Here&#8217;s<br \/>\nHow to increase the profitability of every<br \/>\nGoogle Ad you run:<\/p>\n<p>1.  Use keywords in your headline.  Google Puts them in boldface and that helps your<br \/>\nAd grab reader. Egoists and narcissists please Note: The name of ANY business makes a<br \/>\nLOUSY HEADLINE.  Your click-thru rate Will be low, and bid prices will be high.<br \/>\nThat&#8217;s because your ad is about your Company, not about what your customer<br \/>\nWants.  Your ad needs to be about your Customer, not YOU.<\/p>\n<p>2. Use keywords also in lines 2 and 3 Wherever possible.<\/p>\n<p>3.  Speaking of lines 2 and 3, it&#8217;s O.K.To run lines 2 and 3 together into<br \/>\nOne sentence.  Or all 3 lines, for that Matter.<\/p>\n<p>4. In your headline, capitalize the first Letter of EVERY word. But avoid all Caps.<\/p>\n<p>5. A single word change in your Headline can make the click-thru rate Go from .07% to 5%!<\/p>\n<p>6. Use the following formulas to create Great headlines: For example:<br \/>\nHow to _________ and ___________ What _______doesn&#8217;t want you to know Get more _______ for less ________ Some real life examples: How to smoke and not suffer the Consequences What the IRS doesn&#8217;t want you to know Get more fun for fewer dollars Look for other successful ads; find The formula in them, then apply themTo your product or service.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>7. Use numbers whenever possible. Wrong: Make lots of money. Right: Make $847\/week<\/p>\n<p>8. Note the difference between features And benefits.  Features describe.  Benefits<br \/>\nAnswer the question: What&#8217;s in it for me. For example, with your widget: Features<br \/>\nInclude yellow, strong, etc. Corresponding Benefits include easy to find when you<br \/>\nNeed it, will last long List all the features, then list all the Corresponding benefits.<br \/>\nIn your ad copy, Focus on the benefits.<\/p>\n<p>9. To begin writing, put the major benefit Into a short sentence.  Then hone it down,<br \/>\nDeleting excess words. E.g. Will last a Long time vs longlasting<\/p>\n<p>10. Be specific so you don&#8217;t get random Clicks.  Wrong: tennis  Right: antique Tennis racquets<\/p>\n<p>11. Delete unnecessary words like a, an, On, the, etc.<\/p>\n<p>12. Use attention-grabbing words like free, New, etc.<\/p>\n<p>13. When you do use the word &#8220;free,&#8221; do Not capitalize all the letters, and don&#8217;t use An exclamation point after the word.<\/p>\n<p>14. Use action verbs (discover, retire, Boost, increase, avoid, uncover, eliminate, Prevent, etc.<\/p>\n<p>15. Use active (vs passive) voice. Wrong: Discount shoes to be discovered  Right: Discover discount shoes<\/p>\n<p>16. Use emotional words (cheap, sale, Limited time, don&#8217;t lose out, easy, quick Powerful, etc.)<\/p>\n<p>17. Use motivational words. &#8220;Now is Your chance&#8221;  &#8220;Weight loss secrets you Should know&#8221;  &#8220;Discover your potential&#8221;&#8221;Tips you can use to make money now&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>18. Avoid crazy punctuation and wild Claims.<\/p>\n<p>19. Use 3d-party endorsements &#8220;blows Away Toyota Camry&#8221; says AutoWorld&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>20. Show how your product\/service is Unique (faster, wider variety, discount, Most comprehensive, lowest price, etc)<\/p>\n<p>21. Use call-to-action phrases (Buy today, Save 50%, download free trial now, sale Ends tomorrow, buy Today-save 70% Offer ends soon, Hurry before they&#8217;re gone)<\/p>\n<p>22. Learn to steal.  Yes, you read that right. All the top copywriters do it.  That is, study<br \/>\nGood examples from other advertisers and Substitute your own wording.  Better yet, Keep a collection of strong words and Phrases.<\/p>\n<p>23. Discourage freebie hunters by including A price.  Including the price actually Increases clicks.<\/p>\n<p>24. By the way, the word &#8220;free&#8221; increases Clicks.  This refers to a free sample, which Leads reader eventually to a sale.<\/p>\n<p>25. Very important: Try NOT to be #1 on The first page.  #2-8, yes.  Why?  Lots of<br \/>\nTire kickers click on the #1 ad. Fewer do on 2-8. But always shoot for the first page or<br \/>\nYou are wasting your advertising dollars.<\/p>\n<p>26. Do not indicate that you are an affiliate. Google doesn&#8217;t require that anymore. You&#8217;ll<br \/>\nIncrease sales without the affiliate Indication.<\/p>\n<p>27. Extremely Important: Always test 2 ads Simultaneously.  When you have a hit, try<br \/>\nTo beat it with another version (called &#8220;beat The control&#8221; in advertising lingo).  Google<br \/>\nWill automatically rotate your 2 versions.  Keep the better performing one, then try to<br \/>\nDefeat it with an even more profitable ad.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Google Cash Writing profitable ads is not difficult&#8230; IF you know copywriting secrets.
