SHIRTS FROM FRANCE

Johanna creates the same five groups of 10 terms each and tests a
number of ads, including these:

Notice that these ads can be used to test not just headlines but
guarantees, product names, and domain names. It’s as simple as
creating several ads, rotated automatically by Google, that are
identical except for the one variable to be tested. How do you think I
determined the best title for this book?
Both Sherwood and Johanna disable the feature on Google that
serves only the best-performing ad. This is necessary to later compare
the click-through rates from each and combine the best elements
(headline, domain name, and body text) into a final ad.
Last but not least, ensure that the ads don’t trick prospects into
visiting the site. The product offer should be clear. Our goal is
qualified traffic, so we do not want to offer something “free” or
otherwise attract window shoppers or the curious who are unlikely to
buy.
Cost to both: $50 or less per day x 5 days = $250.45
Investing or Divesting
Five days later, it’s time to tally the results.
What can we consider a “good” click-through and conversion rate?
This is where the math can be deceiving. If we’re selling a $10,000
abominable snowman suit with an 80% profit margin, we obviously
need a much lower conversion rate than someone who is selling a $50
