Inspired by the idea of ASCII art in Google Adwords I decided to have ago myself in the SERPs. Unfortunately I’m not much of an artist and with just 2 lines to work with your scope for a masterpiece is limited!

Anything that makes your Search results stand out is a good thing but perhaps this is not the way to do it. Any budding artists willing to give it a go could this be the ultimate test of ASCII artists?
Turner Prize for SERP art?

It’s beautiful man. brings tears to my eyes. like monet, or something.
ok, ok, it’s better than anything i’ve ever done.
lol ok so elephants have in fact drawn better, but that wasn’t really the point
I’m sure a talented ascii artist could have some real fun. Sadly I’m not an ascii artist anyone know one?
you’ve found your calling T. ASCII artist. wonder what that screenprint would reach on ebay? maybe if you sell it included in a packet of fish and chips, it might reach quite a price!
ok, so how do you do it though?
It’s done through the meta description tag, and then counting number of characters in the description.
Interestingly initially I had the house at the beginning of the description but for some reason Google ignored the / if at the front of the description.
oh it’s a house? err, ok…
I think thing is a better description
