Hey Robert,
Have you gone through the advertiser verification process and setup your account so that your ads show your name etc?
If you have not done this then you're going to want to verify as that sounds related.
On any advertiser, you can click the 3-dots next to the Google Ad, and a popup like the one attached will show up. It'll show you the advertiser. If you are not verified, then this could cause your traffic to be limited.
Let me know if this helps.

I have two websites. One is established and up until recently has been used for trying to grow my business via organic traffic. I've recently run my first PPC ad in Google Ads
You can definitely use the same Google Ads account to manage campaigns for both of your websites, but whether that’s the best move depends on a few things, and it’s not always as straightforward as it sounds. Using a single account keeps everything under one roof—easy access, no extra login hassle, and consolidated data for tracking performance. That said, managing two different sites in one account has its own quirks.
For example, Google Ads doesn’t separate "themes" within one account as cleanly as you might want, especially if the sites have distinct audiences or business goals. Ads, keywords, budgets—they all get tangled up under one account history, which can affect Quality Scores and performance metrics. If one site suddenly goes in a different direction or underperforms, the ripple effects can spill over into the other. Plus, reporting can get messy when trying to split data specific to each site’s performance.
Now, if you do decide to go with one account, you can set up separate campaigns or ad groups for each website. This way, you’ll at least have some division of data and budgets between the two. But, if you’re aiming for truly distinct PPC strategies and want clear data segmentation or flexibility to pause one without impacting the other’s Quality Score, setting up a second Google Ads account might actually be worth the added hassle in the long run.
Also, be aware of Google’s policies—having multiple accounts for similar businesses can sometimes trigger Google’s watchful algorithms. So in my opinion for clarity have two accounts
Thanks for the detailed response. I get it. My follow up question is, if I set up a second account, will it offer the same spend $500/get $500 credit offer?
I'm a rookie when it comes to PPC. I want to be as careful with my spending as I can.
I can afford to spend some money and have a budget but I want to get the best bang for my buck, as it were.
My plan is to be conservative but scale as aggresively as needed if and when I find success.
In my past experience with PPC, I got nothing but poor. I don't want to go down that road again. That was several years ago. I've learned a lot since then and my situation is much different today.
If there's one thing I've learned from my past experience is that I don't know as much as I thought and I need to listen to the voice(s) of expertise and experience. I also know I can't listen to too many people at once.
At this point, I'm leaning toward creating a second account.

Two new people subscribed to my email list on Aweber that say pending. What do I need to do or do I need to do anything at all?
An option is to remove the double opt-in if you don't require it. Which would add them to your list without confirmation.
When you see "Pending" in the "Status" column, it means we've sent a confirmation message to that subscriber, but they have yet to click on the link inside.

They may need to accept the invitation first.
Possibly a visitors | reader input here is required.

I'm in the process of dipping my toes in the PPC water via Google ads. As per advice I've received here in the community, I'm starting small-$10 a day, just to get my feet wet,
All I can say is ensure devices are configured... tablet is set to -100% and mobile is set to -100% so you don't get that traffic that way. it eats your budget so fast. OR you can let it go. Have fun!
Warning, be sure to never include an affiliate link in your ads, only a link to your review page or related content that links to the review page. Google sees affiliates as enemies because Google smokes CRACK.
They will eventually call back, saying they have been trying to reach you about your extended car warranty. ....
Joking! Hope it works out for you!

I’d probably never call Google on the phone unless you absolutely love slow torture. It’s not anything against Google itself, but it’s just like trying to call Facebook or Instagram on the phone. You’re going to get nowhere.
The good thing is you can observe all your PPC analytics to see your impressions, clicks, etc., on your own without needing to call anyone one the phone. Jay, Vitaliy, and Kyle all have great classes on PPC.
Remember, PPC can and will be frustrating initially as you’re paying for clicks and not getting conversions, but if you master it the payoff is worth the effort. I always advise to first learn and get experience with organic conversions first before diving into PPC, but there’s nothing wrong with wanting to learn PPC by diving in. You can always turn off a PPC campaign to stop the bleeding.
Hi Rob
I would PM Vitali, who can give you a quick answer, and watch all his video training on PPC. 😎

Hi Kerri
If having as much fun as humanly possible is not behaving myself, then ... NO! Lol 😆
Happy Friday! 🤘🥳
Frank 🎸
Yeah, having fun can take a lot of effort, especially when poorly planned, but it's worth it! Lol 😎
Vitali has some awesome training on PPC
You can check out his profile, use the magnify glass and the classes tab and search for him, or PPC in those sections. I saw one for beginners that show you how to set it up, how much to spend etc. I cant remember the name though, you can do a search and find them :-)

I appreciate all the replies. I've been watching Vitaliy's videos. That's where I learned what I have. I'm working with Kyle too. I try to spread out my pestering amongst everyone rather than bothering just one or two others.

I created a Google Ads account and have published my first ad but, I got this from Google and I'm not sure if I should do it or where to do it.
The first part about ins
You want to use the WPCode plugin.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/insert-headers-and-footers/
You may copy and paste the whole script into the header; one time is sufficient.
If you edit your PHP files directly, you will lose the code during theme updates and will have to reapply it. Also, it is NOT advisable if you do not know what you are doing.
You may check out Eric's vlog visually how it is done.

Check Eric's short vlog visually how to go about it. How to Add Code (Meta tag) to Your Header in Wordpress Abie
It goes in the header in your WPCode, activate and save. You should be good. Once is enough. I hope you are able to figure it out.
Abie
I think I somehow stumbled into getting it right but I can't say I've figured it out. I do appreciate your response and attempt to help.
You'd know if it's working, and this way, it remains there despite theme updates.
You're good to go. Fingers crossed, lol
Let us know if otherwise.
Abie
You can reach out to site support to help install the Google Tag and event snippet on your website. That way, you can avoid any issues with editing theme files yourself. They’ll ensure it’s done correctly.
As for your ad strength being low, try adding more headlines and descriptions in your Google Ads account. This gives Google more to work with, helping improve performance.
Getting site support to handle the tag installation will make sure everything runs smoothly!
