Tips for Newbie

Hi guys,

I'm doing affiliate marketing and I'm running some ads.

I have experience in building converting pages but not with Google Ads.

I started a campaign with max conversions but I switched it off as I was getting 25 EUR CPCs with no CTR inside the landing page.

Then I switched to maximize clicks with a $1 max CPC. I'm getting 20-30 clicks a day, all at max 0.99 cents.

I already got 2 conversions.

Although it didn't track in Google Ads, it was my mistake.

Should I switch to Manual CPC with the setting (Help increase conversions with Enhanced CPC) enabled for conversions?

Or leave it unticked?

What's the amount of tracked conversions for them to switch to maximize conversions?

I was reading here and many said that maximize clicks is a waste of money, that's why I'm confused.

Also, to learn more about Google Ads in depth, should I take the Google Ads course?

I'm interested in learning and I'm here to ask. Sorry to be a newbie.

My ads CTR is 15%. I'm matching only one keyword in phrase match. That keyword got 2 sales.
