Non-Converting Spend: Misunderstood or Mismanaged? A Closer Look at Your PPC Campaigns [The PPC Den Podcast]

September 12, 2024
By The Badger

In this podcast, I take you inside a real Amazon PPC account where I track down every non-converting dollar, showing you how most of it isn’t truly wasted but rather the cost of exploration. I share my own experience of sifting through search term reports, finding those sneaky one-click wonders that add up fast but hold the key to your next big optimization. You’ll hear how I tackled $2,700 of non-converting spend, broke down the myths of “wasted” clicks, and turned it into actionable insights.

We’ll see you in The PPC Den!
