If you're looking at implementing a ppc or seo or paid inclusion search engine marketing program then you'll be wise to have this book in your arsenal. It's full of good information about the elements that really matter to your campaign and breaks it down based on the desired outcome. So whether your looking to implement a branding campaign, generate leads, sell product or just drive traffic, the tactics are there as well as a description of which engines to use for each type of campaign by industry.

Anyway, it's a good book so I say if you're in that market then you should definitely buy it. Even if you think you're too smart to learn anything new about seo or ppc, trust me, nobody's that smart.

Search Marketing Strategies focuses on how to make the most from the search engine industry. Concentrating on the strategic element rather than the procedural approach, the author demonstrates how to adapt the tactical techniques, such as paid search, site side optimization and analytics packages, into search strategies in order to achieve marketing or corporate objectives such as branding, sales and customer acquisition.

* Focuses on search marketing strategy rather than search optimization
* Acts as a toolkit for adapting tactical techniques into search strategies
