5.0 out of 5 stars Must-have book for natural and paid search marketers who work on international search campaigns April 5, 2012

By R. Garner

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

This is an excellent book, and a must have for the search marketer or Internet marketer who deals in global search campaigns. It is somewhat surprising to me that something like this hasn't come along until now. Overall, it is a book you will want to keep handy, and in arm's reach for knowing and referring to the nuances of global search engine marketing.

I particularly like the way that each country has a synopsis and report of the details that are very important to your target audiences in these areas, and could make the difference between capturing a customer, or not.

Global search is a core competency of the search agency I work for (we have offices in 12 countries and 4 continents, and work on SEO and PPC with many international enterprises) and this book is helpful in filling in even the smallest details for increasing performance of international campaigns.

I ordered a stack of copies of this book for our teams.

5.0 out of 5 stars All-in-one handbook for international search marketing and then some more... April 18, 2012

By Russell

Format:Paperback

It is strange that it has taken such a long time for a book like this to be written and published; sometimes the most obvious things are overlooked. But nevermind, here it is finally and let me say, it has been worth the wait!

In my opinion though, I think that this book is incorrectly named as it covers a range of areas in addition to global search.

When it comes to judging the book, I have very little to add to what Rob Garner said; however, I would like to emphasise that this book is an excellent read and is a must have for any marketer working in today's environment. For my company and I, we have used the book to inform clients wanting to go global about the dilemmas that we face when marketing to territories outside of our own.

I highly recommend this book! Appreciate all the work and effort that went into it as I understand the complexity of these markets.

5.0 out of 5 stars Handy and useful book for international marketers May 9, 2012

By keitoy

Format:Paperback

The book teaches you the basics and warns you of the most common mistakes in international search engine optimizing and advertising. The most useful content is however the country specific synopsis, where each region is summarized with its local diversities. I picked up quite a few interesting tips in markets I thought I knew well. My only request is to publish a free online version of the book where the authors can update new insights and allow user interactions. The content deserves maintenance.
