About Ad Badger
Ad Badger is an Amazon PPC management platform that takes a profit-first approach to advertising optimization. While most tools optimize for ACoS or ROAS, Ad Badger's proprietary algorithm focuses on Revenue Per Click — a metric that better reflects actual profitability by accounting for the revenue generated from each click rather than just cost efficiency. The platform combines AI-powered daily micro bid adjustments with custom rule-based automation, automated negative keyword harvesting, and comprehensive campaign analytics. Ad Badger is also known for the PPC Den podcast, one of the most popular Amazon advertising education resources, making it a dual software + education company that helps sellers understand PPC strategy alongside tool execution.
