Way Beyond AdWords!!! September 23, 2009
Format:Paperback
This book should be read not only by people trying to learn about AdWords but also by those interested in narrowing down their market niches. I have spent hundreds of dollars in marketing materials, I hold an MBA degree but I must humbly admit this is the first time I actually understand my market niche down to the color of their socks.

It is amazing what you can do today with Google Tools and their readily available information, but it takes a book like this to learn and understand this powerful source of information and Howie Jacobson does an incredible job at communicating it.

Outstanding reference September 4, 2009
Format:Paperback
Alright, well I actually have bought the book so here it goes:

This book will walk you through EVERYTHING. It'll tell you how to research your market, do the initial setup, and of course manage an entire campaign. Better yet, he gives you tips on what to do once you get someone to look at your site to increase the chance of them following through with your offer. I cannot recommend this book highly enough if you want to get serious about running Adwords campaigns.

And the icing on the cake? There's a certificate included for $25 in Adwords credits to get you started - more than what you'll pay for the book here on Amazon. How can you go wrong?

After you have conversion tracking set up, you will change ad rotation to Optimize for Conversions. (Find more on conversion tracking in Chapter 6.) Rarely would you ever optimize for clicks, which is Googles default  and good for Google but seldom good for you. &quote;
