Standard bid strategy

Hi. I was wondering if there’s a general or standard strategy to use on any campaign (mainstream, adult, etc.). The idea is to have a point to start and from there optimize and improve the campaign. I’ve been reading that bidding to low is bad. You will get low quality traffic and the higher bidders will always be over you. If you bid to high your budget will be depleted very soon without enough data to analyze (unless you have a huge budget). Is there a safe way to start bidding without getting bad traffic? Thank you.

I remember this one - https://stmforum.com/forum/showthrea...-about-bidding

Still not sure?

Check these links:

And maybe this article in our academy will be useful to see how to play with the bid (Case on Exoclick)

I really hope it helps!
