This week, Michael and Alfredo Roselli, Ad Badger Campaign manager, look closely at a product with a campaign structure issue: Having many mixed match types, too many products in a single campaign, and many products with different degrees of performance.

18 Apr 2025Sneaky defaults that drain your budget in 202500:40:41

In this episode with Noemi Bolojan, we’re talking about something a lot of people miss — the sneaky defaults in Amazon ads that quietly eat up your budget. You set up a campaign, trust the platform to guide you, and boom — money’s leaking without you even noticing.

Noemi breaks down how things like automatic bidding (yep, it goes up and down by default), broad targeting, and off-Amazon ads all kick in unless you change them. Sounds helpful, right? But in reality, those settings often work better for Amazon than they do for you.

Think your product is getting shown to the right audience? Not always. Default category targeting or expanded targeting might be pushing your ads to places they don’t belong — and you’re paying for it. 

So if you’re running ads in 2025, this episode is a little wake-up call.

    15 Nov 2024Amazon Inbound Placement Fees Explained: Strategies to Keep Your Costs Down00:22:08

    In this episode, Michael teams up with Amazon PPC expert Blair Forrest to tackle one of the biggest challenges sellers are facing right now: Amazon’s new inbound placement fees. These sneaky fees are quietly chipping away at sellers’ profits, and most don’t even realize how much they’re paying.

    Did you know Amazon now charges you extra just to split your shipments across its warehouses? Michael and Blair break down exactly how these fees work, why they’ve become every seller’s nightmare, and, most importantly, how you can fight back. They’ll reveal the surprising tricks to slash these costs — from choosing the right number of warehouses to partnering with prep centers that can save you thousands. They even explore how some brands have completely sidestepped Amazon’s fees by thinking outside the box.

    If you’re tired of watching Amazon eat into your margins, this episode is packed with clear, actionable strategies that can make a real difference.

    27 Aug 2021A Case for Segmenting Branded Keywords in Amazon PPC [AMZ PPC # 138]00:41:37

Learn if it’s ever not worth it to segment, how to approach branded segmentation for older accounts, and PPC goal setting based on funnels on this week’s episode of The PPC Den.
