My dear there are people still having high success in Adwords (Google Ads). But, let me be down-right honest although it may butt-hurt you or anyone else. Do you really think people will so easily share the methodologies that work for them ? No one in his or her sane mind would share them. But why ? Some people work their asses off day and night without sleep, experimenting and getting things to run. And moreover no one wants working methods to get saturated too fast.
Here, take the bitter pill, sorry if it hurts …. You want to get your things to run in Adwords (Google Ads) ? Experiment, experiment and experiment doing different things AND things differently. That is what winners do. Gone are the days when spoon-feeding happens in internet marketing. It is now a "dog eats dog" arena.
People may discuss the trends out here to get an idea of what is happening. But you think that you will ask how people are still running their campaigns with high success and you will get the answers plain outright ? No, you will not. People work asses off sleepless nights to make things work and they will just share it with you ? Pull up your socks, intake caffeine, get to work your ass off.
