I use yesterday hourly reports to adjust CPC according to hours that ads was offline...if an ad was offline due to any reason for 4 hours,I will reduce CPC,but I would like to receive most possible clicks each day.. This method works great for me,but ads are offline some times due to daily spending limits on new adwords accts :| I can't spend more than $20 daily with one account and would like to get most possible click with this budget. Anyone knows how to adjust CPC to get most possible clicks each day(with lowest CPC)? Regards.
Micro managing like this on a $20 budget is a waste of your time. If your ads are not showing because your budget is not large enough to cover the whole day, then maybe use ad scheduling after you've found the most profitable hours for your ads instead.
$20 daily is still profitable and I always buy activated accts but manual bidding takes 2 ~ 3 days to be adjusted...do you know how Budget Optimizer works?I had some accts with budget optimizer enabled,but their system seems to takes at least 7 days to adjust CPC and send most possible clicks with certain budget. I do arbitrage and ad position is not important ...more clicks from adwords means more clicks on landing page.
no better way to do it than what you're doing. You might want to watch it on a weekly or monthly basis rather than a daily basis because of daily fluctuations.
I enabled budget optimizer for one of my camps($ 600 for 30 days/$ 20 per day),but Google spent $20 after 4 hours I didn't set click price limit. old method seems to be great....
