Creating killer ad copy with David Szetela from Clix Marketing @  SMX WEST

Ad Design for Contextual Advertising

Biggest problem is the ads appear near unrelated content

Ads don’t distract attn away from

Contextual is not Search

  • Readers aren’t searching for your product/service
  • It’s more like traditional banner or print advertising
  • Site visitor are in the research phase, not buying phase


Ad copy differences
Ads need to stand out
You can yell, use stronger words, imperatives (get, buy, wow!)

Hit people at the gut level

Image ads

  •     Have to be able to distinguish what is a photo of
  •     Have to have branding, call to action


browser, options, brow config, enable support java

ad positions in search

  • for content = 1-4
  • for search 1-3
  • after 5 falling off cliff


Quality score
    Diff from search, more related to CTR
        Good that it’s simple, bad b/c need to bid high then lower bids

Adwords Editor ****

  •     Saves a lot of time
  •     Create a separate group for each ad type


Text ads and image ads will have different rates, so what you bid for will vary

Which queries will come in and how do I write ads to answer those ?s

What are ppl really buying?
    Safety, happiness, comfort
