Improve your CTR by 100%...

I had a very nice discovery.
I tried to improve my ctr in one of my oldest campaigns, the way I work to do it is copy the current Ad 2 time.
The 1st copied ad I dont touch - this is my "basic" group. The 2nd Ad group I modify and improve. So eventually I have 3 Ads:
1. original
2. basic
3. test

After a while I compare the results between no.2 and no.3. The reason I do that is I think no.1(original) as an unfair advantage over any new Ad due to good history.

Anyway. In this last "improvement" I had a mistake when I copied that Ad(I didnt use the adwords editor), and by mistake I had 2 lines Identical, something like that:
Lose Weight in 4 Days
The Fastest Weight Loss System
The Fastest Weight Loss System
www.mydomain.com

I realised this mistake several hours after I made it, I automatically wanted to delete it, but then I saw a very Good CTR, so I thought I'll wait a bit. and now 3 days later my CTR is 100% more then my original Ad!!!(which by the way I optimized against 17 competitors in the first month I created the campaign)

Now, I dont say that it will improve every Ad CTR, but Im going to try it in all my campaigns as an alternative.

    thanks for sharing this, it's an interesting idea ...

    all i can guess is that the ad is simpler to read, and therefore has more impact, or something along those lines
