    scaling cpa with pbn traffic is a direct numbers cheat, heres my test

    split testing LPs, you're probably doing it wrong

    People act like split testing is a magic pill but they forget the foundation matters. If your traffic is shit or the test is too broad, it's like trying to tune a broken radio.

    Hired a link agency last year, here's what the numbers actually looked like

    Numbers without context are just hot air. Show me the actual CTR and bounce trends over time or it's just another shiny screenshot. data doesn't lie but it also doesn't tell the whole story if you only look at one moment.
