Introduction
There’s really nothing better than discovering the real results that real Google Pay-Per-Click
(PPC) ads produce in the real world. In this book, those real results are presented to you -
again and again.
Google AdWords is considered by many as the most powerful method of gaining business
today. It’s an extremely powerful tool – that’s true.
But its inherent power leads many, many advertisers to great frustration.
That’s not the worst of it. A downward spiral of ad performance can lead you to throw more
and more cash at Google (and they really don’t need more of it!) in a desperate attempt to get
AdWords performing as well as you ‘know’ it should. Everyone else is doing so well with
Google Pay-Per-Click….aren’t they?
Well, actually - they’re not. No way.
How can this be? A few advertisers discover the right mix of techniques and strategy to
make AdWords work extremely well. Good for them.
But many more struggle and ultimately throw in the towel, vowing never to touch Google
AdWords again. More than one business has gone bankrupt, after blowing massive amounts
of cash on Google AdWords and giving up.
And that’s just beyond stupid. What’s more, it’s a real shame. Because Google AdWords
truly can be one of today’s best methods to grow your business.
Is there a way out?
Yes. The trick to winning at Google PPC is to discover the mistakes of others, then applying
lessons from in-depth, valid research. Plus testing, testing, testing.
We’ve done most of that for you. Now, you simply have to select the Secrets most helpful
for you, and gradually start bringing them into your own Google AdWords campaigns.
You’ll notice the 37 Secrets are not grouped in any particular order. That’s intentional - for
two reasons;
1. Google AdWords success is achieved by considering a wide variety of factors.
2. Presenting each Secret throughout the book in a varied manner makes it very
readable, as it holds your interest. Let’s face it - it’s not easy to get excited about, say,
keyword selection. But show us a single word change in our ads that boosts
performance by over 100% - now we’re talking!

Helpful AdWords and Online Marketing
Definitions and Abbreviations Used in this Book
Ad Rank/Positioning
An ad's position is based on its Ad Rank, which is determined by your keyword or Ad
Group's maximum cost-per-click (CPC) times the matched keyword's Quality Score. For the
top positions above Google search results, however, we use your ad's actual CPC to
determine its position.
Ad Variations
Ad variations are multiple versions of an ad for a single product or service, all based on the
same set of keywords. Variations are a good way to test many versions of the same message
to see which works best with potential customers.
Click-Through-Rate (CTR)
Click-Through-Rate (CTR) is the number of clicks your ad receives divided by the number
of times your ad is shown (impressions).
Conversion
When a user completes an action on your site, such as buying something or requesting more
information.
Conversion Rate (CR)
The number of conversions divided by the number of ad clicks. Note that the conversion
rate should not be greater than 100%. Conversions are only counted on Google and some of
our Google Network partners. The conversion rate is adjusted to reflect only the ad clicks on
which Google can track conversions.
Daily Budget
The amount you're willing to spend on a specific AdWords campaign each day.
AdWords displays your ad as often as possible while staying within your daily budget. When
the budget limit is reached, your ads will typically stop showing for that day

Discover 32 More Killer Google AdWords Secrets today plus 5 BONUS BRIBES
at => www.37AdWordsSecrets.com
Destination URL
When you create your ad, you'll specify a display URL and a destination URL. The
destination URL is the exact URL within your website that you want to send users to from
your ad.
Display URL
This is the URL displayed on your ad to identify your site to users. The green text in the
sample ad below is the display URL. Users clicking on this ad have a clear idea of the website
or landing page to which they'll be taken when they click on that ad.
Keyword
The keywords you choose for a given Ad Group are used to target your ads to potential
customers.
Landing Page
An active web page where customers will 'land' when they click your ad. The web address for
this page is often called a 'destination URL' or 'clickthrough URL.'
Pay-Per-Click (PPC)
The pricing structure used by some online channels to charge an advertiser each time a user
clicks on the advertiser's ad. The amount is usually set by the advertiser, not by the channel.
Also called cost-per-click (CPC).
Prospect
A candidate: someone who is considered for something (in the context of this book, a
potential customer or client)
Quality Score
Quality Score is the basis for measuring the quality and relevance of your ads and
determining your minimum CPC bid for Google and the search network. This score is
determined by your keyword's clickthrough rate (CTR) on Google, and the relevance of your
ad text, keyword, and landing page.
Return on Investment (ROI)
The benefit gained in return for the cost of your ad campaign. Although exact measurement
is nearly impossible, your clickthrough rate and your conversion rate combined with your
advertising costs, can help you assess the ROI of your campaign.
URL - (Uniform Resource Locator)
The address/location of a webpage or file on the Internet.

An Important Note about Google Analytics
An important step in creating superior Google AdWords campaigns is the use of Google
Analytics, now free with your Google account (until late 2006 Google Analytics would have
cost you over $4,000!)
This important subject needs a dedicated book all its own to cover it properly. Google
Analytics is not discussed in this particular book.

Google Analytics for maximum benefit.

Google AdWords Secret #1
Never Let Google
Choose Your Winning Ad
by Roger Hall
To use Google AdWords to best advantage, you should always have at least two Ad
Variations running in any Ad Group. By doing so, you're always optimizing - trying to 'beat'
your current best-performing ad version. And eventually, you'll find new text, or a revised
format that works better.
This is a proven, winning strategy in all direct-marketing.
But there's a problem in the way Google addresses this strategy. By default, their Campaign
Management panel is set-up so that Google chooses your better performing ad for you.
Then Google displays it more often.
Sounds good. But there’s a little problem; the Google automatic system typically chooses
your 'best' ad far too soon.
You need to allow time for each ad to accumulate around 30 clicks (for example, “ad A” has
40 clicks and “ad B” has 30 clicks), before you can be sure a clear and reliable winner has
emerged.
You should always monitor ad performance yourself and choose your own best
ad, rather than have Google do this for you.

at => www.37AdWordsSecrets.com
Make sure it’s you who’s deciding which ad is better… and not Google
Go to; Campaign Summary >[name of your campaign] > Edit Campaign Settings. In
the Advanced Options section of the screen, under, 'Ad serving,' de-select, 'Optimize:
Show better-performing ads more often,' and instead select, 'Rotate: Show ads more
evenly'.
Once the recommended number of clicks has registered, you can see which ad is the better
performer. Amend the loser with a slight change, and start the process again.
Your aim; continuous improvement.
The Ad Variations tab is where you perform your split-testing in Google Adwords
FIVE FREE SAMPLE SECRETS FROM THE NEW BOOK
Discover 32 More Killer Google AdWords Secrets today plus 5 BONUS BRIBES
at => www.37AdWordsSecrets.com
The Ad Variations tab is where you need to look, to decide which ad is performing better,
rather than letting Google decide for you.
I recommend you allow a total of 30-40 clicks (in other words, make sure if you add up the
total number of clicks on the two ads, they each total at least 30-40) before you determine
the winner.
Then, once you have a winning ad, make a minor change to your losing add (perhaps create
a new, slightly different headline. Or perhaps a word in the ad text, or even just a
punctuation change) and try to beat your winning ad again.
Only change one thing at a time, and see how it goes – otherwise, you won’t
know which element of your ad that you changed actually made the difference!
What You Need to UNDERSTAND: Google chooses what they think is your
best-performing ad. But their system chooses the ‘winner’ too darn early. Resulting
in inefficiencies in your campaign. So make sure you monitor and determine your own
winner, with more statistically significant data.
What is Split Testing?
Split testing is an extremely powerful online marketing method that allows you to test two
versions of a web page at the same time. This is why it is also frequently called ‘A/B testing.’
Whenever you are split testing a page, you have two versions:
FIVE FREE SAMPLE SECRETS FROM THE NEW BOOK
Discover 32 More Killer Google AdWords Secrets today plus 5 BONUS BRIBES
at => www.37AdWordsSecrets.com
Version A: is the control group. This is your existing web page
Version B: is the new test
Your goal in split testing is to always try to come up with a new test to beat your control
group. As soon as you have created a new version to test, Google will start to serve the two
versions of your page in real-time and show you which ad is performing better.
The art of split testing
To dramatically boost the performance of your PPC ads with split testing, just keep two
principles in mind.
1) Test everything
2) Never stop testing

Google AdWords Secret #3
Do ‘Sure-Fire’ Headlines Work?
There are many ‘proven’ headline formulas if you’re looking for new headline ideas.
However, what ‘Sure-Fire’ headlines are going to get you the highest CTR, and help you
succeed with your AdWords campaign?
Well, we put four Sure-Fire headlines to the test for SilvaUltraMindSystem.com [a company
which produces personal programming techniques, developed to help people reach their
goals].
The headlines were:
• Mind Power Secrets
• The Art of Mind Power
• The Key to Mind Power
• Free Mind Power Course
The first three are all ‘proven’ headlines that you’ve likely seen elsewhere. No matter what
niche you operate in, you’ll often find people using these time tested headline formulas.
The fourth headline is a proven formula for Google AdWords, because the word “Free” can
often attract lots of clicks.
The results were quite surprising (see image on next page):
FIVE FREE SAMPLE SECRETS FROM THE NEW BOOK
Discover 32 More Killer Google AdWords Secrets today plus 5 BONUS BRIBES
at => www.37AdWordsSecrets.com
The Results
‘Clicks’ are the number of times prospect clicked on the subject ad.
‘Impr.’ is the number of Impressions (the number of times the ad appeared on a prospect’s
screen),
‘CTR’ is Click-Through-Rate (the number of clicks on an ad, divided by the number of times it was
displayed on screen - presented as a percentage)
‘CR’ is Conversion Rate (the rate at which people are converted from viewing an ad to committing
a desirable action on an advertiser's site, such as a sale or registration)
It turns out that “Mind Power Secrets” outperformed all of the other headlines by a
significant margin. In fact, “Mind Power Secrets” did 37% better than “The Key to Mind
Power” and 12% better than “The Art of Mind Power.”
Surprisingly, the headline “Free Mind Power Course” had the lowest CTR. The second
surprise is the headline “The Key to Mind Power” has a very poor conversion rate.

What You Need to UNDERSTAND: Firstly, test different “Sure-Fire” headlines.
Because not every “proven” headline is going to get you the same response. Testing
everything is always the key to success, because you don’t know ahead of time how visitors
will react.

Google AdWords Secret #8
How to Use Imagination in Your
Ad Text to Beat Your Competition
by Roger Hall
Try this; in a Google search page, enter the word, 'Google.' How many results do you get?
Over 2.5 Billion?
Zap back to the mid-90's; two students named Larry Page and Sergey Brin are working
on a new research project at Stanford University, California. Using the leading search
engines of their day; Inktomi and AltaVista, they're entering the word 'Inktomi' into the
Inktomi search engine and 'AltaVista' into the AltaVista search engine.
How many results do you think they got; a Thousand? A Million?
Zero.
Larry and Sergey couldn't believe it. Because Inktomi and AltaVista search engines were
the leaders, but couldn't even find their very own websites in an online search. This
added to the boys' conviction. Now they were sure they'd soon be blasting the
competition with their own new creation; Google.
Google didn't get to be king of search and PPC (Pay-Per-Click) by thinking like everyone
else. They worked 'outside the box' to develop an alternate plan of attack. The results;
obscene profits and domination of the search engine world.
In short, Google used imagination to get where they are today.

To beat competitors in your business category you must use imagination too. Here are
helpful techniques that'll boost your imagination. While your ad is climbing the Results
ladder, you'll be getting far more attention from prospective customers.
Introducing these tips may take a little time and effort (perhaps that's why most
advertisers aren't using them). But there are resources available to help you. What's
more, these methods won't cost you a penny.
Ask yourself;
• Why are people on a search engine looking for your product or service?
• Remember, you’re selling a solution to a problem
• What problems / issues are they trying to solve?
• Your prospect will be asking, ‘What’s in it for me?’ What can you tell them in
your ad that will raise their curiosity?
Here are more tips;
• Make it sound easy
• Use surprise
• See what others are doing
• Use rhythm and rhyme in your ads (see Secret #23) to make it sound like a short
poem. If your ad text has a good ring to it, it will likely attract more attention
• Use, ‘Edgy’ writing in your ads (if Google will allow the words you want to use).
What is edgy writing? According to the book, ‘Spunk and Bite, a writer’s guide to
punchier, by Arthur Plotnik, it’s a more engaging language and style;
1. Prose or poetry that features nervously stimulating action, content or
style.
2. Shake up sentence length and rhythm. Startle by what isn’t said. Keep
trying – if writing ‘edgy’ came easily it would, well, lose its edge, wouldn’t
it?
• Try using very mild swear words in your Web page text (damn, kick-ass, kickbutt,
etc) - but not in your Google ads, as it likely won’t be allowed by the Google
system!
• Can you use the words ‘How To’ in your ad?
FIVE FREE SAMPLE SECRETS FROM THE NEW BOOK
Discover 32 More Killer Google AdWords Secrets today plus 5 BONUS BRIBES
at => www.37AdWordsSecrets.com
• Include the words ‘Here’, ‘Easy’, ‘Free’, ‘Now’ or ‘Instantly’
• Include a question mark (?) in your headline
• Don’t do / buy ______ before you do _________
• The secret to __________ is ____________
• Use the words ‘Free’ and ‘Tips’
It takes a lot of energy to write good copy. It’s exhausting. You’ve got to pour
your heart and soul into it. The amount of energy it takes to write great copy is why most
top writers can’t write more than 4-5 hours a day. Most beginning copywriters are never
told this and burn themselves out.
Copywriting master Gene Schwartz only wrote for 33 minutes and 33 seconds (he
actually used a timer) – then he took a good break.
According to writer Arthur Plotnik it pays to use a good thesaurus (I recommend a paper
one rather than online) to;
• Discover more fitting or forceful words
• Find those good words you can’t quite recall
• Avoid repetition of words
• Escape clichés and worn modifiers
• Help describe the so-called indescribable, and
• Refine your intended meanings (via related concepts)
Online Sources for creative words;
While you need to be careful with these (you don’t want to lose your audience by being
too, ‘sophisticated’) and some are more suited for web pages than Google ads, they can be
helpful to give you some ideas;

publisher of Men’s Health and Women’s Health.

away, take a close look at what they use for headlines in their direct-marketing.
You can bet their material contains well-tested and winning headlines, sub-heads and

Sometimes, it pays to allow your subconscious to work on your writing
challenges, rather than concentrating on them directly.
For example, master copywriter Clayton Makepeace adds up a series of numbers on a
piece of paper. This allows him to engage the conscious part of his brain with the task of
adding the numbers, while his subconscious works on generating creative copy.
I do something similar, but I find it easier than Clayton’s solution. While sitting at my
computer, I simply activate the hard-disk defragmentation (defrag) program. Then, I sit
back and relax while I watch the defrag program graphic screen show bits of data being
moved around, into a more efficient structure.
This helps me relax and allows my subconscious to generate copywriting ideas. I guess in
a way, I’m ‘defragging’ my brain, while I watch the computer screen. Give it a try!
What You Need to UNDERSTAND: There are so many companies and
individuals using Google PPC, you’ve got to think differently to stand out from
the online crowd. Practice departure from everyday words and thought patterns. It’ll give
you an edge few others have. Plus, it’s one of the real advantages you can build for
yourself against the larger, more cumbersome companies in your market.

Google AdWords Secret #11
Use Keywords in your Display URL to
Boost Your Quality Score
by Roger Hall
www
www
Let's say Mr. Smith, a prospective customer, is searching online for apples. Meanwhile, you
own www.Fruit.com . Now if you happen to have the word, 'apples' in your ad's web address,
when it comes to providing Mr. Smith with his search results, Google is going to love you.
Problem is you don't have the word, 'apples' in your existing web address.
Well, there's an easy way to fix this. It's called a subdomain. Subdomains are a great way to
ensure the search keyword, entered by your prospective customer, is actually displayed at the
bottom your Google ad text as part of the display URL (see next page for an example of a
display URL).
Research shows the display URL in a PPC ad can be the second most important
reason (after the headline) for someone clicking on your ad.
So let's create a subdomain using your web host's control panel, so that 'Apples' will be a
subdomain of your existing site. This allows you to display 'Apples.Fruit.com’ as the ad's web
address. Your ad will contain address text matching exactly what Mr Smith is seeking. What's
more, 'apples' will be highlighted in bold text.
Result? A big, free boost for your ad.

Most website hosts such as Network Solutions, Go Daddy and others will allow you to have
70 or more subdomains. So, you can have many tailored ads with different keywords in your
address; 'Pears.Fruit.com’, 'Bananas.Fruit.com’ - you get the idea.
By the way; don't try to fool Google by entering a subdomain that doesn't exist. Within a
matter of hours they'll catch you. And switch your ad off until you've fixed it.
If you prefer, you can also use a subdirectory in your display URL. For example;
‘www.Fruit.com/Apples’ . In this case, you’ll need to have a web page resident in that
directory, or a redirect that points to the appropriate page on your site.
Personally, I prefer using subdomains. Because that way, the search keyword is displayed
first (before the rest of the web address).
The ads below, all for a type of women’s shoe that’s worn around swimming pools, have
been tailored in this manner - to boost each ad’s Quality Score.
This particular type of shoe is commonly searched for by prospects, using three common
search terms;
• Water Shoes
• Pool Shoes
• Aqua Shoes
So I built three different ads (all for the same product). Each ad matches a particular one of
the three search terms. Note that I made sure the keyword in each headline, and the address
text in the ‘display’ URL also matches the keyword;
‘Water Shoes’ search keyword;
‘Pool Shoes’ search keyword;
Note: In this particular ad above, I had to use ‘Pool Shoe’ (with no ‘s’) rather than ‘Pool Shoes’
because Google limits the number of letters allowed in the headline. And I wanted to have the
word ‘Lady’ in the headline to help stop men from clicking!

at => www.37AdWordsSecrets.com
‘Aqua Shoes’ search keyword;
Note: The actual URL where prospects are sent when they click on each ad is the same for
all three ads. In other words, you can have all your ads pointing to the same Web page
(although it’s not going to appear this way to your prospects).
For a free streaming video, with detailed, step-by-step instructions on how to
implement this secret for your own ads and site, go to;
http://betterclix.com/ppctipsonvideowatch.html
What You Need to UNDERSTAND: To succeed with Google PPC you must do
better than your competition. You need to take advantage of every possible
advantage. Put this Secret to work, making the Google AdWords system see your ad as being
even more highly relevant to the search keyword. Using keywords in your ads’ ‘display’ URL
is always a quick, free and easy way to boost performance and save money.

We want to share a surprising finding with you that would make your English teacher flinch.
Sometimes it pays off to ignoring grammar while writing your Google AdWords ads.
In fact, as a rule of thumb we would say it’s always better to write ads that sound the best.
Obviously, what sounds best is subjective. But it is worth testing different iterations, even
iterations that ignore grammar.
Nearly everyone can pick the grammatically correct sentence of the following two;
a) “Here are 7 quick tips”
b) “Here is 7 quick tips”
The correct answer is ‘a’. However, if you test these two iterations in your Google AdWords
ad, you might get very different results.
We certainly did in the following example. In fact, we boosted the CTR of our Google
AdWords ads by 100% and our ROI by 20% by going with, “Here is 7 Quick Tips.”

Perhaps “Here is 7 Quick Tips” just has a better ring to it. Whatever it is, it got us
dramatically better results and we are glad that we now know that ignoring grammar can be
another powerful way to further optimize our Google AdWords campaigns.
Should You Capitalize Small Words Such as; ‘To’? Answer = NO
Check out the following test and see how we boosted the CTR of our Google AdWords ad
by 42% by not capitalizing the word ‘to.’
We are big believers in testing. And strongly believe that no test that is too small.
Most people don’t spend enough time testing different ad copy for their
Google AdWords ads - especially when it comes to the tiny things.
But that’s an advantage to those of us that do test. Because we’ll blow every other Google
AdWords advertiser out of the water - by getting more clicks, converting more leads, all
while spending less on every click!
Check out the following Google AdWords test:
Be careful where you use capital letters
What this test clearly shows is that a tiny change can have a HUGE impact on results. Here
is the good news; making tiny changes takes absolutely no time.
So, when you don’t feel inspired to write some great new copy, just test something small and
you may be amazed at the huge difference it makes.

Pay Attention to the End of Your Ad Copy
We all want to get better results from our Google AdWords ads. Well, here’s one idea that
we strongly recommend testing to further boost your Google AdWords ROI.
For this campaign, we were able to more than double our results! What was the trick? We
tested the smallest variations at the end of our ad copy.
What were the three options? Just take a look at the three add variations we tested below.
The difference in punctuation is so slight…yet the difference in CR is huge
As you can see, the only change in the above ad copy was the end. The three variations we
tested were:
1) Results.
2) Results!
3) Results
While the ad copy differences are minute, the differences in CTR and CR are astonishing!
Finishing with a period (.) caused a HUGE increase in the CTR.
Why? We honestly don’t know. Even more surprising, none of these visitors ended up
converting into leads so the ROI saw a huge drop. The second variation had a far lower
CTR (0.84% vs. 2.40%) but it did show a huge increase in the CR.
