This time we're diving into something truly under the radar that I've been thinking about for years: the eternal battle of Same SKU versus Other SKU ad sales.

A lot of sellers don't even realize one crucial detail. When you look at the revenue column in your ad account, you're not just seeing the sales of the exact product you're advertising. By default, Amazon lumps in the sales of your other products if a buyer clicks on your ad but ultimately chooses a different size, color, or a completely different item from your catalog. In this fresh episode of the PPC Den, we'll break down why this phenomenon can make your ACoS look way worse than it actually is, and how this confusion often pushes advertisers into making bad optimization decisions.

We’ll see you in The PPC Den!
