Selfish vs Selfless Quiz #103

“Those are very selfish calls to action.”

That’s what Chris said 17 quizzes ago, criticizing Marco about positioning his clients’ ads in the light of what the organization would gain, instead of what the user would.

Yes he did, let’s remember…

So, we put his money where his mouth is and put those headlines to the test:

Old Headlines New Headlines
1 Contribute & Save A Life Save A Life & Save Your Life
2 Join Our Mission Put A Smile On Your Face
3 Join The Registry You Get More When You Give
4 Make A Donation Good Karma Always Comes Back
5 Get Involved It’s One Way To Happiness

Those headlines have been highlighted in Version A above.

Remember, the goal was to increase Conversion Rate (CVR) with a responsive search ad. The initial ad has a CVR of 3.8%.

Did it work?

Chris is full of Crap.


Is Chris full of crap?

“Cheap Towing” vs “Towing on the Cheap” Ad Quiz #100

We’re in our third week as a truck towing company. What have we learned so far? 🧐

In today’s quiz, we have a variation on the way we present an affordable price. What is the lesson of this quiz?

There’s only one way to find out. Let’s toughen up 💪, get the quiz right and end the year with a bang!


Tricky… trick.

Imperative Sentence vs Non-Imperative Copy Quiz #95

An imperative sentence tells the reader to do something. In our case, to “Explore Geology Courses”.

They are similar to a call-to-action, and the terms can sometimes be interchangeably used.

Imperative sentences are wider in their definition as they can instruct the user to imagine or do just about anything. A call-to-action usually instructs the user to take an action on the landing page they will land on.


Analyze carefully, this one’s tricky.

Does the imperative win?

Which ad do you think lifted the Click-Through-Rate (CTR) by 53%, from 4.8% to 7.4%?

The correct answer is revealed after you vote.
