Review:
The how-to's throughout the volume are its greatest strength because the authors not only provide lucid explanations, they often include screenshots that illustrate tactics and techniques as well.
The content is more expansive than keywords alone; also included are excellent chapters on writing Google ads, following the company's editorial guidelines, split testing, conversion tracking, bidding strategies, and more. The manual also goes beyond Google AdWords to cover landing pages, Google's Display Network, advertising on YouTube, Google Shopping Campaigns, Google Analytics, and remarketing (aka behavioral retargeting), which the authors call "the single most profitable online advertising strategy."
The chapters on marketing are particularly astute. For example, an ode to the 80/20 rule (with material extracted and condensed from Marshall's book on the subject) takes the popular formula and demonstrates how it can extend to online marketing and "just about everything you can measure in a business."
An exemplary Google AdWords manual that could easily prevent costly mistakes and help boost profits.
