Bonus: Mike Ryan on Google Predictive Models, Lookback Windows, and Directional Decision-Making

Season 1

Thursday, January 20, 2022 • Duration 37:46

One of the things I love about this conversation with Mike, is how clearly he thinks through ramifications of technology, as a pro-tech person working at a software company. Give this episode a listen, and ponder not simply the attribution models that can be used in your Google Ads account, but the ramifications of utilizing them incorrectly... and the ramifications of Google making decisions in an increasingly black box world. In this episode, you'll hear the stuff we couldn't include in our full Core episode on attribution as we ponder attribution together. If you haven't heard that full episode yet, make sure to go check it out first.

Ep 2 - Attribution, Part 1: Definitions, Concerns, & Pitfalls to Avoid

Season 1 · Episode 2

Friday, December 3, 2021 • Duration 30:39

Attribution is something we all think we understand, but perhaps there are questions we haven't answered yet? In the next core episode of the PPC Ponderings Podcast, Kirk interviews four experts about Attribution to better understand what it is, and how we can mess it up... or rather, how we can mess up our understanding and usage of the models.

This episode focuses primarily on questions and concerns with attribution that should be kept in mind, while the next core episode will take a look at how we can practically use attribution in our PPC accounts. We'll start with the philosophy, and then move to the practical.

Big thanks to our four guests for the next two episodes (and stay tuned for their full interviews to be released as bonus episodes over the next few weeks):

Heather Aeder - Seer Interactive
Mike Ryan - SMEC
Nechama Teigman - AdVenture Media

Bonus: Full Keyword Interview with Aaron Levy

Season 1

Monday, November 22, 2021 • Duration 38:22

In this bonus episode, Kirk and Aaron Levy chat about common misconceptions PPCers have with the keyword as we release the full length interview. You may disagree with him, but you can't help but be challenged by Aaron's thoughts on why the keyword has changed, and why PPCers need to adapt their strategies along with these changes.

In our first Core Ponderings episode, we chatted with Brad Geddes, Amy Bishop, and Aaron Levy about the past, present, and future of the keyword. In these bonus episodes, we'll be releasing (most of) the full length interviews for each of them.

We thought their ponderings and insights were too good to let go, and we had to leave out most of their interviews from our main episode. We trust you will enjoy Aaron's ponderings in this full episode!
