I’m including this article here just because most network marketers use google adwords as a way to generate their own leads. And they have probably came across lately with an ebook called “Get Google Ads Free”
A friend of mine - he calls himself “the masked guru” - sent me an email where he gives a detailed explanation of the ebook content.
I just wanted to give you a heads up on the masked guru’s opinion on such ebook. Before you go to clickbank to buy it, read on:
Get Google Ads Free Exposed
The guru says this is “the lamest, most misleading and downright untruthful ebook I’ve ever come across“ In fact, he says, this ebook is such a waste of time, I’m going to tell you right now that there are no ‘free google ads’, and that this shyster is trying to con you by using what he believes is ‘clever’ language both in the naming of his ‘product’, and the ‘content’ of the book.
After purchasing the ebook, these are his reasons for such strong statements:
* The author begins immediately to ask you to become an affiliate, begging you to start pumping this shoddy product before the author has even bothered to explain what it is.
* Page 7 starts with a testimonial from ‘Lisa Brooks’, a ‘Fashion Consultant’. Why is the photo of Lisa’ a stock image available all over the web?
* One of the techniques he advises is to bid high at first to get your clickthru rates up, then lower your bids until your ad placement starts to suffer’, a technique as old as PPC itself.
* Another ‘handy relevant tip’ - basically, have a look at your PPC campaign, and select the top 5 keywords with the best click thru rates from your top 10 performing keywords and ‘optimize your web pages for that’.
Well, that depends on what keyword phrase lists you are using. Anything with the word ‘Free’ in it, for example will usually outperform other phrases. People looking for ‘free’ stuff ain’t usually buyers though, so use this ‘tip’ at your own risk.
* A claim that “Get Google Ads Free” has had ‘over $87 million in free advertising over the last 16 years due completely to my secret”. There is no proof offered for this outrageous and illiterately worded claim, and we can discount it absolutely, for obvious reasons.
If the ads were ‘free’, what was the cost comparison used to come up with the 87 mill figure?
Take notice that Google didn’t offer PPC 16 years ago, in fact they didn’t even EXIST!
There are no ‘free google ads‘. Just a ludicrous attempt to entice you into trying to arbitrage between adwords and banner space, an activity so foolhardy you’d need to be lobotomized to even THINK of trying it. Anyone who has ever tried to sell banner space will know how incredibly hard it is.
Do the math and then see if you can come up with a ’secret method’ that loses you money faster than this halfwit ’strategy’.
* Page 12 is a screen shot of what “Get Google Ads Free” thinks is a ’squeeze’ page.
Interestingly, it doesn’t even have a sign up box on it. Strange way of opting in someone.
* “Get Google Ads Free” claims that nowadays he can gets ‘12 million free advertising off Google a year’. Without independently audited proof, you’d be MAD to believe he is
one of Google’s largest advertisers.
This is without any doubt the silliest, most useless ‘ebook’ I’ve ever seen, he concludes.
If you want to part with your money forever, without getting something of value back, then go and buy Google Ads Free at your own risk.
