Top 10 PPC News-Parade September 6-13, 2026

• GoogleAds: Pay attention to GAds credit confirmation/revocation times, videos in products, automatic promotion assets, AI dashboard, tCPA/ROAS reactions to the 8/17 update, product-level conversion value changes, new tracking features;
• MetaAds: Impact of historical changes, manual or automatic?
• ChatGTPAds: Agreement with Amazon, mini-step-by-step guide;

1) Pay attention to timing and verification of Google promotional credits

PS: I HATE “COMMENT-TO-SEE” contents (which are the new black on LinkedIN), but IF YOU LIKE THE PPC NEWS-PARADE AND WANT ME TO KEEP IT OPEN: LIKE IT, COMMENT ON IT OR SHARE IT, or we’ll see it only me, you and my uncle (but I can call him by phone, which is faster! Thaaanks ;-))

May the ROI be with you! And… more peace for everyone!
