How come you're seeing certain ads over-and-over again?
Why are they working. and why do some display ads deserve to be
nothing more than bird cage lining.
Since we've been discussing sales copy "voices" lately, I'll let
you in on a little secret about display ad voices. The biggest
problem with display ad "voices" is that, for the most part --

Most display ads read more like checklists that spit out facts,
rather than engaging and conversational "recommendations", which
is how they should read.
I hope you caught what I just said because therein lies the key
to nailing down the right "voice" to use for your display ad.
You want the sales copy voice of your display ads to read like a
non-biased third party came in and reviewed your product, and
then wrote up a quickie description of it.

display ad I wrote for a U.K. client some time ago:
