This is one of those tips I should probably to keep to myself, but I want to thank the growing number of subscribers by giving out something really juicy!
I’m sure we all remember alliteration from our high school english days. If you forgot, its the repetition of a leading vowel or consonant sound in a phrase. In other words using the words that start with the same letter. I have done a lot of testing with this, and using this trick almost always leads to a higher CTR. Here’s an example of how easy it is to use.
This is an ad without alliteration. Kind of boring, nothing to grab the eye. Would probably be a low CTR ad.
Now the same ad, with alliteration in the title. People are subconsciouly attracted to alliteration. CTR will go through the roof with this one.
See, your english teacher was right. Paying attention in class will help you succeed in life.
Awesome tip, thanks mate
Hahaha…I didn’t know it was called “alliteration”, I was just tried to make ad titles that rhyme and were catchy…
Yes, the CTR is GREAT!
Terrific Tip Thanks Trooper!
Thanks for the tip, but would you care to share the CTR % increase?
Dave,
From A/B tests I have done, only changing the titles, I have seen 65% increases just using the same letter in all the words.
