Google AdWords Tips | Triple Your Conversions With This Tip

January 9th, 2008 by Mike W. Read more about Copywriting, Google AdWords Tips

Not every­one can han­dle the con­tin­u­ous, infi­nite pos­si­bil­i­ties of test­ing ads.

Not even me.

That’s why you have to rally when you dis­cover a 200% boost in con­ver­sions with one of the old­est tricks in the book.

Take a look:

conversion-tip-4

What was the trick? It isn’t as black and white as we’d like, but the win­ning ad uses cap­i­tal­iza­tion and speci­ficity more astutely than the los­ing ad.

The result?

Nearly 200% increase in conversions.

Though we can’t tell the exact result of it here, try test­ing speci­ficity in your ads. Instead of say­ing “over 15,000 peo­ple served,” use the EXACT num­ber — “15,611 Peo­ple Served To Date.”

Spe­cific num­bers attract more atten­tion and are more unique, i.e. they’ll attract atten­tion. It cre­ates a more pow­er­ful mes­sage that may just stick in your vis­i­tors’ minds longer and more clearly.

Give it a try and let us know what happens.

    That is an inter­est­ing arti­cle. In our expe­ri­ence web­site own­ers find it dif­fi­cult to under­stand vis­i­tor behav­iour even with good sys­tems such as Google Analytics.

    We have recently come across an excel­lent piece of soft­ware that not only allows them to mon­i­tor indi­vid­ual user behav­iour in real time, but also facil­i­tates direct engage­ment between vis­i­tor and user. This has been increas­ing con­ver­sions by an aver­age of 15% in the web­sites we have imple­mented it in.

    It seems that the indi­vid­u­alised data gives a more enlight­en­ing perspective.
