I thought advertising on Google was easy until I read this! This book is packed with so much information, tips and useful resources that I tweaked one of my online businesses using some of these strategies (results below):
- Peel and Stick: creating a new campaign for different sets of keywords appealing to different sets of searchers.
- Using Negative keywords and exact matches, to improve your relevance, click through rate, your average position and reduce your cost per click.
- Split-testing, making sure you are always testing out which ad is better for your campaign by battling two against each other and testing their performance.
- Writing an effective ad- by promoting benefits first and features second.
They appear straightforward, but only once you know them! Since implementing his strategies, I've managed to get click through rates of over 10% (unheard of in this industry!) and an average position of 1-3 for some popular search terms.
And its helped improve my conversions over 25x and triple my sales.
