Creating Compelling Ads and Landing Pages
Getting clicks on your paid listings can be a challenge. You need to compel the consumer to click through, yet your ad must also comply with editorial standards controlling what you can say and even the punctuation you can use.

You also want the RIGHT type of click. Choose your words poorly, and the wrong audience will come, costing you money and offering no hope of conversion. Assuming you do get the right audience, the landing pages you display are an essential component to help you convert browsers into buyers. This session looks at ways to get the right clicks and convert them. NOTE: The session is designed for those who are already familiar with how paid placement works.
