Book Review Websites Comparison

January 23rd, 2010 ipank No comments

Long before the internet, people have read book reviews. Before spending their time and money on a book, they wanted to find out if a book would be a good investment. Today is no different. People simply have many more choices now that the internet is so commonplace. We have the ability to read numerous reviews about any book that interests us, those written long ago, or bestsellers of today. A quick search will yield results for numerous online book review websites. A few of the top ones, and most used are Amazon. com, bookstore websites like Barnes and Noble or Borders, and those that have been around long before the widespread use of the internet, like the New York Times book review. Some consumer networking sites like Acobay also has book review category. Amazon. com is one of the top shopping and review websites. Along with editorial reviews, there are customer reviews. Because of the sheer number of people who use Amazon, there are many customer reviews on most books, especially best sellers, giving the reader a larger number of reviews to base their decision on. This can be good for the reader, giving many different opinions. Once a book has reviews in the thousands though, it can be overwhelming to wade through all of them. Amazon provides reviews for all types of books, including fiction, non-fiction, bestsellers, and children’s books. Books can be searched by title, author, genre or ISBN. Amazon also gives recommendations of other books the reader might like based on the books they have searched for. It is easy for the reader to find most any book. And Amazon has a useful feature which allows the customer to “look inside” select books, sometimes being able to read a few pages. Borders. com is another shopping and review website. It, like Amazon, has customer reviews, though not as many. For example, a search on a popular book, “Eat, Pray, Love” turned up 1792 customer reviews on Amazon. The same search on Borders only turned up 21 reviews. The website gives a description of the book, but no editorial review. The customer can use a wide variety of searches including title, author, ISBN or genre. Borders also lists similar books to view based on current searches. If the customer has a Borders store nearby, a quick search can tell if the book is available at their local store. Similar to Amazon, Borders gives the reader the ability to “look inside” select books. Borders also has a large variety and amount of books available, allowing the reader to search for and find most any book they are looking for. A different, yet well-known book review website is the New York Times book review. It lists the top books, based on sales each week. The New York Times lists the latest books. Not all are reviewed, though they may be in the bestsellers list for the week. The reviews that are listed though, are very detailed and thorough, giving the reader a good idea of what to expect from the book by professional reviewers. Because different works are placed together on the same page, fiction, non-fiction, poetry, it can be difficult to determine what genre each writing is at first glance. Therefore, the website requires more navigation to find books the reader may be interested in. The online database goes back to 1981, giving the reader access only to books reviewed since that time. On some books, the reader can choose to read the first few pages or chapters of a book. This is a nice feature, since sometimes it is in the first few pages that the reader makes the decision whether they would like to continue the book or not. Overall, each book review website has some unique attributes. If the reader is looking for a place to review and purchase a book in one easy step, a place like Amazon. com is a great place to look. If the reader would rather get an idea of what a book is about before going in to shop at a nearby bookstore, a website like Borders. com might be the top choice, since local availability of the book is also given. For a more thorough and professional look at bestsellers, the New York Times the top place for many to search. Whatever the choice, today’s reader has many options and the ability to find a new book to read in just a few clicks of the mouse.

Secret “get Google Adwords for Free” Ebook – Review

November 4th, 2009 ipank No comments

I recently bought the ebook everyone’s been talking about (called “Get Google Adwords Free”) the other day so I decided to write a review. In a nutshell it was an information packed ebook (125 PAGES) that explained how to achieve and maintain a constant #1 ranking on Google Adwords as well as how to get MILLIONS upon MILLIONS of dollars in “pay per clicks” for a cost of ZERO. Unbelievable I know (continue reading).

What is even more interesting is how the author claims to have brought in over $1 MILLION DOLLARS income yearly using the “secret” in “Get Google Adwords Free”, and on top of that, an unheard of $87 MILLION DOLLARS in FREE Google Adwords advertising.

I must admit hearing bold claims like these definitely got my attention. I wanted to know what he knew about Google Adwords that I didn’t. I have wasted a lot of time and spent lot of money making Google Adwords work for me, and this guy seemed to have me beat. So after reading the sales page TWICE I bought the ebook. I reasoned that since I bought this “Get Google Adwords Free” ebook through CLICKBANK I was protected, as I knew that CLICKBANK would refund my money back if I wanted a refund with no questions asked.

With this peace of mind I was able to systematically read AND critique this man’s “secret” methods. What I discovered in “Get Google Adwords Free” was the detailed methods to achieve exactly what the sales page boasts. If you were to put in action the claimed “secret” that he suggests, you will have achieved free Google adwords advertising (or any other pay per click service out there for that matter). I could have kicked myself for not thinking of this “secret” already. All the methods are completely LEGAL and break NO laws whatsoever. You may laugh, but I feel that soon everyone will be utilizing this “secret” method in one form or another in the very near future.

On a personal note, after actually implementing just a few of the techniques that he suggests I immediately saw a 150% increase in unique visitors to my website and my daily sales tripled that same day. I think the methods in “Get Google Adwords Free” will work for anyone with a 4th grade reading level.

Of course there is a section to where he gives you the opportunity to sell “Get Google Adwords Free”, his ebook. His firm researches that out of 46,000 people surveyed 96% said that, ‘getting Google Adwords free’ was their most sought after information.

The affiliate section of his website is the most impressive section that I have seen in years. Full of any marketing tool that you can think of to help you make money easily. I think he has certainly gone to great lengths to ensure his readers’ success.

I do feel like he could have gotten his point across without a huge hyped up sales page, but I guess I would not have given “Get Google Adwords Free” a second thought if it had not gotten my attention with such huge claims.

All things aside I did learn techniques that I did not know before, and I have been using Google Adwords for some time now. I personally feel that upon reading “Get Google Adwords Free” you will be one more step closer to success than you were before reading it. Even an advanced Google Adwords guru can come away with something I’m sure.

My honest recommendation would be to give it a read, as it comes with a “money back guarantee” anyway, you would have nothing to loose. I personally will be keeping my copy of “Get Google Adwords Free” to save it with my other useful ebooks.
