The document summarizes the LEGO method for building and testing pay-per-click (PPC) ads. It recommends focusing PPC ads on 6 key elements: the keyword, benefit, offer, brand message, landing page synergy and call to action, and use of "you" or "your". It provides an example of applying these elements to an ad for orb lights. Testing variations that change one element at a time allows scaling up ads by finding and replacing elements. Properly applying these elements leads to better-performing campaigns with higher click-through rates, lower costs, and better conversion rates.

Editor's Notes
- Talk about the synergy between keyword > ad copy > landing page… continuityHow ad copy is an essential step in this process.
- PPC ad copy is often neglected.But if done properly, it can have a dramatically positive impact on your campaign’s conversion rate.
- Find your two or three strongest keywords 1. Orb Lights2. Sphere Lights3. Orb Lamps
- Why is your product or service awesome?ProgrammableWaterproofCordless
- What are you going to offer your customers if they buy from you?Free ShippingReduced Price $21Six Month Warranty
- Is there a brand message being disseminated elsewhere… on TV, display advertising, print?USE IT!Repeat this phrase in your ads and your landing page.(In this case, we’re going to make one up)Magical Moonlight Orbs
- In this case… Discount “Save on Crafts”Site is offering Orb Lights for $21 instead of $29= buy here for less
- The magic word: You
- Only ever change one variable… run versions against each other… make sure the campaign generates at least 100 clicks before you start to eliminate. Eventually you will be able to isolate the “blocks” that drive conversion through a process of elimination in order to build the killer ad.
