Show Transcript Six LinkedIn Ads myths debunked on this week's episode of the LinkedIn Ads Show.
Welcome to the LinkedIn Ads Show. Here's your host, AJ Wilcox.
Hey there LinkedIn Ads fanatics! Over the year, we've heard a lot of myths about LinkedIn Ads. Today, we're going to bust them like Jamie and Adam, if you get the MythBusters reference. First off, we've got some really cool stuff in the news. Matched and saved audiences are now under one page called audiences. And this is gradually being rolled out, so if you don't see it already in your account, you may notice it soon. And I think this is a great change. Anytime that we can get more information on one page, more compactly, I'm usually a fan of it. And it does make sense to have all different kinds of audiences, all in one location. Document ads are also out and in full force. You can attach PDFs, PowerPoints, really any kind of media that has multiple pages, and then you can get them with a lead gen form. So for instance, you can say, for the first three pages of this ebook, I want someone to be able to scroll through it. But then once they reach page four, it displays the lead gen form and they need to fill it out in order to progress. It sounds really cool in theory, and it worked so well, during the initial beta that didn't have lead gen forms, I thought this was going to be an amazing ad format. But we've tested it quite a bit and we haven't yet found better performance than before, just with single image ads and a lead gen form. But I'd love to hear about any of your experience if you're experiencing anything differently. There's also a new feature called Media Library. And it allows you to upload multiple images at a time, and then use all those multiple images, up to five, to create multiple ads at a time. And this is just creating image tests, because all of these ads are going to have the same intro and the same headline, but just with a different image. So pretty cool, if you're testing your images. If it's rolled out to your account, you should be able to access it within campaign manager by clicking inside of a campaign that's either for single image or video ads, and clicking on create ad, then when you click on upload for images, it'll bring up the media library. The certified marketing experts program is live. You've heard me before talk about getting LinkedIn certified. And this is how you do it. There are quite a few different levels, and they take time to graduate through them. So if you haven't already go get started now. The link is in the show notes. We've also noticed that the floor bids are gone in many of the accounts we have access to. The way it used to work is that you would enter a bid that was below the floor. And it used to pop up a message telling you what the minimum bid is for that audience. And it wouldn't let you run unless you put in a number that was greater than that. But now on many of our accounts, I'd say at least half, it pops up a message that says your bid of x may be too low to reach your target audience, increase your bid for better results. Now, initially, I expected that this change was because the LinkedIn Audience Network clicks are significantly cheaper than the floor bid to reach a LinkedIn audience. So if someone bids below the floor, they would just be getting mostly traffic from the LinkedIn Audience Network. But I kind of proved myself wrong on this, because I went to go create a campaign, even with LAN turned off and the same message still appears. I do think this is good because I've always hated that ther
