50 Secrets to Write Google Ads Titles that Sell
In my review posted on Amazon.co.uk, I gave the book a 2 Stars rating. This means it is Disappointing.
Here is my book review.
Disappointing, an opportunity missed
I like the idea of a specialist book to help you write Google Ads. They are much expanded from the old days when the too line was 25 characters and the only two other lines each had 35 characters.
Sadly this isn’t it.
The book launches straight into the tips. No explanation of the author and why you should listen to him. No explanation of what the author means by the title in the Google ads
Then we get to the secrets themselves and these are grounded in good marketing practice.
My issue is there aren’t any examples to clarify what the author means. This makes it hard to understand what is meant by the short comment about each secret.
I borrowed it in my Kindle unlimited subscription. I’m glad I didn’t buy it.
I’m left thinking that, if the author is an expert in writing Google Ads, that this is an opportunity missed.

A very nice guide to AdWords but it was published in 2012
This is a classy book about Google AdWords which does a great job of explaining how pay per click advertising works and how you can bend the system to work in your favour. [continue reading…]

Good 2016 guide to AdWords but already out of date
This book is written by two Duct Tape Marketing consultants (Duct Tape Marketing is an excellent book or small business owners ).
Although it was published in 2016, Google have made significant changes in the way the ads are shown (no right hand column ) and they have made the ads themselves significantly larger which puts more emphasis on copywriting. [continue reading…]

Here is my review.
Ambitious review of various PPC methods
This is a more substantial book than many of the low cost or Kindle Unlimited books available.
Its broad scope is its downfall because it is hard to do justice to the many different networks. More details are given to Google Adwords, Facebook and Twitter than some of the others. [continue reading…]

A short intro to AdWords but you need much more
I’ve no idea how the author has the nerve to claim this short book is the “ultimate guide”. It’s very far from it and only sets up the book for a harsh assessment. [continue reading…]

PPC Made Simple: Strategies For Dominating Google AdWords

Here is my review.
In its day, this would have been an excellent source of advice but it urgently needs an update
Many of the low cost or free to read with a Kindle Unlimited subscription are skimpy and miss of much but this used to be the real deal. Not perfect but very good.
The problem is that it was written in 2010 and 2011 according to the copyright at the beginning of the book. PPC through Google Adwords has changed significantly since then and the social media networks have also become major drivers of traffic. [continue reading…]

Disappointing.
I’m biased against any book that claims to be the “ultimate” and I see that there are several Adwords/Pay per Click books that do exactly that. How can any book be described as the best let alone the best there will ever be by the author? [continue reading…]

More of a promotional tool than an informative book – useful if you outsource
This is a short book for anyone who has started a Google Adwords campaign but isn’t getting much success. Bitter experience of my own experience and that of clients (before they talk to me) shows that it can be an expensive way of promoting a business if some of the basics are overlooked.
