TikTok makes advertising so easy for me – I just upload up the video, set the country, and easy 200% ROI without thinking. AdWords, on the other hand, is giving me a pain.

Targeting keywords? Views are so low. Hardcore gamers audience? Same story I get the impressions, low views per day. If I increase bid from 0.02 bid it starts to get expensive. Why is AdWords struggling with targeting while TikTok feels like an automated gold mine that just works without thinking about the targeting?

And best part is I'm avoiding to put any links, so my account stays longer up. On tiktok they all manually type link in a browser. But I can't advertise on tiktok anymore because constant suspend, but that's another story. I just want to know how to make adwrods work like tiktok. Because I know my ad creative is good because it works on tiktok so well. So wtf is wrong with adwrods than?

What are your settings to achieve the same effect without putting any links?
 
You should stick to what's working for you the best, but from what you say, sounds like your Google Ads setup is not ideal.

If you're not experienced, make sure your conversion tracking is set up properly and try a pMax campaign. If you have the time, learn about different types of campaigns and what types of targeting each has.

If you have the budget, hire some to set up your campaign or get a consultation. It will probably worth it in the long run.
 
All my tiktok accounts are dead and suspended. I used to be able to run for a week on tiktok, get suspended, create a new account and run again. That method worked so well for me until one day Tiktok is instantly suspending my accounts the soon I try to run any ad. And now I try to repeat the same ads on YouTube but they just don't work for me at all. No matter what settings I try to use, everything is so expensive if I go above 0.02 and I don't get any ROI.

5 years ago I remember how YouTube was easy, it was like tiktok. You upload a video, set the hard core gamers audience, 0.02 and unlimited cheap traffic. All that without ever putting the link anywhere, just mention in in the video, or in the comments. I didn't even care optimizing anyting, I got my 150-200% ROI and I was happy.

I'm trying to figure out how to make adwrods do that again, there must be someting I'm missing here.

I've created a video maximize conversions campaign. Added the google.com search link that shows my website first so I avoid direct linking and suspend.
My conversion is tested and working on another domain that redirects to the offer, end of the whole funnel so basically a page load is my conversion.
Hopefully google will not spend too much money to find the right audience for this until tactually starts working.

I setup my audience to be people who have installed that game on their phone, because my niche is a mobile game. And I target only people on mobile. Hopefully that will work now, even though I have huge doubts that it will just spend money and I will get 0% ROI.

I will update this thread with most likely terrible results after it get's approved and start running.

Depends on what you are offering. Show us your offers.
 
Have you considered a non video creative? I'm not that experienced with that niche, so it's hard for me to understand your margins. Generally, though, I don't think it's wise to assume the same conversion rate for different platforms. 0.02 might get you great ROI on one and you can still lose with 0.01 on another network.

One thing I would advise you is to run your campaign using a weaker currency, to allow yourself to bid in smaller increments.

I've been doing video this whole time, never done search only video. Never used any clocker because I never put any links anywhere I just telll them in the video look here is the site go there. I know I loose a lot of performance by doing that but I don't care because this worked for me so well before and its still WORKS on tiktok(except I can't create ad accounts anymore) , but for some fucking reason same gold mine ad creative just done't work on adwrods and I don't know why and how to fix it.
 
Update: spend 20$ and got 0 leads, and few clicks on an offer. This adwrods shit is so bad that it hurts how bad it is.
I even make easy for them so they have a button that leads to a search query where my website is, so they don't even have to write the link in the browser manually.

On Tik Tok the same ad creative without the link where they manually have to type the link in browser I would already made 50-60$ with only 20$ investment. and 0 targeting, 0 interested, 0 thinking about anything.

I just don't know how to make adwrods work, it's incredibly expensive to run compared to tiktok. I just don't get it why is tiktok so efficient and better. I wish I could have tiktok account right now.

Get your ads running on TikTok again and scale it massively. Don't even think about AdWords again, it's obviously not working for these kind of offers for you. Go all in on what works.
 
The only reason why I'm trying to make adwrods work because it's impossible for me to create an tiktok ad account anymore and run ads, they get instant suspend the moment I press run ad, and I created probably 500 of them already with all possible combinations and I don't want to go through that hell again. That is why I need Adwords to work with at least 100% ROI and I would be happy, but even that is not possible just how bad it is. My whole thing is ruined, because tiktok has insane security about creating multiple accounts.
 
I wrote so many times on this forum and I received 0 solutions for my problems regarding Tiktok or Adwords. That is so sad. And I search the forum all the time and no one provides any solutions on how to create exactly tiktok ad accounts, or what settings do they use in adwrods to make campaigns successfully run with ROI. No one talks about anything important here, except some bullshit services so they can take money from you, or they talk about methods that only waste time and not even work.

You want a method that works?
Figure out how to make a working tiktok ad accounts that can run my mobile game niche without suspend and you'll be millionaire. If you don't know how, I'll prove it to you. You'll get 20% from what I earn with it.
 
Each platform will have its own algorithm. If you make money from tiktok keep going
Why haven't I thought of that brilliant idea that I just have to keep going and use tiktok. Wow. If i had a magic wand that will keep my accounts live not get instant suspended the moment I try to run the ads this fucking thread would not even exist on bhw.

Also a small update, I did try to run ads again on tiktok, No targeting at all, and I used the most stupid possible ad creative that I could think off where I don't mention anything, I don't have script at all in video that even explains what they have to do.100% ROI easy and than my account got suspended again because reason is gambling, and I don't promote gambling. That is how powerful tiktok is, you can literally run SHIT and it will give you money, to run the same ad creative on stupid adwrods I would go bankrupt.

The most apt way to describe TikTok Ads would be "A Gold mine surrounded by a minefield." there's certainly gold at the center, but you have to sift through so much catastrophic shit to reach that treasure. But make no mistake, it's there. Idk about Adwords, but I used to have your exact problem of constantly getting banned whenever I made a new TikTok ads account. The bans would either be immediate or right after launching a campaign. To cut to the chase, I solved it by basically focusing on other business ventures for a couple of months then buying an agency account from one of those "TikTok Marketing Agencies" that pop up on Google. I believe the specific agency was Mega Digital, but I don't really think it matters; they likely all sell the same shit.

Point is, their account worked & ever since I haven't had to worry about getting banned anymore *BUT* I also haven't tried selling the product which got me banned since then, so idk if this will work too reliably for you.

That said, do you think you can walk me through some of the kinks regarding these TikTok Threshold accs?
