Google adwords format is pretty universal.
The ads are 4 line.
- The heading:
This is the top line of your ad. It is
the attention grabber so you must put some thought into wording your
headline. Also, you are only allowed 25 characters so you
must be
succinct
- The main ad. This is over two lines and is the main
pitch of your ad. It is advised that the first line of the main
body should state the benefits of your site ie. what is in it for your
visitor. The second line should be used to prequalify you
prospects. By
prequalifying is meant that you discourage people who will most likely
not perform the desired action , sign up or purchase, once they reach
your site. You can do this by stating the price of the product.
- The last line is the display URL. This is the website
address that you want displayed at the bottom of your ad. This is not
necessarily the webpage that your ad will redirect people to. This is
also under your control, you will have entered this URL when setting up
your ad but is not displayed.
- You must realize
that you have a very limited space
in which to make your pitch so make sure that your ads make a powerful
point.
Advantages of using Google include

Tips on placing Google Adwords
What you are aiming to do is get your google ad to show in position 3
to 6 on the SERP of your chosen keyword without paying a fortune for
it.
Positioning of google ads is
based on Cost per click and Quality
score. If you have a high cost per click, a web site with a
lower bid
could rank higher than you by having a better quality score.
To ensure a good quality score
- Make sure that your
landing page is relevant to
the wording of your ad. So if your ad suggests that your site is
about
Granny |Smith Apples, then your site must have a write up on Granny
Smith apples. If your landing page is not relevant to your ads wording,
google will penalize you. This often means that you either end up
paying really high bid amounts or your ad could be discontinued.
- Use A close knit group of keywords. Choice of
keywords is a large topic and well beyond the scope of this article.
All we can advise is that your keywords be very relevant to your
website and super targeted.
- In the wording of your ad, place your keyword more
than once.
- Always run two similar ads and keep testing. You can
always bump the poorer performing ad and replace it with a different
version. Just keep testing
