Ultimate Guide to Pay-Per-Click Advertising: Ultimate Series

Autor Richard Stokes
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 3 apr 2014
Millions compete for exposure on Google and Bing but 99% of them fail to get results.

As the founder of leading digital intelligence firm AdGooroo, search advertising authority Richard Stokes is in a unique position to reveal what’s going wrong and provide solutions to fix it.

Using proven strategies from today’s search advertising elite, discover how to drive significantly more traffic to your site, dramatically increase click-through rates, steal impressions from competitors, boost your conversions, and increase your sales by unbelievable amounts.

Since the previous edition, there have been a number of revolutionary changes in paid search. First, we are increasingly searching from our cell phones rather than desktop computers. Second, Google is no longer the only game in town. Bing now accounts for 30 percent of all U.S. searches. Finally, "search extensions" have become a powerful new technique you can use to collect phone numbers and email addresses with your ads, limit your ads to certain times of day, deliver coupons to nearby customers, and even provide handy "call me" buttons that are displayed only on cell phones. In this new edition, Stokes details all this and more.

This is required reading for any online marketer who wants to be in the 1% of successful search engine marketers. What Richard says is right on the money and has led my own clients to realize 3X to 5X sales growth in a matter of months on mature campaigns that had been 'optimized' and managed previously by other agencies.
—Kevin Milani, VP of Digital Marketing, Virtual Marketing Staff LLC

Brilliant insights. Advanced material. Don't think, just buy it. Rich is one of those guys that makes you sit up and listen closely. His knowledge of the data behind AdWords is quite literally unparalleled (outside a few people in Google. Maybe.). He digs in deep and makes you smirk in awe at the clever ways all that data can help you improve your account. A must read.
