Prod­uct Review for: The Defin­i­tive Guide to Google AdWords

We just launched our pri­vate Inter­net Mar­ket­ing forum and one of the top ques­tions that we see is how to get started with Inter­net Mar­ket­ing and in par­tic­u­lar with Google AdWords. So, I wanted to write a review on The Defin­i­tive Guide to Google AdWords by Perry Marshall

One of the top ques­tions that comes up all the time is:

What is the quick­est way to start get­ting traf­fic to my site?

The answer is Google AdWords.

How do I get up to speed on Google AdWords:

The answer is: Read “The Defin­i­tive Guide to Google AdWords” by Perry Marshall.

For new­bies, this 113 page book on Google AdWords is an excel­lent intro­duc­tion to learn the basics. Perry Mar­shall goes into a lot of details to explain how to use Google AdWords and has a very good step-by-step guide on how to get your first Cam­paign and Ad Group launched successfully.

In fact, The Defin­i­tive Guide to Google AdWords is so good that Perry Mar­shall has estab­lished him­self as the domain expert in the field and there is a rea­son he is now tour­ing the globe and why his Inter­net Mar­ket­ing Sem­i­nars keep sell­ing out.

So, if you are just get­ting started with Google AdWords, then The Defin­i­tive Guide to Google AdWords is for you. You can get it here:

The Defin­i­tive Guide to Google AdWords

So, while we rec­om­mend “The Defin­i­tive Guide to Google AdWords” for begin­ners, we also want to warn you that it is only the beginning.

Google AdWords has become far more com­pet­i­tive over the years so just learn­ing how to use it is no longer going to cut it.

What is required is to have a world-class sys­tem and process in place to avoid get­ting burnt by Google AdWords.

We hear from so many of you all the time that you are los­ing money with Google AdWords and what you can do about it. The choice is obvious:

Either become an expert or let the experts do it for you.

It does not mat­ter what mar­ket you are in, you are now com­pet­ing against hun­dreds of com­peti­tors so if you are not will­ing to invest the time to become an expert then stay away or hire experts to do it for you. Google has lev­eled the play­ing field so any­one can com­pete but it also means that it is very com­pet­i­tive field.

So, use “The Def­i­nite Guide to Google AdWords” to start your learn­ing process but if you want to avoid get­ting burnt, then you have to take your skills right to the next level because that is the level that your com­peti­tors are most likely already at.

We charge $5,000 for our AdWords con­sul­ta­tion and opti­miza­tion ser­vice but to help more of you, we have doc­u­mented our process so that any­one can learn to dupli­cate it. If you want to invest the time to learn how be the best and get win­ning results with Google AdWords, you can now do so.

First, read The Defin­i­tive Guide to Google AdWords to learn the basics and then pro­ceed to learn the win­ning Google AdWords sys­tem at “Google AdWords Exposed.” There we offer a sys­tem and a process that is iden­ti­cal to the one that we fol­low to help one client after another become successful.

    When­ever I see a post from you guys in my reader I pay a lit­tle bit more atten­tion. I have always found your pub­lished tests and results to be hugely insight­ful and informative.

    It’s a pity you have that hor­ri­ble long-page site that I think makes you look like get-rich-quick-schemers. It really doesn’t do you credit IMO (the last urgent call is daft).

    Of course this is all sim­ply one opin­ion, and I’m sure you will find tak­ers for the ‘huge’ bun­dle you’ve put together.

    Sorry for being crit­i­cal (might be a cul­tural thing with long page), as I said I love the blog and hope you get back to post­ing the great and valu­able exper­i­ments you’re conducting.

    Hi there,

    Thanks for your feed­back! I com­pletely agree with you. I am no fan of the long-copy pages either. I find them too salesy. How­ever, I learned over the years that what I think mat­ters far less than the num­bers, which is why we do test, after test, after test.

    So far, our test­ing has clearly showed that we will max­i­mize our sales and prof­its by adopt­ing a long-copy for­mat so while it makes me cringe, it yields the best results.

    For­tu­nately, we also have a blog where we can sim­ply share what we find, case stud­ies, and tests and will keep doing that too!

    I’ve been look­ing at this guide as well as Adwords Sys­tem Exposed, and was won­der­ing if you could elab­o­rate on one aspect of your system:

    How dif­fi­cult is it to imple­ment for small busi­nesses who lack an in-house web developer?

  4. Mike

    Just one clar­i­fi­ca­tion on the sys­tem that we offer. You do not need an in-house devel­oper to get this sys­tem setup.

    I am talk­ing more about set­ting up an expert process and sys­tem that once imple­mented will make it infi­nitely eas­ier to tweak your Google AdWords account to make rapid improvements.

    The soft­ware behind the sys­tem is just lever­ag­ing and using the very best that Google AdWords already offers but very few clients actu­ally know how to use and implement.
