    Hello,

    I'm interested with The Definitive Guide To Google Adwords by Perry Marshall.

    I found a lot of stores to sell it, but they don't tell the version.

    Anyone knows how many pages does the latest version have?

    Some version has 167 pages, and some version has 80 pages.

    Thanks!

    I think one is the ebook and the other is a actual book. The actual book was published back in 2006, they haven't updated it yet and the ebook i think is updated regularly

    That book is OK as a primer, just don't take anything too seriously as much of the data is out of date and does not apply to real world adwords strategy.

    Also many peoples account and domains have been slapped due to following the steps in that guide, so take it as an introduction to adwords and thats about it.

    If you really want to learn about adwords read the google adwords help section and read as many threads as you can from this forum...

    You will learn more than that book can teach you...

    The book The ULTIMATE guide to Google Adwords has about 300 pages

    [ an ebook like Beating Adwords by Kyle and Carson is about 100 pages ]

    Those poor paperback books have no chance if they're an adwords guide. If it was written in 2006, that's like 2 decades in adwords time, things change that fast with them.

    "poor paperback books"! "no chance if they're an adwords guide"!

    Even if written in 2006, newbies can learn a lot with those works

    You may be smarter than Perry Marshall, Kyle and Carson but you could be a little bit humble too :rolleyes:

    Yes agree, its probably concentrated just on direct linking and has no mention about the Google double serving rule. In a sense it kinda gives you a brief history of the methods used back, probably doesn't mention anything about tracking keywords, it will probably have 20 pages on how to write your adds, and introduce you to the affiliate networks. Overall i wouldn't bother buying it, since most of this info can be obtained on this fourm, and other free places. Save your money, and invest it else where.
