I still check important links and sources myself. Automation can speed things up, but small mistakes can easily go unnoticed.

Short, basic articles that only answer one keyword have become harder to grow. Content with real examples and useful details seems to perform better.

Thats pretty normal, i always use backend sales as the source of truth and treat platform numbers as attributed not actual orders

Ive seen weird traffic too, but id check search terms and targeting first before blaming click fraud.

I've had decent results with Bing, traffic is lower but clicks are usualy cheaper and good enough for testing.

It can work, but for small budgets i think its only worth it if your targeting is super tight otherwise costs add up fast.

Every GEO behaves differently, so it's usually best to localize creatives, messaging, and bidding rather than copying the exact same setup.

For new websites, Media.net, Ezoic, and Monetag are popular AdSense alternatives, depending on your traffic volume and niche.

Google Ads can still work for Amazon affiliates, but most profitable campaigns focus on high-buying-intent keywords and content-rich landing pages rather than direct linking.

Happens sometimes, could be Google update or competition. Try improving content, check backlinks, and promote it again, usually traffic slowly comes back.

Usually its high competition or expensive keywords, Google can spend the budget fast even when click volume stays low and CPC keeps changing.

I usually do one campaign per category, keeps CPA clean, and then use ad groups for each product. Lets smart bidding get enough data without mixing very different margins.

Im still running both. Standard Shopping gives me way more control and cleaner data, while PMAX is decent for scaling. I keep brand traffic separate too, otherwise PMAX tends to take credit for conversions it probably didnt create.

As far as i know there isnt any fixed threshold, Google can ask for business verification at different stages depending on account activity and risk signals.

From what i seen, AI posts can rank long term too, but only when they got real value and not just mass generated stuff.
