Do you need to increase your Google Adwords CTR (click-through ratio) for some ads?

Your specific ads ranking in the Adwords PPC system is not based soley on your max bid amount but instead on many different “relevancy factors.”

…Each keyword is assigned a Quality Score, which is determined by the keyword’s clickthrough rate (CTR), relevance of ad text, historical keyword performance, and other relevancy factors.

In this post I am going to talk about using creative Adwords ad titles and descriptions in an effort to increase your CTR on the ad.

Instead of using the same old boring ads like everyone else is using such as (“Keyword” = Product or Service Name):

Keyword Free Download
Read Our Review
Free Trial Downloads
www.MySite.com

I’m trying some outside the box ads such as:

Bad Keyword Really Sucks
Be Careful and Review
keyword service here first
www.MySite.com

If you don’t have the funds to bid into the top 1 to 3 spots and already are getting a high CTR you are going to have to try something a little different otherwise your Google Adwords ads are going to simply blend in with the rest.

How is your ad going to stand-out?!
People act on emotion
. Does your ad percieve you as the authority on the subject? Does is cause fear about them making the wrong decision? Does it use humor to draw in their curiousity? There are lots of different ways to make your ads stand-out but it important that they DO.

Here are some more creative ideas that may increase your Google Adwords CTR (keyword = your keyword choice):
