Karon,
That was the most useful article of that type that I have ever read. I have read a lot of articles about writing ads and AdWords ads, but your text connected with me in a way that I could understand and absorb.
I feel like I could analyse my ads and make intelligent changes after reading your article.
Thank you. :thumbsup:

Well! I'm speechless. (Yeah, right! Not likely to happen in this lifetime!) :laughing: Seriously, thanks. I appreciate your kind words.

Ditto with the others. It made me understand the process better. I don't know how else to put it. Actually, I thought my users would read it the same way as I so I stole the article... (ok, redistributed it with due credit/byline and permission from Karon ;) ) and placed it on my main site.
I suppose I should apply this now. My PPC conversions are not 7 or 8%...

Compliments for a great article Karon.
We have been experimenting with things like having one keyword in description/title and the impact it has on CTR. Whats your comment on the same?
Cheers,

Thanks, PPC. Results from testing (done by others, not by me) suggest that it does help to have the keyphrase in the title of your ad because it helps to draw the surfer's attention to the ad. Usually I try to do this, if possible. However, the first thing I do is visit Google and type in the keyphrase to see what everbody else is doing.
If the majority of the ads have the keyphrase used in very similar ways, I go another direction. When the list of AdWords begins to look like every other one has the same title, I find it a good thing to be different in order to gain attention :)
