    Can you guys give me some feedback on these two ads and tear them to shreds for me? I've never written an ad before.

    I would say you have the right idea, but the ads don't read great, having line 2 end in and/or and running the sentence on is clumsy imho. I would look at something more like:

    Buy an OBD Scanner Today
    Readers - Hardware - Software
    Decode and understand the code!
    Bb-Elec.com/Obd-ii-Diagnostics

    (Haven't checked line length as I just banged that out, but you get the idea).

    It is not enough to give feedback on the ad only.
    You have to be sure that the keywords you are bidding on is relevant to the ad and the landing page / merchant.

    As for best Ad practices I offer to go for the A.I.D.A format
    A - Attention (get attention to the ad)
    I - Interest (make the offer interesting)
    D - Desire (Drive Desire for what you give)
    A - Action (Drive / call for action)

    So something like this (for keyword "OBD Scanner"):
    Looking for OBD Scanner?
    A Special offer for OBD Scanner
    Get it here, claim it NOW!
    Bb-Elec.com/Obd-ii-Diagnostics


    Obviously there are "endless" options how to match keyword and ads, focus on relevancy to get high quality score.

    Also, Use Ad Spy tool to have a good sense on your competitors or just as a benchmark option.

    Cheers, PPCBully
