Thanks for all these vids man. I'm looking to switch careers into digital marketing and PPC and your videos have been nothing but concise and helpful. It's one thing what Google educational materials for the certifications say, another thing - what is practical and works for real-life campaigns (and not what makes Google more money - those don't always overlap, I've read). No-bs videos like this are so helpful to wrap my head around the workings of Google ads and best practices. Please do keep up the good work!

Hey man, thanks for all the tutorials, I consider you as one of the best Google educational channel. I hope you make some tutorials that are based on Google Shopping Ads as they are also a big part of Google advertising.

Thank you so much for your informative post. I also suggest WASK to publish and manage your ads from one single platform. I am using it for three months and my conversion rate has already doubled.

What a great lesson. I took notes! Thank you! Question… at around the 12:25 mark. You're speaking, "They can drive the same performance at $14/day as they do at $10/day:…" I must not be interpreting this correctly. I'm thinking, "What?! Why would I wanna throw 'em $4 a day to drive the 'same' performance." I know I'm missing something. Could you break that down a bit more?

Thank you for another Amazing video.
Since you're sjowing how you're building all these amazing affiliate website, How do really mesure Conversions with Google Ads & Google Analytics?
Because, if you bring traffic to your affiliate pages on your website and they click on your Amazon links, How do you measure a Conversion?
How do you know, if the person who clicked on your affiliate link, made a purcase on Amazon?
I mean, you can see the Sale (Conversion) on the Amazon assoisiate platform, BUT how can you see it on your Google Ads or Analytics?
Love to see more video's about your affiliate links and conversion tracking and how you measure success.
Thank you!

what if your conversion is the booking/sale of a high ticket item? Ex. Selling a wedding package as a photographer? It's not realistic to be getting 2 conversions a day

If you increase the number of keywords in the working campaign by 10 times! Is it necessary to increase the daily budget by 10 times?
