I had purchased this book only because I highly enjoyed the another Peter Kent's volume: Search Engine Optimization For Dummies (For Dummies (Computer/Tech))
Important to say, that at the time I bought this book, in my shelf sits more than 10 books on this topic and I run PPC campaigns for 5 years already. And the book with a title DUMMIES - if written by such author as Kent, are invaluable. There are gems gems gems inside! Sadly, that a real "dummy" will definitely miss them, and in contrast, those who might get a lot from those gems - experienced PPC warriors like me - will just avoid book, because of the title.
And here is what I need, to say. As you probably know, that Dummies books are usually annoyingly full of screenshots of how to make so commonsense things, like I wonder sometimes, why they do not force the author teach how to switch on the computer, before move to cover PPC or SEO topics.
And here is where this authors genius steps in.
- Thank you to Peter, that he avoided to copy paste half of Google Help menu, I can imagine, his fight with dummies staff on a topic.
- Book in fact is 3:1 in or 4:1 - it covers a topics what hardly are covered in other books on topic - like landing page optimization, website usability and even website branding and positioning - in context of PPC! All those pearls are thrown to readers under 'dummy" title, which I consider unfair to author.
Anyway, there is one of the best book as for experienced and same for dummies.
