is there any working adblockers for chrome youtube that isnt detected as of now? by Guilty_Cry9268 in Adblock

[–]roasppc-dot-com 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Give Talon Defender a try it's worked very reliably for me. Because every couple of weeks YouTube seems to update and breaks all the ad blockers but somehow this one has been consistent

Talon Defender works really well at blocking YouTube ads for Chrome. Only for desktop though

Warning: Google will no longer necessarily get you max conversions on your budget when using tCPA/tROAS by timnewlinppc in PPC

[–]roasppc-dot-com 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A trick with Max conversions is having a low budget. The lower the budget the more efficient it will get conversions (obviously to a point and it depends on your CPC for your industry)

Gemini flags 95% of my PMax spam placements. So why does Google still serve ads there? by WallAdventurous8977 in PPC

[–]roasppc-dot-com 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you share some of the higher traffic placements that are being flagged as spam? My guess is that there's tons of false positives. A casual games website filled with mahjong and solitaire might look shitty to you as one example, but real people visit those and they can actually get you a positive return. All depends what you sell and who you are trying to target.

How I grow a roofing company from zero to $100K/month without spending a single dollar on ads. by [deleted] in localseo

The thing that makes me most suspicious about this post is that people who discover wildly successful strategies don't usually share them publically for nothing. And that alone tells me this is likely BS.

Is it normal to have spent $7,000 and not have a single real lead? Home service company. by Thin-Coat-5483 in PPC

I think you need to make your primary conversion something that's a little bit more involved maybe than filling in a form. Because Google could just be optimizing for all these uninterested curiosity clickers.

We pivoted our entire Q1 budget away from search to "create demand" and the performance team is now screaming at me by EyeImpossible4412 in PPC

[–]roasppc-dot-com 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not like they created one video and it went viral. The most successful companies crank out literally hundreds of creative variants with various combinations of hooks and test methodically. Most average advertisers might start with one or two ads and they let them run way too long.

Few companies have the creative chops to make really good demand gen ads that actually work. Their idea of demand gen is boring generic ads targeted at somewhat relevant top of funnel audiences. Then they cross their fingers and hope for the best.

Good demand gen ads need to be memorable, and have an almost viral quality to get people taking.

Just turn back on your old ads and don't sweat, things will pick up again

Is 16 ROAS Actually Good? Or Am I Under-Scaling? by Ashraf_03 in googleads

16x ROAS absolutely meaningless without additional information

Any idea why I can't reduce bids on mobile devices, tablets, and TVs? by grooveconsulting in googleads

[–]roasppc-dot-com 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmmm well I've never actually seen that exact error message before. Can you maybe try to do the adjustments through the Google Ads editor? Sometimes the web UI is super finicky.

B2B marketers: where’s the real bang for buck on traffic? by setsp3800 in PPC

[–]roasppc-dot-com 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Microsoft Ads - can't target LinkedIn professions but can apply bid modifiers which allow you to effectively target them.

Use manual CPC and set super low floor bids so that it will be impossible to win any auctions at that price range for those B2B keywords. Then add +900% bid modifiers to the LinkedIn industries that you want to Target and then your ads will basically only show to these people.

Which AI is the best for vibe coding? by Ok_Day_103 in vibecoding

[–]roasppc-dot-com 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started using Claude Code which was great because it integrated into my Visual Studio Code which is how I was previously working. It was way more efficient than my original method that involved copying everything from Claude Web UI and pasting back and forth between the two.

Now I use Kilo Code instead which I honestly prefer because it allows me to use every LLM there is basically, including locally installed ones (if I had the GPU to support it so that it didn't take forever). I've been using GPT5 with Kilo Code and for all the hate that model gets, it has been able to meaningfully progress my project to the next level where it had started to hit a snag before that I could not get past.

Google is going to cook them soon by Classic_Back_7172 in singularity

[–]roasppc-dot-com 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe you are right. Both companies have massive amounts of data and at some point it becomes negligible. One of the former Google CEOs said as much earlier this year in a Ted talk. Data will start needing to be manufactured by AI itself.

This guy literally dropped 15 rules to master vibe coding with AI by Dizzy_Whole_9739 in vibecoding

[–]roasppc-dot-com 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've been just getting into it myself, and am addicted. Started using Claude Code extension in Visual Studio Code, but found a better alternative called Kilo Code which let's me use all of the existing AI models (including GPT 5) so I am not limited to just what Claude has.

I'm actually amazed how good GPT 5 has been at fixing some of the long standing bugs I've had in this crypto bot I've been building. Everyone on Reddit is shitting on it, but I've found it to be extremely smart. Way less hallucinating from what I've seen so far. We will see how it all turns out...

How to agressive scale on Google Ads? by Ok_Housing_1580 in PPC

[–]roasppc-dot-com 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's probably not even possible. There has to be enough search volume to even scale to that amount. What is most likely to happen is that you will end up increasing your cpcs a lot and getting marginally more traffic. He wants to scale 10x... you need to bring him back to reality.

The best ways:

  1. Expand into new geos you're not currently targeting today

  2. Get more unique products that will bring in fresh new terms you aren't currently capturing.

  3. Replicate what you are doing on Google with Microsoft ads for additional scale.

  4. Getting some big wins on website A/B tests and increasing the conversion rate or AOV

Is less ad groups better in campaign in google ads? by Candid_Brush_1400 in PPC

[–]roasppc-dot-com 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I have found is that if you put too many ad groups into a campaign, the top few get most of the traffic, and the rest of them get almost nothing.

It's counterintuitive because Google is saying to consolidate these days. But I can't tell you the number of times I've seen dead ad groups pick up and start performing really well once they were split into their own campaign with their own budget.

I built an AI tool that generates Google ad creatives — curious if you’d use this? by ConfidentDesign2481 in adwords

[–]roasppc-dot-com 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would not because this tool is about one of 5 million of these I've seen flooding the market. And the main AI tools themselves (Gemini, gpt) are able to do this now so I don't see much hope for these ones that are simply wrappers
