But, as we know, those 4 lines of text can be responsible for our entire profits online.

This is a must. You must learn how to do split testing. You would not believe the amount of marketers that know all about it, but never act on it. For those of you that don’t know, let me give you a quick over view.

Split testing is basically a way for you to test multiple variations of the same ad. Google Adwords has a special feature that allows you to run a split test for your ads at no extra charge. Once activate, Adwords will run your ads in alternating patterns. E.G - Ad A then ad B then ad A then ad B, A then B then A then B. You get the picture. What this does it allows you to test different elements of you ad at the same time, So you could be running two ads exactly the same but with different headlines. You then see which headline is getting the highest CTR. Simple as that, this technique allows you to test two ads against each other, the delete the under performing ad, and replace it with a new ad. This new ad is then in competition with the last winning ad (The control). If the new ad wins, then this ad now becomes the control, and the previous control is then deleted. You keep on performing this pattern until you can increase the CTR any more.

Setting up split testing:
Like I said, this is a free adwords feature, and it’s easy and fast to get started.
