It’s interesting how many times I hear that text ads don’t work, I never get results from text ads and let me tell you they do work with some tweaking. Here are some things in making your text ads work from lessons I have learned

161777811584436570_IxPBd3u7_bOver the years, I have watched text ads and headliners to solo ads and I can tell you there is a trick to all this that I discovered. One when you are viewing ads – that text ad is competing with other things on that page and it has to jump out at you and say click me.

Now if you are viewing ads and you just see another sites name that really don’t excite me as I already know what I’m going to see when I click. So kinda boring don’t you think????

Now what if you put some pazazz, excitement, curiosity in that text ad – you need to give the person viewing ads a reason to click that text ad. Here is a few examples …..

Cheaper than a gallon of gas
You will be tempted….
Adult Coloring Books!!!
You Afraid of ALIENS ?
There Is Life After PAYPAL
Close your eyes and make a wish
Not Surfing Here? Big Mistake!

These are just a few that I picked out to show you – the first one is surely a way to catch someone’s eye without putting in a price. 2nd one – tempted on what – click and see – so simple huh? Adult Coloring Books – well that made me click and they are really Adult Coloring Book – awesome books – great Christmas gift. You Afraid of Aliens? well I had to click that one just to see who was being clever lol.

And with all the downers going on about Paypal – the next one was hope and let you know that this might have been a stumbling block but life does go on – very good one. Close your eyes and make a wish – again clicked that one just to see what I could wish for. AND if you have a site that is working for you – thought the last one was very clever with the reverse psychology.

Making your text ads from lessons I have learned is not that hard – just put a little thought into it the next time you are just going to add a site name – you will be surprised

Oh one more thing – since you don’t see your own text ads when viewing ads – here is another things I learned the hard way – my whole ad was not being displayed. The normal amount of characters are 30 including spaces. Here are a few examples of what I have seen

So make sure that the site you are adding your text ad you know how many characters you are allowed so that others are seeing what you meant to say. Just so you know Zaney Clicks lets you add 40 characters plus spaces.

I really am going to shut up – one more tip. If you are not creative then do like I do – get inspiration from reading emails for credits and then pay attention to the ones that caught your eye and make a swipe file (secret) a swipe file is a text file that I have in notepad that I swipe from someone else and put my twist on it. There are many, many places to add to your swipe file – magazines, newspaper ads, billboard ads, other text ads, facebook ads and even twitter.
