Beating AdWords - Buy Beating AdWords?
December 19, 2008
Beating AdWords is written by Kyle and Carson of Wealthy Affiliate fame, an excellent website resource for affiliates.
Very nicely laid out and written in plain, simple English and 105 pages long.
Like all three pay per click products reviewed here, Beating AdWords takes the reader through the set up of a Google AdWord account, step by step. If you have not done this before yourself, Google makes it simple for you anyhow.
Clickbank is briefly covered - where and how to find a product to promote in your adWords campaign.
Then on to making up your adWord campaign and ad groups, quality score and landing pages - gaining relevancy by using a good keyword strategy, thereby reducing your pay-per-click costs.
They also talk about how to monitor your competitors. Within their Wealthy Affiliate website there is a neat tool you can use to do this - I have tried it out and its a good way to cut down a fair bit of extra work.
All in all Kyle and Carson have done a fine job in creating this information product. There are in my opinion a few things that could have been at least touched upon. And maybe a mention of some more of Google’s tools that are out there to help their AdWord customers.
There are however a number of tricks of the trade they do elaborate upon and this is very helpful, one of which is mentioned above.
Beating AdWords is a reasonably thorough and very clearly written guide and is very much geared towards the novice. At $67 its affordable and I do recommend it for anyone just starting out.
Please also check out the Wealthy Affiliate website. If you want to go into much more depth regarding adwords or general affiliate marketing then this site comes highly recommended! Oh, and there is a section on optimizing Squidoo too, and lots of talk about Squidoo on the website forum!
