I heard that adding some unusual characters like "^^^_^^^" with your
adwords may increase the percentage of CTR (click trough rate).

Ads will look like this:
^^^maradonas video^^^
video collection of soccer legend
Try google adsense
www.google.com

As per them this tricks will attract visitors and increases the CTR. Alternatively you can use ***, ^^^, $$$, %%%, >>>_<<< .

What I want to know, is such tricks permissible by Google? Anybody tried over here?

Thanks
Jerry

I might be wrong here Jerry but I don't think this is allowed by Google. Are you referring to Adwords, or Adsense? I know with Adsense you musn't promote the ads on your site, however I believe you are allowed to promote the Google search facility, and I think the Google referrals program also. If you are referring to Adwords then I don't know, as I don't use it.

Adwords can not have tricks in them - it's in the basic rules.

Quote:
* No repeated and unnecessary punctuation or symbols.
* Your title may not contain an exclamation point.
* Your ad text may only contain one exclamation point.


There is an automatic checker that disqualifies ads while-you-wait. So you'll know immediately if your ad passes or not. Repeated characters are easy to catch programatically.

In each campaign that I set up, I write several variations of ads to see which does better. So far I don't see a whole lot of difference from one wording to another.

I'm not that impressed with Adwords anyway - I've been running campaigns for different clients for about 3 years now and I don't see that they get a significant return on their investment with Google. I think it's all marketing hype on Google's part ...
