| Actually PPC ads are designed to focus on doing only one thing, and that is driving as much targeted traffic as possible to a site so as to yield the highest possible level of sales. To do this, the headline needs to not only flag the targeted, required audience, but it also needs to be so attractive that most of those who are targeted who end up being exposed to it will have little option but to click through to the site.
This calls for very skilled copy writing and perpetual testing designed to improve the click through rate and the resultant sales from the PPC ad.
Clearly the most important part of the PPC ad is the headline. The copywriter will have very few words at their disposal to flag the targeted market and to also give them a good idea of what the site is all about. Sensational headlines for the sake of it do not work with PPC ads because even if one achieves high traffic, very few hits will be turned into sales thus resulting in a loss for the advertiser because the ad is being paid for based on the click through rate.
