"The basic premise of the event is that hunters hunt rattlesnakes from the surrounding environment all across West Texas, and bring them into the roundup for the weekend. And during the roundup, these snakes are kept in a pit and then, one by one, beheaded and skinned in front of in front of audiences." - Elizabeth MeLampy Elizabeth MeLampy is a lawyer dedicated to animal rights and protection, and her passion for this work shines through in her latest book, Forget the Camel, the Madcap World of Animal Festivals and What They Say About Being Human . To research the book, Elizabeth traveled across the country, immersing herself in a wide range of animal festivals — from the Iditarod dog sled race to the rattlesnake roundup in Sweetwater, Texas. Elizabeth examines these festivals as revealing microcosms of our broader relationship with animals. Whether it's rattlesnake hunts, frog-jumping contests, ostrich races, or groundhog celebrations, these events reflect the ways humans use animals to express cultural identity, community pride, and historical traditions. Yet beneath the pageantry and excitement lies a deeper question: Is our fascination with these spectacles worth the toll it takes on the animals involved? With compassion and insight, Elizabeth invites readers to consider whether there’s a more ethical and empathetic way to honor our stories — one that respects both animals and the traditions they inspire. Please listen, share and read, Forget the Camel. It will be released on April 8th, 2025. https://apollopublishers.com/index.php/forget-the-camel/…

RPSB (Research peel stick and block) 2025 Update 28:04

לפני 29 ימים28:04

28:04

In this episode, we revisit the classic Research, Peel, Stick & Block (RPSB) strategy with Clément Hynaux, campaign manager at Ad Badger. Originally introduced in 2018, we break down how it has evolved over the years, whether it’s still relevant in 2025, and how to adapt it to modern Amazon PPC practices. We dive into campaign structure, which is much more complex than it seems, and discuss why it’s more like "vegetables" 🥕 than "chocolate."🍫 We analyze the impact of rising CPCs on keyword research, debate whether blocking keywords in source campaigns is still a good practice, and explore the concept of search term graduation, which has gradually replaced the traditional RPSB approach.

In this episode, join Mike and Mike Danford as they dive deep into a controversial Amazon PPC strategy that many sellers overlook but could save you thousands. Are your ads failing because you're not testing placement-specific campaigns? Let’s talk about what we uncovered. Here’s the hard truth: most Amazon sellers waste up to 90% of their ad spend on clicks that don’t convert. Shocking, right? But it doesn’t have to be this way. In this episode, we break down why duplicating campaigns and focusing on specific placements like product pages or search results can revolutionize your PPC strategy. Mike Danford, a seasoned pro from Adverio, shares how his team achieved single-digit ACOS by splitting campaigns into two distinct groups—one optimized for top-of-search results, the other laser-focused on product page placements.

At first, we weren’t sure it was worth the effort—TikTok seemed chaotic compared to Amazon’s predictable PPC campaigns.

In this episode, Michael dives into one of the biggest PPC headaches: non-converting spend. He doesn’t hold back, starting with a shocking stat—$500,000 wasted annually on clicks that don’t convert. If your ACOS feels out of control, it’s not because of your converting clicks. It’s those silent budget thieves—non-converting ones—that are dragging you down. Non-converting spend hides in your reports, and most people ignore it after their first analysis.

In this episode, Michael sits down with Sean Stone of Stone’s Goods to break down the essentials of Amazon listings. They talk about when and why it’s time to update or create one. Launching a new product? Your listing isn’t just there to fill space. It’s the first impression your product makes. Great images, sharp copy, and the right keywords are the foundation. But it’s not just about new products. Sean explains how search term data can guide updates. Then there’s the competition. Michael and Sean dive into what to do when a competitor is outperforming you. Maybe their copy highlights benefits better, or their images feel more professional. Instead of just watching them win, use their strengths to improve your own game.

In this podcast, I take you inside a real Amazon PPC account where I track down every non-converting dollar, showing you how most of it isn’t truly wasted but rather the cost of exploration.

You’ll hear how I tackled $2,700 of non-converting spend, broke down the myths of “wasted” clicks, and turned it into actionable insights.
