How do you cope with extremely expensive CPC?
CPC in my category has gone from 1.20$ per click, to upwards of 8-9$ for a single keyword (honey). How do you manage to advertise when 1 click eliminates your profit margin for 2-3 units? Struggling to build more brand awareness when its too expensive to advertise effectively.
My strategy as of late is just to try and grab all the low hanging fruit, setting default bid to 40-60 cents and hoping for the best. Avg around 1k impressions a day.
