(More customer reviews)As a professional photographer (photojournalist for a daily newspaper), having an internet presence was a little easier for me because my employer and our IT department promote my photos some. When I started expanding my freelance business this year however, I was at a loss at how to promote myself other than getting a website. I'm a baby-boomer and overwhelmed at the pay-per-click and all the different ways to generate money on the web, but this book explains it in a way even me, the technically challenged, can understand! I'm a photographer so I'm a visual person, so naturally the best part of this book were the illustrations. You actually get to see the screen shot (what something looks like on your computer monitor) of Google Ads, what the ad will look like on a cell phone and so on. Definitely a plus for me since I get most of my information and understand things visually. The next best part is the bulleted items and the step-by-step approach. You really don't have to be intuitive about this - they take you through it and don't assume you know big chunks of things about the process.
I didn't know how keywords really worked before reading this book. I went to the Google site for help and didn't understand it there, but this book I do get. Google ought to pay you guys for this and post this online instead of what they have!! The tips, tricks and secrets chapter is great! I'm intimidated enough by the internet - but this is like having your own geeky friend (one that actually can communicate in English) walk you through it. I can't emphasize enough how great a help the illustrations are. They really do take the fear factor out of it - I can look at the book, look at my computer monitor and know I'm on the right track. There's stuff in here I didn't know I didn't know, like combating pay-per-click fraud and all kinds of website url's to go to for more information - although this book pretty much covers everything I need to know right now! One of the IT guys at work kept talking about SEO, and now I not only know that means Search Engine Optimization, I know what that means and why it's important! Meta tags, keywords - wow. It's all in here. If I, an aging boomer with no tech background can read and understand this - anyone can. Excellent! MUCH better than the Dummies books on the same or similar topics too. They not only tell you what TO DO, but what NOT TO DO - like replicating meta tags. I thought that would be a good thing to duplicate stuff - obviously not. So, they tell you how to NOT screw up as well as how to succeed! Just like a geek friend would! I love it! This is simple, easy to read and easy to understand. Thanks for holding my hand! I rate it a 5 only because there's not a 10-star scale. This is THE book on Google Advertising.
