In the world of Internet marketing, finding the right AdWords guide is totally like searching for a needle in a haystack. It seems that probably every guru, quasi-guru and fraud is promoting one. How can you tell which is the right one?
Google and AdWords are constantly changing. It's safe to say that any AdWords guide that's more than a year old is probably outdated. There might be some guides that update periodically, but you'll probably know them by the 2009 copyright logo.
If they don't say anything about Google's TV Ads, they're missing out on a hot new element of a good AdWords strategy. For that matter, if it doesn't tell you how to use radio, newspaper and TV ads in general, they're missing a huge part of a comprehensive strategy.
If there isn't a comprehensive traffic building strategy, don't bother. Maximizing your targeted traffic is essential for survival with an AdWords campaign. If you don't get a lot of the right kind of traffic, you can't convert them to sales. You're essentially wasting your money.
It doesn't end with getting targeted traffic. You need long-term traffic, repeat traffic. It's not enough to convert your traffic into sales; you have to keep them coming back for more. A satisfied customer with one product is a sure-fire customer in another.
The right AdWords guide also has to treat on the Google slaps. Why do you get them? What's going on behind that white wall? How can you avoid them?
These are all important questions you need to have in mind when looking for an AdWords guide. If it doesn't cover all the bases, it leaves you with blind spots. Blind spots are the last thing you need when working with AdWords.
