Greg Ives over at Search Engine Lowdown spots a change in the paid search ads on Yahoo! Mindset. The new versions give advertisers another 65 or so characters in the description, which can be significant when you're trying to pare your text down to next to nothing while still prequalifying your traffic.

The change could be an interesting one for Yahoo!, which already gives quite a bit more ad space than Google does in their AdWords program.

Which reminds me, it wouldn't be a bad idea to throw a quick "Writing PPC Ads" primer in here...

Remember these essential points of a PPC ad:

  • Using a call to action
  • Using proper grammar
  • Get across your value proposition
  • Prequalify your traffic
