The most interesting tip was this pie chart they revealed. It shows the results of study on what is the most important parts of your Google PPC campaign to focus testing on.
In the pie chart above:
The #1 thing to test on your Adwords ads is the Headline
The #2 thing to test is your Offer (Lines 1 and 2 of the ad)
#3 is the Display URL. Surprisingly, this one had little influence.
But the big surprise is this.
The biggest impact on ROI comes from testing the actual Landing Page.

“The biggest impact on ROI comes from testing the actual Landing Page.”
This is just so important.
You can have the greatest product in the world (or think you do);
you can have the best bonuses too.
But if your sales copy is weak then you’re in trouble.
Writing “Kick-A**” Sales copy is as important has having a great product. If people aren’t sold on the product then how are they ever going to benefit from it?

Testing Testing Testing.
