Key insights
- The word “find” in the ad description ranks high when used with almost any travel-related words in the ad title,
from “airfares” to “[city name]” to “deals”.
- PC users are much more interested in ads that include “official site” than either mobile or tablet users, which is
indicative of the different intent depending on device. PC users have a bigger screen and are more willing to
navigate a large, official site. Mobile users go directly to action, clicking on ads that include “book” and “flights”.](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/soccerworldcup-140906031603-phpapp01/85/Soccer-World-Cup-30-320.jpg)
