3.0 out of 5 stars PPC wasn't the focus...nor was spellcheck, March 1, 2009
By 
G. Z. (Seneca Falls, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Ultimate Guide to Search Engine Marketing: Pay Per Click Advertising Secrets Revealed (Paperback)
This book offers good insight to those unfamiliar with the online marketing landscape but the title is somewhat misleading. Based on the title, and the big fat "Pay Per Click" on the title, I expected it to focus on PPC marketing.

The topic is lightly discussed at the very beginning and then you'll find yourself halfway through the book before PPC starts to get covered. Even then, the techniques are elementary, which is probably perfect for someone starting out. But the "Ultimate Guide"? I think there is some liberty being taken there.

[...], and while it doesn't really affect the message, it just makes it seem haphazardly edited. I can't knock it too much for this but you expect more from a published book.

Anyhow, for the online marketing beginner or PPC novice, it's a fine introduction into that realm. But for those seeking a true Ultimate Guide, this isn't it. It does have a lot of info regarding PPC but almost half the book is devoted to details that are a stretch to be directly related.

It's kind of like buying the Ultimate Guide to Cooking Lobster only to find that the first half of the book is devoted to cooking pasta. A weak example, perhaps, but I'm trying to use an analogy. :)

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book Using The Internet For Marketing!, July 28, 2007
This review is from: The Ultimate Guide to Search Engine Marketing: Pay Per Click Advertising Secrets Revealed (Paperback)
I sell a self-help book, and a book on Florida Landscaping which I wrote through my own website. Since it is self published, I don't have the help of a large publishing firm to promote my book, so I thought Pay Per click marketing might be the solution to expanding my sales base. I just implemented my first campaign, and had my first sale the very same day!! The book was great, packed with lots of good information, tips, suggestions, case studies, and advice from experts. I really liked how well written it was, easy to read and very clear. It was written for a small business that has limited funds and limited technical savvy. The book held my hand throughout the process, and now I have my first campaign. The book has hundreds of tips, suggestions, advice throughout it, in fact, there is so much information, I had to use Post-it flags to mark the information I thought was most important. My book now has Post-it flags all over it!!! I love the font size, and how easy it is to read and navigate the book. I loved Mr. Brown's first book, and this one sits right next to it on my bookcase.

5.0 out of 5 stars SEO, PPC, and all that jazz, September 24, 2007
By 
Sustaina (Shawnee, OK United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Ultimate Guide to Search Engine Marketing: Pay Per Click Advertising Secrets Revealed (Paperback)
I have been looking for this book! Search engine optimization and pay per click advertising were mysterious techniques about which I knew nothing until I read The Ultimate Guide to Search Engine Marketing by Bruce C. Brown. The heart of the book is its detailed information about online marketing using search engine optimization and pay per click advertising. Several chapters are devoted to these strategies with regard to specific search engines, such as Google and Yahoo.

The purpose of search engine optimization (SEO) is to raise the ranking of your website on a particular search engine by the use of relevant keywords or phrases. The author explains how to choose the best keywords or phrases for your site and how to use META tags to raise your website's ranking. He also discusses keyword placement on a webpage. Did you know that some search engines only "crawl" a small portion of the text on a particular webpage?

Pay per click advertising (PPC) will reach millions of customers in a credible, cost-effective way. This type of online marketing plan can target a geographical area or demographic group, and it can be modified easily if it does not seem to be working.

The book also includes a history of online marketing and descriptions of types of online ads. Case studies, hints, tips, and advice round out the content. This is a clearly organized, easy-to-use guidebook for a person who is fairly internet-savvy. I recommend it highly.
