The Best Damn Google Adwords Book B&W Edition: Maximize Your Results To Maximize Your Advertising Dollars Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This book is 100% useless. There is zero insight. All this is is various information gathered from the google pages and putting it in the worst format possible. Every page is watermarked with an annoying "Top Secret" in large red letters, the table of contects has no associated page numbers, etc. I will only feel a little guilty of this review if I find that the author is a fourth grader who did this book as a class project.

The Best Damn Google Adwords Book Color Edition: Maximize Your Results To Maximize Your Advertising Dollars Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This book has a few good hints in it, but they are completely buried under the poor writing and terrible grammar in this book. I realize that many books these days are self published with no editor, but don't people even use the spell check and grammar features in their word processor? It's so distracting. Heck, even the back cover reads like a 5 year old wrote it.
And, even if you can ignore the poor writing, the red 'Top Secret' watermark on EVERY page, makes reading this sad book annoying to say the least. And, the table of contents doesn't even show page numbers. No joke!
This book is so overpriced for what you get. Don't bother.

Winning Results with Google AdWords, Second Edition Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The title implies that the book will be a how-to manual getting great results with Google AdWords. Not exactly. It does however provide great nuggets of information and helpful tips as well as great insight into how Google evaluates your AdWords campaigns - especially relative to Quality Score. It is up to date as well, as the strategies presented here are new - and many of them are being echoed elsewhere - such as starting campaigns with relatively few keywords and then expanding to the long tail once your quality scores are high. This is in stark contrast to the old way of doing things which involved going after the long tail right out of the starting gate with hundreds of keywords. Your quality score is likely to suffer these days with this old approach.
The book is however way too wordy and provides a lot of extraneous information for the online marketer who is looking to improve their campaigns. If you're already familiar with the industry and search in general, I would recommend skimming the first two chapters - especially chapter 2 - to find nuggets that would be helpful for what you are trying to do. For example, it is good to know just how often a user clicks on a sponsored ad as opposed to a paid listing - on page 22 (Chapter 1) Goodman mentions that Google staff have stated informally that this number can be 15% of the time or higher. Chapter 2 goes into history, which I found to be not so helpful. Chapter 12 was a look to the future which I also didn't get a whole lot out of. The middle chapters of the book were very good, although still too long.
Strengths:
* A lot of great tips
* Insight into how AdWords evaluates you and your campaign (direct quotes from Google spokespeople and inferred info from Google as well)
Weaknesses:
* Too Long and too Wordy - could do a better job at getting to the point. It takes a while to get through this book.
Overall:
I consider myself an Advanced AdWords advertiser - I found the book very helpful and would recommend it for intermediate AdWords users and above. I did learn techniques and approaches that I'll be able to apply to my online marketing. My only wish was that these nuggets of good information could have been accessed in a less lengthy book. Beginning AdWords users will likely find AdWords for Dummies more helpful.

Your Google Game Plan for Success: Increasing Your Web Presence with Google AdWords, Analytics and Website Optimizer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Google AdWords can be a powerful addition to your marketing strategy, but a confusing one. Teixeira's book is a good introduction to AdWords, but overwhelms with details and underwhelms with strategy. He does, however, a good job leading us step-by-step through AdWords as a software platform.
The book does not have enough information or guidance on keyword strategy, how your ads should interface with what you as a company sell or do. Nor is it connected to your SEO strategy, yet these things should work together.
On a technical level, I was disturbed by the discussion on 'broad match.' 'Broad match' is often misunderstood by most of my clients; putting in 'dog boarding' may yield results not just for the words 'dog' and 'boarding' but also 'puppy' 'animal' and even cat. Few seems to get this, and Teixeria doesn't tell you this hugely important point, nor how to find out the true keyword matches once you are running. I have had many clients waste thousands of dollars on broad match!
Strategically, the most important issue I teach students in my classes on SEO and Social Media (Google Jason McDonald to find me), is that AdWords should be part and parcel of your SEO strategy - get what you can get for free, first, and build AdWords on top of it. This book doesn't embed AdWords into a strategic perspective; for that you are on your own.
So in sum, it's a good book on AdWords, but not a great book, and it won't make my shelf of recommendations for my students in AdWords and SEO, either online and in San Francisco.
