Perry Marshall - Ultimate Guide to Google AdWords: How to Access 100 Million People in 10 Minutes

Ive used the Ultimate Guide to Google AdWords since the first edition. Transforming a clients unprofitable AdWords account into a cash cowchurning out $30 to $35k profits every month. Just scratching the surface of the books contents.

This is the best book on AdWords, period. Plus, its a dang good book on internet marketing. Not only can you use it to tap Googles huge traffic stream, youll also convert the thundering hordes of traffic into buyers and profits in your pocket. Do what I dodont just buy and use it yourself, buy copies for your friends!

ROY FURR, EDITOR, BREAKTHROUGH MARKETING SECRETS, DIRECT MARKETING CONSULTANT

Im often asked by peers in my niche how I manage to rank so well in search engines and not go broke using Google AdWords. There are a couple of reasonsIve been subscribing to Perry Marshalls newsletters since 2003; Ive read every one of his books; I listen in on all the conference calls he organizes; and finally, I IMPLEMENT his strategies and tactics.

The Ultimate Guide to Google AdWords lists for $24.95. Only a fool would continue to run Google AdWords campaigns and NOT invest in, study, and implement the ideas in it. And no, youll not find an affiliate link to Amazon here. Just get the book!

I bought this book to learn how to get better results from AdWords for my clients. The advice given is easy to follow, and following up on the results of your campaign is exciting. Ive already seen a huge increase in clickthrough rates for the different customers and campaigns I run. I get far better results for less money.

I would recommend reading Ultimate Guide to Google AdWords to anyone interested in starting AdWords marketing, or tuning their current campaigns for better results. On the other hand, Id like to keep whats in here a secret.

HENRIK HEDBERG, ADWORDS USER

Naming this the Ultimate Guide is not a fluke. I have been tweaking the hell out of the ads Im using to lead searchers into my funnel. Over the past few weeks, Ive managed to get one of my ads up to just over 7% CTR from a previous 1 to 2%!

BILL PERRY, ADWORDS USER

I thought I knew it all. I set up an AdWords account and a couple of days later I came back to check if I was rich yet. Unfortunately, the only thing that happened was Google enjoyed free access to my bank account. Luckily the traffic was not that high so it was just a couple hundred dollars. And I made no money.

Frustrated, I went online and did some research. Every forum, article, and blog seemed to be talking about Perry Marshall, so I decided to get Ultimate Guide to Google AdWords. 30 minutes into reading my mind was blown away.

Next, my Quality Score went up from an average of two and three to a six and nine for various keywords. At the same time, my cost-per-click went down from over $4 to about $0.50.

The rest is history. Seriously, if you dont know the stuff in this book dont even think of AdWords. This is THE guide.

I f youre brand new to Google AdWords and youre just getting started, you MUST read this short section first.

And:

If youve got years of AdWords experience under your belt or you already own an earlier edition of the Ultimate Guide, at the end of this introduction Ill give you shortcuts and page numbers for the advanced new material in the book.

The first thing you need to do is get your online bonus material at www.perrymarshall.com/supplement. There youll also find a collection of supplemental material that I consider vital to this book and youll get in line for a series of updates youll need as Googles system changes.

OK, now that youve done that, let me tell you how to go about learning AdWords. Please listen carefully, pay attention.

IF YOURE A RANK BEGINNER...

Theres an old saying You cant learn to ride a bicycle at a seminar, and it definitely applies to AdWords. AdWords and really everything you ever do in direct marketing is hands-on. Its not theory. Its real world. Its the school of hard knocks.

About the school-of-hard-knocks part: When AdWords was brand new, there were lots of inexpensive clicks and you could find your way by making lots of cheap mistakes.

Those days are over. Today that strategy will get you slaughtered.

When you open a Google AdWords account, go ahead and enter your keywords, write some ads, and set some bid prices. Its OK if you dont really know what youre doing; youll learn. The first few chapters of this book will show you exactly how to do it. But heres the most important thing of all:

Set a low daily budget, say $5 or $10 per day, to make absolutely sure that your first experience with AdWords is a GOOD one, not a painful one. Because:

The worst thing you can do in your new career as a Google advertiser is accidentally run up $2,500 of clicks that you have no idea how youre going to pay for. Most advertisers have to go through some trial-and-error before things really come together. There are many assumptions Google will make about how to set up your account that are wrong, and if you blindly follow its menus, youll make some costly mistakes.

The best thing you can do is enjoy the process of watching those clicks come in and seeing your handiwork produce results.

Then, if youre hands-on from the word go, everything you read in this book will make ten times more sense.

So yes, go ahead and get started. Create your AdWords account, roll up your sleeves, and jump in. As you go from one chapter to the next, make changes to your account. Youll literally be able to see the performance difference in a few hours.

Before youve even spent $10 on Google clicks, please make sure youre using this book as your guide. If you dont, youll make a slew of common mistakes and blow a lot of cash that you could have used to grow your business.

Also, make sure you access the special reports and see the audios and videos in the Book Bonus members area. Theyre at www.perrymarshall.com/supplement.
