Learn How To Make Money With Google Adwords And
Pay Per Click Advertising

The two best resources I have found on learning Google Adwords and Pay Per Click Advertising are "Beating Adwords" and "The Definitive Guide To Google Adwords". 

Google's Adwords is the fastest way to advertise and sell your products and services on the Internet. That being said, it's also one of the most challenging methods of Internet advertising. There no Google Adwords or Pay Per Click Advertising Secrets, but many advertisers fail due to lack of understanding the system and how it works.

The concept is very basic. Advertisers choose specific keywords or phrases that users search for on Google's search engine, and create an advertisement that is displayed on the top or right of the natural listings that are produced. Seems simple, but in reality it's a somewhat daunting task.

The good news is if people don't click on your advertisement, you don't pay. You only have to pay if someone clicks on your advertisement. The tricky part is:

• You need to know what keywords your potential customers will search on
• How to get your prospect to click on your advertisement
• How to convert the visitor into a buyer once they go to your web page

Plus, add in all the competition (drives up the price of the clicks), the quickness of the results (everyone loves instant gratification) and it can get very exciting and expensive (you can go backwards very fast if you chose the wrong keywords or your sales page doesn't convert).

I would never recommend anyone just jump into Google Adwords Pay Per Click Advertising without doing a little research. I can't tell you how many people have lost 100's if not 1000's of dollars in the a very short span of time without the proper training.

My area of expertise is in Web Design and Search Engine Optimization. Organic (or natural) search engine results can be great targeted traffic. But it takes time to get ranked in the natural search, so I always recommend web site owners use Pay Per Click Advertising too. It's fast and can produce very good results if properly implemented.

When I started working with Pay Per Click advertising, I bought most of the popular Adwords books and materials. In my quest for information on Pay Per Click,  I found two very good sources of information that were far better than any other. Like most new Pay Per Click advertisers, I was stumbling around and getting some results but not what I felt was possible. After reading and studying the material below, I now have over 4 campaigns that produce an average of 7 to 1 payback (for every dollar spent I make 7 dollars back). I could have never done this without both of these resources.

Both are similar in that they explain and educate about Pay Per Click Advertising, but one is more directed towards Affiliate Sales and the other towards marketing your own products. Each has similar procedures but due to the nature of Affiliate Marketing, research and budget are different enough to require other methods.

I think the real impact both of these programs had on my campaigns is that I got to see very good real world examples. I was doing OK, getting a payback of 3 to 1, which is certainly profitable. But the input I got from these books has allowed me to get to the 7 to 1 payback I mentioned above.

Many of the current crop of authors will tell you they make money using Pay Per Click Advertising (and they probably do). Theory is great, and learning the basics is the first step to success. And several of the other products on the market provide a lot of basics but none have the depth, clear and concise instructions that Beating Adwords and The Definitive Guide To Adwords both offer.

I don't know of any other programs or authors who can make such a difficult subject easy to understand and implement. The devil is in the details on Pay Per Click Advertising, I've seen one minor change increase both click through rate and in turn increase sales.

If you want to make money using Pay Per Click Advertising, especially Google's Adwords program, these books are an absolute must have resource. And both offer a Membership Web Site to boot. Getting the input from the authors is great, but you also get a ton of useful feedback and questions answered by others pursuing the same goals.

Basic theory, tricks of the trade, hands on advice, and step by step instructions with plenty of easy to understand examples of working campaigns is an unbeatable combination. Think about this, many spend literally 100's of thousands for a college education and with these two books and Membership Web Sites you can learn more for under $150 total.

This could be the best investment you ever made in yourself. I know it worked for me and it was some of the best material and advice I've ever read or received. The bottom line is that if you want to be successful using Pay Per Click Advertising, you need these books.

Perry Marshall has put together an easy to understand Adwords Manual. He covers every aspect of starting and running a successful Pay Per Click campaign. No detail is too small in doing keyword research and Perry explains it well.

He also provides a list of tools, both free and paid, that are excellent sources of time saving methods. The information is geared toward web site owners (people who have their own products) and covers every aspect of key word research, creating responsive advertisements, and how to test everything until you get the best results.

Perry Marshall's "The Definitive Guide To Adwords" taught me how to increase my earnings and reduce my PPC costs.

In Summary - Pay Per Click Advertising Works!

But learning Pay Per Click advertising by trial and error is very expensive and time consuming. There are many facets to a successful campaign.

The good news is that once you figure out the formula, you can apply it to almost any web site, product, or service.

If I were to pick one area of Internet Marketing that can produce fast results, PPC would have to be on the top of the list. It's the only way I know of that you can start any campaign and see results in a matter of hours.
