    We'll test for four things: budget, split-testing, landing pages & general writing skills.

    Are your competitors making AdWords work for them?

    To do this, pick one competitor at a time and jot down a note of their Ad. Now, press the F5 key or click the 'search' button to refresh the page and, in effect, search again on the same term.

    Is your competitor's Ad still showing? Press the F5 key a couple more times (don't go crazy as this may unfairly affect their rating in the Google system – this is ethical competitor research remember!). Does their Ad come & go? Make a rough guess as to how often it shows: 50% of the time, 20%, 95%?

    This is a reflection of the budget that they've told Google they're willing to spend each day. If their Ad shows less than about 80% of the time, they're probably still learning to use the system effectively. That's a great opportunity for you to beat them to the punch.

    Do your competitors know how to test?

    One of the single biggest benefits of using AdWords is the ability to test two variations of the same Ad & have Google tell you which is best. It's called split-testing & we'll examine this in more detail in part 3 of this series.

    When you press that F5 key, does your competitor's Ad change? Maybe it's the blue headline, or the two lines of smaller black text, known as the description lines or body of the Ad. If anything in their Ad changes, they know how to split-test & are showing you that they have some skill in using AdWords – one to watch!
