Learn the Success Secrets of Search Advertising

Millions compete for exposure on Google, Yahoo!, and MSN Live Search, but 97% of them fail to get results. Become one of the elite 3% who succeed. How? Search advertising specialist Richard Stokes reveals that and more!

Covering all major search engines, this powerful guide discloses:

  • The “$100 Bidding Myth”: why outbidding competitors rarely results in more traffic
  • Simple website changes that can increase sales by 500%
  • How to drive 80% or more of online revenues with rare superconverter keywords
  • Winning strategies of the world’s top search marketers
  • The best ads on the internet and how to write them
  • The real factors for driving high click-through rates
  • How to find competitors’ budgets, ad copy, and best keywords
  • How to manage bids without expensive bid-management software
  • And more!

“Having Rich Stokes work on your Search Marketing is like getting Michael Jordan to play on your pick-up B-ball team. It doesn’t matter who you play – you’re going to win.”
Rick Carlson, CEO, Surf Secret

"Richard Stokes knows things about Google that hardly anybody else in the world knows. Far more than most Google employees. Why? Because he operates a market research company that constantly analyzes the search results of millions of keywords. I consult with hundreds of business owners who manage large Google accounts, but every time we get together, I learn something new from him.”
Perry Marshall, author and world's most-quoted consultant on Google advertising

“Rich’s unique perspective and deep analytical skill make The Ultimate Guide to Pay-Per-Click Advertising one of the must-read books of the year for every search marketer.”
David Szetela, CEO, Clix Marketing

Wow! Finally got my hands on THE book for search engine marketing. Stoke's first book was literally my bible to search engine marketing years ago. But this one is at a whole different level! Frankly, for SEM newbies, intermediates, or advanced players, this book is great at all levels. What I love about the book is that it doesn't just talk or teach you about search marketing, it actually has a Point Of View...an approach to search marketing that you can easily incorporate into your management style. He has all of the numbers and data to back it up along with some best practices I haven't read anywhere else.

I highly recommend this book to anyone in the search marketing industry. YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED.

I really mean that. The Google Adwords books by Perry Marshall (Ultimate Guide to Google Ad Words, 2nd Edition: How To Access 100 Million People in 10 Minutes) and Howie Jacobson (Google AdWords For Dummies) are excellent introductions to the topic. Richard's new book takes that material much further, using in-depth analysis based on data-driven studies he's done. The chapter on Ad Coverage by itself more than justifies getting this book.

not as expected March 8, 2011
By djb
Format:Paperback
after reading this book i had high expectations. fairly disappointed. the content is good however you need some scripting experience to understand the concepts the books talks about. the author gives details and steps assuming you are a scripting or computer programming expert. also the steps in the book are wrong this may be because google has updated their site but trying to do step by step instructions will get you nowhere.

Most of the book is a shameless promotion of author's own web site. The other part of the book is, what seems to be, a promotion for Google. Read more
