Win of the Week – 164% Increase in CTR for Job Interview Questions

Monday, January 9th, 2012

 

Take a look at the two ads below. Imagine you’ve got a job interview lined up. Maybe it’s the first job interview you’ve had in years. You want to brush up on your skills — maybe even get a “sneak peek” of the questions you’ll be asked. So you start looking for job interview questions and answers. Which ad do you click on?

 

PPC Ad #1

Ad #1 - Job Interviews
PPC Ad #2

Ad #2 - Job Interviews

 

The ads are fairly unique. The URLs are the same, but everything else is different. Which ad do you think generated more than twice as many clicks?

Win of the Week – 111% Increase in CTR for Logo Design

Monday, December 19th, 2011

 

Take a look at the two ads below. Imagine your current business logo is feeling a bit dated. Or imagine you’ve started a new company and you want a sharp logo to represent your new business. So you start looking for a logo designer. Which ad do you click on?

 

PPC Ad #1

Logo Design - Ad #1
PPC Ad #2

Logo Design - Ad #2

 

Notice that the ads have much in common. The title text is identical. The URLs are almost identical. The primary difference between the two ads is found in the body copy. Which ad do you think generated more than twice as many clicks?

Win of the Week – 150% Increase in CTR for Virtual Memory

Monday, December 5th, 2011

 

Take a look at the two ads below. Imagine your once-fast PC has become painfully slow. You keep getting warnings that say your virtual memory is low. So you go to Google and type in “increase virtual memory.” Which ad do you click on?

 

PPC Ad #1

Ad #1 - Virtual Memory
PPC Ad #2

Ad #2 - Virtual Memory

 

Notice that the ads have much in common. The only differences are in the title text and the first line of body copy. Yet one of these ads outperformed the other by a large margin. Which ad do you think generated more than twice as many clicks?

Win of the Week – 95% Increase in CTR for Brain Games

Monday, November 21st, 2011

 

Take a look at the two ads below. Imagine you’re a middle-aged man or woman who’s interested in sharpening your memory and increasing your brain power. You go to Google and type in “brain games.” Which ad do you click on?

 

PPC Ad #1

Brain Games - Ad #1
PPC Ad #2

Brain Games - Ad #2

 

Of course, the ad YOU click on may not be the same ad the majority of people click on. So perhaps a better question is: Which ad do you think would generate almost twice as many clicks?

 

And THAT is not an easy question to answer. On the one hand, you’ve got a matter-of-fact keyword-rich ad. On the other, you’ve got an ad using mental imagery and emotion. Two distinctly different approaches.

 

Alright, made your decision?

Win of the Week – 164% Increase in CTR for ADA Signs

Monday, November 14th, 2011

 

Take a look at the two ads below. Imagine you are a business owner who is looking for signs that comply with the American with Disabilities Act (ADA). You know you’ve got to buy ADA signs to comply with the law. You’re not deciding whether or not to get these signs — only who to buy them from.

 

With that in mind, which ad would you click on? Which one would be more likely to earn your business?

 

PPC Ad #1

Ad #1 - ADA Signs
PPC Ad #2

Ad #2 - ADA Signs

 

This is not an easy contest to call. The ad that lost was the control ad for months. It beat quite a few challenger ads. Even though it lost badly in this contest, it’s a REALLY good ad.

 

Surprisingly, there is no difference in the title or URL. The only differences are in the body copy of the ad. It’s unusual to see such a large difference in CTR between ads that have the same title/URL.

 

Alright, made your decision?
