Google AdWords Tips | Radical Tests to get Radical Results

While managing several AdWords campaigns and/or tons of keyword groups (which are hopefully as tight as possible), it can be easy to fall complacent over ads performing at a so-called satisfactory level. You look at your under-performing ones and get cornered into thinking your mental resources should go towards improving those.

Not so.

In fact, this is the perfect time for a radical test - one that is just beyond your rationale and levels of comfort. Try changing everything (not just adding a period or capitalizing a word), just to test your long-standing Winner and see what happens.

Here was one of ours:

CTR- -CR-Boost 

As you can see, those are pretty happy results. There are too many variables to explain exactly what brought about the results, so we won’t go there. But now we’ve got a new base to start from, and it’s considerably better than before.

And that keeps the lesson here a simple one: Resist complacency and test everything!

    Hi,

    I really respect you guys and the quality of work you do on your site. I was looking at one of the product reviews you did and my interest was piqued, but then I saw a number of other product reviews/endorsements with the same income numbers and statement “while others have been selling this we’ve been using it in the background.”

    Seeing the same statement and numbers quoted repeatedly shook my confidence and kept me from pulling the trigger.
