Beware Most Books on AdWords - Beware of AdWords Itself
- Most books on Google AdWords start with the premise that AdWords is a fantastic way to promote your business (which it is, or at least, which it can be).
- Most books proceed to show you many of the deep technical details about how to succeed on Google AdWords.
- But most books "buy in" to the AdWords system and do not do a really good job of identifying the basic ADWORDS GOTCHAS that often cost novice advertisers a LOT of money.
There is a basic contradiction in Google AdWords: Google makes its money off of clicks, while you make your money off of conversions: sales leads or actual sales. Google, therefore, does everything it can to incent you to get more clicks, when in fact you should focus on getting more conversions. Most books on AdWords do not explain this basic contradiction. And, what's worse, most don't point out the five 'gotchas' hidden in Google AdWords that my be costing you money - a lot of money.
