3 Bad Habits in Amazon PPC It's Time to Break
In this episode, we stumble upon a surprisingly effective Amazon PPC strategy: giving your mouse a break. Honestly, we all know that itch to jump into our campaigns and start tweaking things just to feel like we're doing something when we're stressed about performance. But we chat about why that urge to over-optimize is a massive trap. Clément puts Michael on the spot with some live math to prove how an innocent little $1 bid can secretly turn into a $3 budget-eater if you aren't paying attention to those sneaky dynamic modifiers.The big takeaway? Clicking around your ad account just to feel busy is a whole lot of activity, but zero strategy. So, take a page out of Michael's book and let's talk about why the absolute smartest thing you can do for your PPC right now is probably to just grab a coffee, step back, and leave it alone.We’ll see you in The PPC Den!🦡 Highlights 00:00 – Intro01:34 - Why Restraint is the Hardest Skill in Amazon PPC02:38 - Trap #1: Reacting to Campaign Data Too Soon05:31 - The Rule of Thumb for Lookback Windows & Attribution09:15 - Trap #2: Not Knowing Your True Bid Range (Surprise Math!)14:30 - How Ad Rank & Product Listings Impact Your Bids19:20 - Trap #3: Why Busywork & Activity Do Not Equal Strategy24:58 - Episode Summary 🦡 Resources & Links🦡 GET AD BADGER ➡️ Find Michael Erickson Facchin — Ad Badger’s CEO and soul, PPC whisperer, and your go-to guide through the wild world of Amazon advertisingOur guest today is Clément Hynaux, Campaign Manager at Ad BadgerAdvanced Amazon PPC Bid OptimizationWhat is the role of data in Amazon campaign management?How Should I Analyze My Data for my Amazon PPC Campaign?📚 Unlock our FREE comprehensive Amazon Marketing PlaybookSubscribe to our newsletterTransform your workflow with our comprehensive Amazon Advertising checklistReview all our show notes-Host and Executive Producer: Michael Erickson FacchinGuest Co-Host: Clément HynauxSenior Producer: Nancy Lili GonzalezPodcast Coordinator & Graphic Designer: Sofiia PodashVideo and Audio Editor: Pedro Moreno

Why Your Amazon Ad Revenue Is Misleading (Same SKU vs Other SKU)
This time we're diving into something truly under the radar that I've been thinking about for years: the eternal battle of Same SKU versus Other SKU ad sales.A lot of sellers don't even realize one crucial detail. When you look at the revenue column in your ad account, you're not just seeing the sales of the exact product you're advertising. By default, Amazon lumps in the sales of your other products if a buyer clicks on your ad but ultimately chooses a different size, color, or a completely different item from your catalog. In this fresh episode of the PPC Den, we'll break down why this phenomenon can make your ACoS look way worse than it actually is, and how this confusion often pushes advertisers into making bad optimization decisions.We’ll see you in The PPC Den!🦡 Highlights 0:00 - Live from the Austin trails0:29 - What Amazon's dashboard is hiding from you1:32 - How Other SKU sales actually work2:22 - The ONE report you need to download right now3:58 - Is your ACoS secretly terrible?
