I was thinking about this while comparing diffrent PPC traffic sources.
Some platforms give more details about the websites where ads appear, while others provide more information about the audience.
If you had to choose one, which data would help you make better campaign decisions? and why?

It depends on the campaign. for a niche offer, website data can be useful, while audience data may helpmore with a broad product.
 
For me, both are important, but website data comes first because some websites bring better quality traffic than others.
 
i think audience data is more useful because it gives you an idea of what type of people are interested in your ads and more likely to convert
 
Audience data helps with targeting, but placement data can reveal where the budget is going and I would choose whichever gives clearer insights into actual conversions rather than just clicks.
 
For me, audience data would come first and It helps identify which users are more likely to convert instead of focusing only on clicks.
 
I think placement level reporting is more useful coz you can cut off bad placements and put more budget into the ones that actually convert.
 
It depends on the campaign. audience data helps when testing, while placement reports help find where the budget is being wasted.

Yes, placement reports can help identify placements that are spending money but not converting. But I would compare placement reports to conversion statistics as well because clicks may be low for many reasons.
 
I think both are useful, and having a mix of placement and audience data makes it easier to understand overall campaign performance.
