Tips to Write Better AdWords Ad Copy
Posted by guru1 in Uncategorized on May 23rd, 2011
Your PPC campaigns will improve if you do some reading about copywriting principles. The only difference between writing traditional copy and copy for your AdWords campaign is that here you have to convey your message in only a few words, which makes it more challenging. We would like to share about 3 very solid copywriting concepts that you can apply in your Adwords PPC campaigns.
Be sure to proceed slow but steady with your ad testing if you’re not highly experienced. You’ll be doing A/B split testing, and you don’t do that by testing everything all at once. You only test one part per test such as the headline, or some other part. The reason is that when your conversions change, you need to know what caused the change. Remember to track your click through rate because if your ads performing well, you’ll get a high number of clicks.
Your PPC ads must convert, and if you’re not experienced writing advertising copy then it really can be a challenge. For one thing, don’t waste any ad space by using words that are superfluous. You have little space and time to create an impact on the reader, 60 characters maximum. You have to get a lot done: the headline captures attention and the ad body is interesting enough to make people curious and click through to your site. The nature of Google AdWords, or any PPC platform, is that people won’t return if they leave the SERPS page, generally speaking. Your headline must really grab people, and then your ad needs to take over and do its job. Now you have a better idea as to why your ad copy needs to be tight with no wasted words. Sure, the competition is tough, but you can certainly succeed with knowledge and experience. No matter what you put in your ad, just remember you have to test it. You always need to carefully consider whether or not to use the word “free” in your ads. Also, your ads always must be very clear about what is being offered. Your website must be relevant and what the reader/surfer is expecting to see.
One approach you can try, and it can work well, is to ask a compelling question in your ad. Don’t make them think too much, never, but rather ask a question that just drives the dagger all the way home. You want people to feel like they won’t be able to get to sleep until they know the answer. There is real power in this strategy, but the key is in the question. If you’re brand new to PPC and Google Adwords, then take the time to learn from a reputable source, and then get started on it.
