1. The strongest headlines pull the most clicks. Use a plain question or something that is really attention getting.

2. Mention your product or service in the headline and for sure in the ad.

3. Place your ads where your target market is.

Niche markets and really refining your target will provide those areas where clicks are cheaper than mass market products and services.
