However, you don’t have to take my word for it. Here’s a list of testimonials from industry veterans:

Most books about search advertising show you how to do it. In Advanced Google AdWords, paid search expert Brad Geddes takes it to the next level, showing you not only how to get the most from your search advertising campaigns, but more importantly why you should use specific features and techniques, who you should be targeting with your creative, and when to use the scores of advanced tactics he describes for maximum impact and profitability. I’d advise buying more than one copy of this book because you’ll wear one out from constant use.

—Chris Sherman, Executive Editor, Search Engine Land

The thing that differentiates this book from other AdWords guides is that it takes you inside the mind of a successful paid search advertiser and walks you through each and every step of the auction and advertising process. The two consistent strengths of the book are its ability to ground the reader in the core goals of their advertising program (generating leads and sales through effective targeting and messaging) and its relentless attention to detail. That perspective and thoroughness mean that the book is accessible to less sophisticated advertisers, and ensure that there are a series of valuable nuggets for intermediate and even expert AdWords users.

This book is perfect for anyone who wants to really learn paid search and discover the best ways to improve their results.

Brad Geddes is the clearest voice on advanced AdWords teachings, tactics and strategies. I’m constantly referring to Brad’s articles and sharing them with others to help our clients make tens of thousands of dollars in their PPC campaigns—so be sure to grab a copy of Brad’s new book. One of the best things I like about Brad’s knowledge is that he is constantly sharpening his blade by teaching (Google’s Seminar for Success, AdWords advanced courses) and doing (running his own campaigns) so his writing reflects his deep knowledge of the intricacies and details which, when followed, lead to improved campaign results. There are a handful of books on the market which give you a broad understanding of the psychology behind how to advertise on Google; in Advanced Google AdWords Brad gives you that plus a practical, step by step plan to leverage what you’ve learned by including the technical details you need to turn your knowledge into action.

—Timothy Seward, Founder, ROI Revolution, Inc.

Brad has been the authority on Google AdWords for years, and this book is the best training tool I have seen since Google’s own training on their program. Brad goes a step further by explaining everything from where PPC advertising got started to advanced optimization techniques.

If you want to learn AdWords, this is a fantastic book to read to get the whole picture.

Many AdWords advertisers realize that the search and content network need different approaches. The problem is that most don’t know how to handle the difference so they just ignore the content network. Big mistake. The content network has the potential to deliver more visitors with lower CPC’s. Brad does a great job in breaking down, with a flowchart no less, how the approach to the content network differs and how to implement a winning content network strategy. Brad even goes a step further by showing you how to put a laser focus on certain content network sites to get the most out of what is available. If you want to boost your content performance you need t listen to what Brad has to say and follow in his steps.
