The title of top PPC network on the internet still belongs to Google Adwords, and they are expected to remain on top for years. What’s great about Adwords is that anyone can setup an account and run a campaign in a few hours. Any ad words campaign needs compelling ads in order to be successful. There is a limitation on the number of text characters when advertising on adwords so make sure you select the right combination of words and statements to get your audience’s attention and generate click-throughs.

A whole science has emerged around writing effective adwords ads and knowing what to right in each line is just a part of it. If you’re just starting a new Google Adwords campaign, here are some essential tips for writing that first ad:

1. Use the keyword in the headline. People tend to click more on ads if the headline includes the keyword or keyphrase they typed in Google‘s search box, according to Perry Marshall and Bryan Todd, authors of the book “The Ultimate Guide to Google AdWords“. Use this to your advantage and capture people’s attention instantly.

2. State a benefit in the second line. Internet users usually take action when they see a benefit after reading the attention-grabbing headline. It is important for you to differentiate between benefits and features. State what they will gain from you before giving out the details of your offer.

3. State a feature or offer on the third line.  When you’ve clearly stated the benefit, then it’s time to introduce your special offer or a feature that supports the benefit. Keep it short and simple, and make sure this line does not overpower the second line.

4. Place your landing page URL in the last line. You can link your ads into any page or URL within your website. Do not link all your ads to your homepage. This is a great reason to set up a separate landing page specifically for your Adwords campaign; this landing page URL can be inserted into every ad you run so you can track how well your ad is performing.

5. Test results with a similarly written ad. You can run two similar but differently worded ads to improve your campaign. You can still use the same keywords and keyphrases, but tweaking these slightly and measuring for performance can help you generate more clicks on each ad run.

All elements needed for success in Google Adwords can be mastered with practice. Remember to track your performance always so that you can pinpoint areas for improvement. In any case, don’t delay your usage of Google adwords and follow these tips to start running ads now.
