The PPC Den: Amazon PPC Advertising Mastery

RPSB (Research peel stick and block) 2025 Update


Listen Later

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. 

 We’ll see you in The PPC Den!
