For anyone wanting to give Google AdWords a try this book is a must. Not only is AdWords complicated but it can be a great tool in the right hands.

I am unable to share my review due to my commission to review for a website with an NDA. I ghostwrite reviews for a popular site.

This book was excellent. I am a total newbie when it comes to the world of online marketing and as a blogger it is a pretty important area to understand.

This book explains it in detail, giving you the answer to every question and the key principles in which to use Adwords successfully. Providing examples of work to show the reader a real ad. Also showing good and bad examples so you can understand the difference a few words can make - powerful stuff. 

It's rather large and there is a lot of detail to get through but I devoured it, finding it easy to read and understand. I would highly recommend to someone who uses Adwords or is thinking of doing so.

When it comes to getting started and succeeding with AdWords, this book has everything you need to build a great campaign.

Laid out in an order that helps people get started fast, optimize along the way, and expand as needed, the Ultimate Guide to Google AdWords provides the tools a PPC novice needs to get on their feet and get going.

Highly recommended for anyone looking to get started with AdWords or better understand their current campaigns and improve them.

My new go to guide for AdWords. Perfect for beginners and those wanting to refresh their memory.

An insightful tool for anyone looking to maximize their Adword skills. Clear and concise. I thought it was well put together!

I have been using the first edition of this book for a while and this edition is even better, deeper, more and updated. In other words, it is the go-to, must-read guide to this otherwise fairly complicated issue where wrong or imprecise targeting can end up costing you lots of money and even worse, target the wrong potential clients.

I chose this book because, while I currently am not doing any advertising on the Internet, I would like to start. I am sure I am not alone, so all of you folks out there like me who would like to have their own business but don’t have a clue how to advertise it and certainly have no desire to lose our shirts.

The book is written as close to layman’s terms as you can get. Yes, there are new terms you may have to learn to play the game, but that’s par the course with anything you do. No worries here, though, as author Perry Marshall takes the time to explain all the necessary info and acronyms. What I began to realize after a while is that Google is not some nameless, faceless entity that just wants to eat my money. Mr. Marshall makes it plain that it is my choices as well as desire to learn that will help me to achieve my business goals. He also cautions that this is not a guaranteed-to-make-you-rich scheme and advises “if you’re not serious, don’t even start.”

The book, while focusing on Adwords, also addresses good business practices that new entrepreneurs might overlook, such as tuning up your ad text (what has been proven to works and what bombs) and seeking out niche markets. Other words of wisdom can be found throughout, such as “The offer your ad describes is more important that the words you use to describe it. What does your customer get by clicking on your ad? And how fast does he get it?”

Although the initial chapters are geared for folks like me who are new to the adwords arena, seasoned veterans will also find chapters that are aimed at their needs. There is a handy Quick-Reference Adwords Glossary at the back for new readers as well as those who might need their memories jogged, as well as an Index in the back to aid with quickly finding whatever section you might need to flip to.

As a newcomer, after reading the book, I still feel a bit more overwhelmed; however, if you are going into battle, you should take the right gear. If you plan on using Google Adwords to propel your business, this book is the right gear. Five stars.

The book gives you exactly what the title says. The only problem is the excessive verbiage makes you wish there was more editorial discretion. I think the book could have been trimmed by a third. The information is good though, relevant and smack up to date.
