Really?
« on: June 10, 2021, 07:21:46 AM »
This from the 'Zon:

Suggested bids are higher through Prime Day
Suggested bids are higher than usual due to an expected increase in costs per click during Prime Day. Consider using the suggested bids to help drive more traffic to your ads and generate more sales.

A rising CTR and falling impressions... Orders? HA!  It seems, catching a break is not an option.

Venting over, carry on.

In my experience, following their bidding advice is a good way to go broke. 🤷‍♀️

Following Amazon's suggested bids is like following a car salesman's advice regarding how much to offer for a new vehicle.

AMS continues to be all about relevance. I speak as someone who continues to spend a lot on AMS every day.

"The State is an institution run by gangs of murderers, plunderers and thieves, surrounded by willing executioners, propagandists, sycophants, crooks, liars, clowns, charlatans, dupes and useful idiots -- an institution that dirties and taints everything it touches." - Hans Hoppe

"Virtue is more to be feared than vice, because its excesses are not subject to the regulation of conscience." - Adam Smith

Nothing that requires the labor of others is a basic human right.

It's weird but my rank has been steadily rising but my impressions on amazon have been falling. Yet my sale rate is actually increasing. It kinda makes my head hurt to make sense of that.


The only place im making a profit on ams ads is CA. UK hates me. Canada weirdly likes my books for cheap clicks.
