A couple years ago I keynotes Hero Conf and talked about why best practices can fail. This is one of my favorite talks (outside of time management as that’s one of my passions) as it showcases a large variety of industries and ‘exceptions’ to the typical PPC rules.
The issue is that many ‘best practices’ are called that because they work for most accounts; but not necessarily all accounts.
In many cases, we call them ‘common practices’ as they are commonly used; but they aren’t necessarily best for all accounts.
We recorded the session later with Simplilearn in a webinar. While the video is a few months old; the practices and issues that arise haven’t changed at all.
These practices range from why we should be CPA over ROAS for certain types of ecommerce accounts to lowering Quality Score on purpose to increase conversion rates.

Crafting great copy for your ads is one of the most important components of a PPC advertising campaign, as well as one of the trickiest.
Traditional advertising methods can offer paragraphs of text or awesome visuals to help you sell, whereas Google AdWords allows just 2*35 character headlines and a 90 character description. It’s not a lot of space to impress in.
Though creating and testing the perfect PPC ad can take some time, it’s worth the effort, as businesses make an average of $2 in revenue for every $1 they spend on AdWords. Those are some pretty good odds!
The following tips will help you to create persuasive and clickable copy for your next PPC campaign.
While you are here — check out our PPC do’s and don’ts.
Remember who you are writing the advert for. A potential customer for your new product line wants to accomplish something by making purchase, so the first step is to figure out what that is. Let’s say, for example, you’re selling a range of dandruff shampoo and you were considering these two headlines:
The first headline tells the potential customer how they already feel about their predicament, whereas the second one offers to solve their problem, and quickly.
This mirrors their desired outcome in plain and simple language, removing any ambiguity and making it very easy for them to make the crucial decision to click on your ad instead of another seller’s.
This is all about being direct and actionable with your language, not going off-piste with a crazy metaphor.
Over the next couple of months; we have several upcoming appearances designed to keep you informed of what’s new in PPC; some good PPC chats, in-depth information; and strategies to optimize your lead flow.
We start the year looking forward to PPC Summit. This is an all day PPC event taking place on February 28. It’s hosted by Hannipan (the creators of PPC Hero & Hero Conf) and is full of amazing speakers and presentations.

We’re involved in two upcoming webinars and would like to extend an invitation to all of our readers. We hope you can attend and gain some valuable insights.
Best practices are called such for a reason–they usually work. However, in some instances, best practices will lead you astray. That’s especially true in the fast-paced bidding environment of pay-per-click (PPC) online advertising. Join us for a fun and adventurous look at best practices, why they are best practices and the pitfalls associated with them.
This webinar will take place at 2pm ET / 11am PT on Wednesday November 15th.
We all want to be able to see the future, especially when it comes to the world of PPC.
