Adwords Competitors Quality Score For Better Adverts
I recently found a very interesting trick for making it easy to quickly write well performing adverts.
The trick is very simple but also very effective, all you have to do is go on Google and search for a keyword. I also recommend to search in the location where the competition is going to be the highest, which is usually USA. In order to do that you just have to add “&gl=us” to the URL of your search. I’ll explain more about that in a future post on this blog.
Keep clicking the search button, you will see that the results change over time, and you actually get less results. Keep clicking, it may take up to 50-100 clicks before the ads starts changing, and you’ll see that you get less and less results.
Those few results that remain seems to be the ones Google likes the most. Of course you cannot know if it’s all because of the advert (and certainly it’s not) since the bid amount and the landing page will also have a strong impact, however you can assume that people that did bid high and made the effort to make a good landing page probably also took the effort to write a good advert.
This trick will work better if the keyword is competitive, if you just get a few results when you search for the first time it’s not going to be that effective, however if you have several pages of results, it’s going to be very effective in helping you to write a good advert, since you can just get good adverts ideas from those few sites that Google likes.
Wow. Another gem to help in one’s Internet Marketing strategy. Thanks for the great post!
This method involves too many assumptions to be considered accurate. It does not take into account AdWords frequency capping or Google’s click spam detection which will be triggered if you run the same query 50-100 times. Do you have any proof that this worked? Case studies? Statistics to back up your claims?
