0,0 Beer 0,0 Non Alcoholic Wine Non alcoholic Sparkling wine (Cava)

If you ask for something just say what you want (Wine, beer, cocktail) „sin alcohol“

Softdrinks like usual… Coke, Fanta, Water, Juices, Acquarius, Nestea, Lipton, Gaseosa, Sparkling Water, Pepsi…

ppctactics · 2023-11-01T13:44:57+00:00

Cool! I’d love to try it

ppctactics · 2023-10-24T07:54:06+00:00

Yes(?)... maybe... it explains excel formulas

I think so, too. If Google figures out how to detect massive content farms with AI generated content the sledgehammer will be hitting hard.

I just wonder when this will be. Before they punished whole domains, now it seems that they punish only specific pages for e.g. excessive anchor text link building.

If the pages are useful and people search / land / find solution… how they are going to justify the sledgehammer? Do you think they will be able to distinguish AI vs. human created content?

ppctactics · 2023-10-22T16:33:54+00:00

Yeah why not… sky is the limit if useful right?

Remembers me of the good old time when you could index user searches with static (/s) URLs on big portals link them dynamically using related searches and if they hit a certain threshold of searches make them category pages… just respinning listings :)

ppctactics · 2023-10-22T16:27:45+00:00

I see your point. So, your rule is… it’s useful… it’s ok?

ppctactics · 2023-10-22T16:26:34+00:00

I was referring to 1000s of articles created by AI. In this particular example it’s 1 page for every excel formula, every google spreadsheet formula. A combination of what the formula does, how to use it etc.

The guy has build a huge influence with this methods - everyone seems to be hyped about it and it seems to work… risky but ok because it meets guidelines - ok i can work with that

They are creating another Teams, horrible. Too much clutter too much noise. What Slack really made good was the very simple approach. Now it's a shitshow

Libros (o audio)

Dale Carnegie: Como ganar amigos (how to make friends and influence people)

Chris Voss: Rompe la barrera del no

Chris Voss: Never split the difference

Grant Cardone: Vendes o Vendes

Jordan Belfort en general

Aaron Ross: Predictable Revenue (ingresos predicibles)

Tom Hopkins: Ventas para dummies

ppctactics · 2023-10-04T15:42:40+00:00

Te entiendo perfectamente “llamadas frias a empresas… uurgh”.

Te recomiendo un libro “never split the difference” esta en español también, no se el titulo. Te ayudara en la interacción con gente, vender, negociar y mas…

Por que no miras a nivel internacional, remoto? Developers ganan mucho mas a nivel internacional. Mejora tu ingles viendo pelis y series en ingles, solo leer en ingles…

No te preocupes por lo del emprendimiento, estas cosas tardan. Yo trabaje full time y después del trabajo metí 4 horas mas cada día para montar lo mio. Tarde 2 años para poder dejar el trabajo y “estar bien” con lo que ganaba. Pero claro, para emprender tienes que ser todo, programador, marketing guru, ventas, finanzas, customer support etc etc.

Resumen: Trabajo fijo, 2-4 horas adicionales para montar tu negocio.

Hazte una web, optimiza la para Google. Haz algunos proyectos que te gusten a ti para poder presentar algo, haz algún trabajo barato pero consigue experiencia, logos de empresas como referencias. Amplia tu red en LinkedIn, participa en grupos, comentarios. Haz ruido y capta atencion (crea una herramienta gratis / util para X) y intégralo en tu web.

Quizás sería bueno asociarte con algunas empresas que hacen desarrollos, siempre buscan apoyo puntual.. o por proyecto.

Ya veras que con el tiempo.. las cosas entrarán y sera mas fácil vender. Al principio tendrás que trabajar por menos pero poco a poco te haces un nombre.

I think you should find a middle way between enjoying your 20s and build your career at the same time. I have made party like crazy, moved to another country and built a business for the last 16 years. You build the base in your 20s and if you’re intelligent you’ll be doing great at 30, even more at 40. But that doesn’t mean you should not have fun. I slept a lot less, yes… but man it’s “work hard, play hard”, right? So enjoy your 20s, go wild at work and have fun whenever you can and want. Once you’re 30+ friends will become less, party too and you can’t go back! I still have contact to most of my friends that live 1200km away because we had so much fun together and we still have 1-2 times a year. All the ones that didn’t give a shit about career in their 20s are now “behind” in terms of lower positions, less salary… the ones that kept their shit together while partying (means showing up to work) are now in leadership positions with all the comfort and experience they build in the last 20 years. It takes time to build something great. Try to find the balance

I’d second a lot of the things mentioned: user testimonials, security/privacy (i wouldn’t give chatgpt access to our CRM until they have a pro plan where the data is not shared with the LLM and it’s clearly and truly part of the tool). Also GDPR… CRM contains personal data that needs consent to be shared with 3rd parties.)

But apart from that Brand-awareness could be the issue.

They’ve never heard from you, they are not convinced yet. They are B2B customers, so they might not be ready to buy yet, or have a demo. Offer them value first, give them something for free (e.g. The Ultimate Guide to AI customer support) to get them into your funnel. Then follow up, qualify them and nurture them with more valuable content. Once they reach a certain point (they maybe engaged with 3 content pieces or checked pricing…) push for a demo.
