Review
In my view, this book is the PPC bible. Stunningly up to date, the authors seem intent on keeping it that way. Tracking, click fraud, branding, local advertising are all covered, plus plenty of background and tips from pros. Among much other material, the book identifies a top-ten PPC providers (Google, Yahoo!, FindWhat, Kanoodle, etc.), then lists 12 more second-tier providers (BrainFox, Findology, GoClick, etc.), then presents a table with 30 more PPC engines that offer pre-funded accounts.

Pay-Per-Click Handbook has a tremendous amount of advice, strategies, and information on search engine advertising. As you read through the book, you learn a great deal about the pros and cons of each PPC search engine. They provide detailed reviews of pay per click tools, management tools, tracking tools, and research tools. This book is a no-brainer for anyone seriously using the PPC engines. For under $50, the coupons you get alone make it worthwhile.

Great book! I received my copy earlier this week and was really impressed by its high quality and comprehensive insight! I have to admit – this may be the most thorough compilation of paid search strategies, tips and overall industry knowledge that I have ever seen! You did a wonderful job researching the topic and putting it together in a very professional manner.
