BIONIC GOOGLE ADS:The “Swiss Army Knife” Method
for Creating Ultra-Emotional, High-CTR Ads
“Most people think they’ve tested 20 Google ads
but they really just tested 2 ads 10 different times.”
–Dr. Glenn Livingston

Most people find one decent formula that “works” and just refine it. But you can do much, much better. Today I’m going to show you 2 of 10 powerful ways to rocket your CTR with EMOTIONAL POWER.
EXAMPLE: 6 Different Versions of 1 Ad
That’s what happened with this example below. 6 different versions of a “How to Write a Book” ad. But same formula for each one.
You test adjectives, verbs, URL’s, commas (ad #1 is the “little comma that could,” which got an 8% CTR boost) and that’s great.
But 99% of people miss dozens of completely different, superb HOOKS they could use. You can approach your customers from a completely different, surprising direction.
And as your campaigns develop, you become more and more afraid to boldly experiment because you don’t want to hurt your overall CTR and drop in the rankings. So you stay stuck.
This is a very successful ad campaign but it’s stuck in a rut:

For several months I’ve been developing a reliable formula that breaks you out of that rut and consistently gets high CTR’s. Here’s an example of 4 ads that used the Swiss Army Knife Formula. Each ad is completely different from the others (#2 had been my control for 2 months) and each commands a very high CTR:
The 2nd ad was my control. The other ads are hot off the press, all completely different, all with double-digit CTR’s. PROBLEM: “There’s only a few things I can think of to say and it’s really hard to not sound like everyone else in my market.”
SOLUTION: There are literally THOUSANDS of things you can say, even in a tiny Google ad, which means there’s NO SUCH THING as a market you can’t break into, or do better in. Even if you’ve been stuck with the same Control Ad for 3 years.

Relationships | Knife Blade #1
All the different relationships that exist between your customers and 5 other types of people and things:
Your
Customer
You (the advertiser)
Your Customer’s Best Friend
Your Customer’s
Worst Enemy
A thing that Your
Customer Loves
A thing that Your
Customer Hates
8
This picture shows 15 different relationships: Your customer and the thing she loves; your customer and the thing she hates; your customer and you… the thing your customer loves and its relationship to her worst enemy, and so on.
Most ads are about something the vendor sells or some really obvious problem related to the key-word. If we’re writing an ad for the keyword “bad marriage,” the ads you see on the right are VERY predictable. Pretty typical of most markets.
The Swiss Army Knife gives us all kinds of NEW ad hooks:
The #1 thing the prospect hates may be constant fighting:
Bad Marriage=Constant FightsDon’t Go To Bed Angry14 Minute Video will Calm Your Mindwww.AngryMarriage.com
Your best friend (at one time anyway) was your husband, and the #1 enemy is his lover:
Who is your husband with?Is he sleeping with “her” right now?Get revenge & a smile on your facewww.BadMarriageRevenge.com
9
How about an ad that’s about the wife’s worst enemy (the other woman), and the thing your customer hates the most (constant fighting):
Nasty Fight: The Other WomanSick of being compared with “her”?Change the Game. Free Reportwww.BadMarriageReport.com
How about an ad that’s about the wife’s worst enemy and her best friend (in this case her children):
The Other Woman: Step MomHow will you feel whenYour children call her “mommy”?www.BadMarriageReport.com/prevention
See how much emotion you elicit when you focus on the relationships between key play-ers in your customer’s drama? This is P-O-W-E-R-F-U-L.
