Pay-per-click and cost-per-impression advertising are two great ways to generate traffic to your website. When you use PPC or CPM services, you have to write an advertisement. People who click on the ad are directed to your website, where they can make a purchase. If you want to get lots of people to click on your ad, you need to include a powerful call to action in the copy.
A call to action is just as it sounds. It’s a line in the copy that compels readers to take action. In advertising, the desired action is a purchase. Thus, the call to action should include words that will entice people to make a purchase.
Generic Call to Action
While most advertisers understand the importance of including a call to action, few know how to properly craft one. Instead of coming up with a compelling call to action, they use generic phrases such as “Order today” or “Buy now.” These generic phrases don’t elicit a response from readers.
Instead of using a generic call to action, you need to come up with compelling phrases that will actually make someone feel as if he has to take action immediately. Use phrases like:
- Download the report
- Get your quote
- Get your 20% discount today
Notice that each of these phrases is specific to an actual product or service. Because of that, they are not generic, and thus, will have more power with the readers.
Evaluate your PPC and CPM ads and see if they will benefit from changes to the call to action. If so, make those changes so your click through rate and conversions can go up.

Anthony thank you for all you share. I am working on making my mom’s life easier at her age of 83. She works 6 days a week and she tweets, FB and I just created her a blog site. She also has numerous product sites and I can’t wait to apply what you teach on these sites. Thank you! Kristen
Great training tips! I’ve read your books but still need the boost to get going!
I’m starting my ad with losing belly fat so one of my ads will read “Lose Belly Fat Quicker than cardio”; “Burn fat quick”; “5 foods to assist in burning belly fat” as examples.
My three call to action: 1. Try it now 2. Its a free viewer 3.Click and take a look around.
THE 3 CALL TO ACTION PHRASES I WILL USE WILL BE:
1)Discounted prices on products and services you use every day
2)Get Free shipping with every order for a limited time
3)10% off your order if ordered within the next 48 hours! So hurry!
1) Almost sold out get your order placed! 2) To recieve your discount place your order in the next 30 minutes! 3) Supplies are limited your order must be recieved today!
Hi Anthony: Call to action is the only way to go without it who would even
want to click on your ppc. Another thing is in todays market it’s hard to
get buyers so your action words have to be a great attention getter.
Thanks: Anthony

Thank you Anthony for being the light at the end of a very long tunnel for me. I was laid-off from my job over two years ago and shortly after, I was diagnosed with some dibilitating health issues that make it very difficult for me to find another job, but still unelligable to receive. SSD. I just purchased your program and am studying very hard to become a successful Affiliate Marketer. I love these blog tips that keep me updated. It is alot to take in with so much great information. Thanks again and God Bless.
