Adwords ads that convert well can be easily done if you take the time to study classified ad writing as well as some copywriting. You probably know that Adwords ads, or any PPC ads, are very short; still though the concepts of copywriting still apply. There's always room for improvement, and you can do that after you read the following tips for writing Adwords ads that have greater power and impact.
List the very best benefits you have to offer to your prospects, and write them out from strongest to weakest. One important item to note: you always want to use benefits in your advertising and marketing, but there are some exceptions where a mix is best. If your XYZ Widget can save 2 hours a day for someone, then a good benefit is not only time savings but being able to use that time for more productive activities. People respond much better when they see what is in it for them - the benefit. If you tell people the specs of your software, they will yawn and click on another ad. So your benefits will speak to some people, not all, but some will click on it. You can create a list of all the most powerful benefits, and then you can just test them against each other.
Don't stop there; make sure you're testing out your ads to find the copy that's converting the best.
A call to action is an integral part of all good copy, and that includes PPC ad copy. Not all markets are the same, and that is why you should make the effort to test your ads with a call to action, and without one. People are interesting creatures, we know, but tons of research shows that they'll respond in higher numbers to a call to action. Besides that, when you have a call to action, it makes the purpose of your ad clear. It's always impossible to know which particular call to action will work the best, so just test them. One other positive reason for using calls to action is they serve to completely remove any indecision from the readers mind - it's not manipulative but rather the way human nature is.
Last but not the least; try to weave in a story in your ad copy. This might sound too difficult, but in actuality it can be simple. Put something, write something - ask a question; force your readers to feel empathy or sympathetic emotions over what ever it is you say. Of course you can always split test this, but you should try it because it is very powerful when done just right. There are many other things you can do to boost your AdWords ads conversion rates.
