Review date : 2008-07-07 Perry and Bryan did a wonderful job on this volume. This is a must-have for anyone running AdWords campaigns. The book opens your eyes to many important things.
The only criticism that I have is about the continuous references to the Overture’s Keyword Selector Tool which has been inaccessible for almost a year now. It seems that it is already time for the authors to edit the "Ultimate Guide to Google AdWords" to rely more on Wordtracker or a similar tool.
Overall, excellent job on the book, gentlemen. Quick and extremely informative read. Took me a transatlantic flight to read, and boy, did I find a number of hidden gems in it!
I am still giving it a 5-star rating (regardless of that Overture comment).
Thank you,

Review date : 2008-06-23 This book too general. Talks a lot about tips for running your business in general. That’s not what I need. I was looking for Google tips exclusively. If you read the wording of all those 5-star reviews, they are a joke. Not written by actual buyers, most likely the author’s friends.
Review date : 2008-06-18 Excellent book, We like it a lot.
Our sales in Google really improved!!
Review date : 2008-06-02 I was driving traffict to my website and measuring returns within 24 hours of reading this book. Great step by step instructions and clear benchmarks for measuring success.
Review date : 2008-05-21 I reviewed Howie Jacobson’s book about adwords, but I remain a staunch Perry Marshall fan. I have this book and Perry’s ebook on this subject and I frequently listen to his many mp3 files I’ve accumulated over the years. I even purchased a new ipod so I could access Perry’s wisdom when I’m on the run. It would be hard to choose between Marshall and Jacobson, but if you can only afford one I recommend Perry Marshall. Follow their recommendatiuons and you’ll make enough money to afford both.

I have been an audiophile for a long time, but surprisingly, I never had really good sound that I could count on until I got my first Acoustic Research wireless speaker. Before the Acoustic Research speaker, I was using inferior equipment. Although I did not go straight from my first, big, clunky second hand bass speakers with broken cones to the Acoustic Research speaker, the difference was almost as pronounced. Nonetheless, the Acoustic Research speaker was just the last step in a string of slowly improving audio equipment that I had been acquiring since I was very young.
Before I ever saw an Acoustic Research speaker, I tried many other brands. I thought Bose were pretty good, and for a long time they were my favorite. Even now, when I am listening to music quietly to avoid disturbing my girlfriend, I turn off the Acoustic Research speaker and plug in my Bose headphones. But still, nowadays my whole house is wired with Acoustic Research speakers which pipe music to any corner that I want, any time.
It started when I was a teenager growing up in the 70s. This was a long time before there was such a thing as Acoustic Research speakers, or many of the other bands that are popular today. What I had was a pair of second hand speakers which I had inherited from a friend, when he bought his new stereo. He seemed to not think that they were good enough for his use anymore, but for me they were amazing. They had all of the bass that a teenager wants, and a mellow tubey sound that I still find tasteful. Unfortunately, they had many weaknesses including a torn speaker cone that buzzed, and very low treble fidelity. But still, I did really like them, and they did a good job for me all the way through college.
You can even use an Acoustic Research speaker to hear sound outside, as I have done. I have a wireless Acoustic Research speaker which plays music to the patio whenever I am entertaining. It saves me the trouble of having to bring out a boom box, and the sound quality is simply sensational. All of my guests have complemented the good fidelity that an Acoustic Research speaker provides, and many of them have gone on to buy them themselves. I say that they have good taste in sound.

Ever wonders how the quartz watch got its name? The name has a more literal significance than you might think. It is actually powered by the quartz crystal, a mineral most closely resembling the compound of sand and which comes from the Earths continental crust. It is this mineral in minute quantity that has the ability to keep time more accurately than any other mechanical or automatic watch.
The discovery of how a quartz crystal could accurately power a wrist watch changed portable timekeeping like no other invention. When the first quartz watch was introduced in the United States in the early 1970s it was an expensive wrist watch priced at around $500. Not only that, it wasnt the most beautiful face ever to adorn a wrist. The LED (light emitting diode) that showed digital time was bright red, and the technology was only applied to digital watches. Later, the engineering behind quartz watches was transformed so the displays could be shown in digital format using LCD (liquid crystal display) or an hour and minute hand, just like a mechanical watchs face.
Shaping the Quartz Crystal
The quartz crystal of course is at the heart of how a quartz watch works. Quartz crystals have long worked as transmitters. They were and still are used in transistor radios. This same theory, in order to be applied to powering a wrist watch, had only a couple of obstacles to overcome. One was to get the frequency to not give off too much power. Quartz in a solid form gives off a low voltage of power when it is bent a specific way. The other obstacle was to create circuit boards, in miniature, that could regulate the power given off by the crystal and work at low power.
One of the reasons quartz is such a good material for the job of powering watches, or any other device, is that quartz, stays in a solid form at even extremely high temperatures. Because of this, once it is shaped, it will stay the same shape and therefore give off the same frequency and consistent power. It is also unchanged by just about any solvent, so it can work well with other materials needed to manufacture the inner workings of the watch.
Watchmakers soon figured out that a straight bar of quartz or one shaped like a tuning fork could keep the power going indefinitely. This action is referred to as the Piezoelectric Effect. When a piece of quartz is cut properly it provides a starting frequency which then causes oscillation. This translates into pulses that can be recognized by digital circuits on the circuit board. This then shows as a display of numbers that change at the exact timing with the oscillation caused by that perfect frequency.
The exact method used in a quartz watch involves using thin bars of quartz that are plated. Then, using chemicals, it is etched into the optimum shape. This works just like an integrated circuit.
There are certainly different quality levels and accuracy levels within the general category of quartz watch. This is because some quartz bars are cut better than others. The real objective is to have the precise relationship of the angle cut into the quartz bar correlate with the crystalline axis. Another major difference has to do with contamination of the components of the watch. If the quartz bar and circuit are well encapsulated, they are less likely to get contaminated, which will negatively impact the accuracy of the watch.
Quartz for Powering Watches with Hands
For a quartz watch with second, minute and hour hands the initial process is the same. However, at the point where a display would register on a digital watch, the oscillation instead activates an electric motor which then powers gears to move the hands at precise increments, or pulses that equal exactly one second, just like a mechanical watch.
Quartz watches have truly changed the way watches are made. There are still some people who prefer the art of a watch made solely by mechanical means. However, in a world where exactness and accuracy in keeping time often count, there is no substitute for the quartz watch.

The origins of the classical guitar go back centuries and were strung with strings made from animal gut. As these guitars developed acoustic guitars strung with steel strings started to become popular.
These days, when we refer to a classical guitar it generally means to be strung with nylon strings (they evolved from the animal gut given its cheapness and playing qualities) whilst reference to acoustic guitars means those that are strung with steel strings. In essence therefore, both classical and acoustic guitars are very similar or indeed the same except for the strings they use.
Acoustic Guitar Qualities
Acoustics guitars (steel stings) are loader and have a punchy, jangly and vibrant sound. This enables the instrument to cut through other band noise to provide a rhythmic sound and edge to the band and have therefore become popular with both the country and rock genre of music.
The good quality acoustic guitars are made of solid hard woods like rosewood, maple and mahogany which, apart from making the instrument more robust, enhance its sound qualities. Some cheaper instruments are manufactured using laminated woods but this does affect the tonal range and quality. Some mid priced acoustic guitars will use a mixture of solid and laminated woods.
Since the 70’s the acoustic guitars manufacturer Ovation, started to develop and build acoustic guitars with solid wooden tops but plastic bowls or backs. These again have provided a further individual sound for the acoustic guitar. Given their curved back, some consider them more comfortable to play.
Acoustic guitars have been further developed to include built in pick-ups, pre-amps and graphic equalisers to further manipulate the tone. Coupled with that, specialist amplifiers for acoustic guitars have been developed that enable the natural sound of steel strung acoustic guitars to be mirrored at high volume levels.
If you are looking to purchase an acoustic guitar, given the massive variety and price ranges available, it is not something that you should rush into and you really need to try as many instruments as you can in order to find one that is comfortable for you and has the sound you are looking for. If you are serious about your guitar playing, I would always recommend spending as much as you can afford and try not to skimp. That will only result in more expenditure when, and you will inevitably will, wish to upgrade your instrument.

We’ve all seen the striking designs and colours of Dyson vacuum cleaners, but apart from looking different from other manufacturer’s vacuum cleaners, do they really differ in how they function? And are they better than other vacuum cleaners? The answer is yes.
To understand why Dyson vacuum cleaners are better than other makes we need to understand the technology used by other vacuum cleaner manufacturers. It’s only when we understand how these vacuums work that we can take a look at how Dyson re-invented the business of sucking up dirt, to do things better.
For nearly one hundred years all vacuum cleaners worked the same way. An electric motor produced suction, which in turn sucked up dirt. The dirt was collected in a dust bag. Fine, except that over time, the dirt clogged up the filter that is found at the end of the bag. As you might guess, dirt clogging up the filter reduces the suction of the vacuum; less dirt is sucked up and the air expelled not only smells bad, but actually expels dirt back out into the room. That’s the way vacuum cleaners always worked and no one ever questioned this. That’s was until a certain James Dyson come along. He was an inventor, and like most inventors, he had the gift of looking at how something works and asking; can it be improved? He found the answer and the rest is history.
Instead of using a motor to produce suction power through conventional means he used the motor to produce suction through centrifugal force at high speeds. He did away with the bag. It was redundant as it was no longer integral to producing the suction force. He took his invention to Hoover and Electrolux. These companies did not take his invention seriously. Today, these companies can only reflect on the one that got away, as Dyson went on to found his own company; a company that today equals other vacuum cleaner manufacturers in terms of turn over. Dyson not only produced a new and better product than his rivals; he also made it in striking designs and colours that made Dyson vacuum cleaners design icons. Naturally, the public took to Dyson vacuum cleaners, as these machines combined what was best in cutting edge technology and design.
But Dyson doesn’t rest on its laurels. The company has continued to lead the field in technology enhancements. Dyson vacuum cleaners incorporate HEPA filters, to reduce further the amount of allergens that are blown back into the atmosphere. Also, it was the first manufacturer to introduce a ‘ball’ into the head of its upright models, making it easy to maneuver compared to conventional models. The Ball took three years to develop and has 182 patents. The patented Ball technology replaces the traditional, rigid two wheels on the base of the machine with a ball, allowing the vacuum to twist and turn effortlessly around furniture and low-lying obstacles. The Ball successfully eliminates the struggle of maneuvering a vacuum around the room, so that you control the movement, not the other way around like traditional vacuums.
Dyson also employs rigorous testing of all its models. For example, one of the many tests to ensure robust engineering includes Dyson vacuum cleaners being dropped with the force of up to 150 times their own weight, so you can feel confident that when you buy a Dyson vacuum cleaner, it’s going to last.
So, when you decide to buy a Dyson vacuum cleaner, not only are you buying one of the most beautiful looking vacuum cleaners on the market today, you’re buying one of the most technical advanced vacuums. Dyson vacuum cleaners really do combine brains and sex appeal.

The Toshiba Satellite Pro P100 is an excellent multi-media desktop replacement laptop. It sports many innovative features which will immediately convert many users into admiring fans. However, like any object of our affections, the Satellite P100 does have some flaws. A close examination of all the features and flaws of the Toshiba Pro100 will give you some indication if this is the laptop for you, especially if you’re in the market for a PC desktop replacement.
The Satellite Pro100 laptop was recently introduced by Toshiba to compete in the lucrative PC marketplace. If you can fit all the performance and features of a full size PC into a laptop, why not go for a smaller sexier package? Has Toshiba succeeded in producing a better desktop PC? Enquiring minds want to know!
Lets give the Toshiba P100 a closer look and point out all the pluses and minuses, the pros and cons of this new multi-media desktop replacement powerhouse. Lets consider the pluses first.
This laptop looks great.
There’s no denying it, the Toshiba Satellite P100 looks good. This laptop has style. It lives up to its name — Professional. The Toshiba Satellite P100 is black with a matte silver interior off-set with a black keyboard. The design is sleek, simple and clean. Everything fits. Quite frankly, in the looks department, it has to be rated a 10 or very close to it.
Now everyone knows a laptop’s looks should not be your first consideration when buying a laptop, but from a marketing angle this factor may play a bigger role than all the impressive specs and technical performance this laptop posesses. In today’s world, looks and style does count; don’t let anyone try to convince you otherwise. Besides, this classy laptop package will be displayed prominently in your home or office — its impressive looks will turn a lot more heads than your run-of-the-mill PC.
This laptop is fast.
Sporting the new Intel Core Duo T2400 1.83GHz processor on a 100GB SATA (5400 RPM) hard drive with a 667MHz FSB or System Bus. The Satellite P100 is pre-loaded with 1 Gig of RAM (expandable to 4 Gigs). You probably already know RAM is the main factor in determining the speed of your computer.
Plus, with a 128MB NVIDIA GeForce Go 7300 graphics card this laptop will easily handle all business applications and will even handle many of the older games… but please note you may need to upgrade to a ‘gamer-centric’ model, such as the Toshiba Satellite P105-S921 with NVIDIA GeForce Go 7900 GS for playing all the latest games.
The NVIDIA’s GeForce Go 7300 video processor has 128 MB of dedicated memory and can ‘borrow’ extra memory from the system’s RAM with Turbo Cache. Up to 512 MB of total video memory.
This laptop offers top performance.
The new Intel dual core processor makes simultaneous multi-tasking quick and painless. Double your power. It can process multiple applications, and carry out some of the most demanding multi-threaded programs. It is also Windows Vista compatible for those who are thinking ahead.
The Toshiba P100 does offer more than enough performance to easily handle all the chores and tasks of a regular PC. In many cases, it will out perform many current PCs.
This laptop runs cool and quiet.
The Satellite P100 runs very cool — for the first week or so this laptop was placed on a thin plastic tablecloth, just to check if there would be any overheating. None. Good underbody ventilation.
This laptop is also very quiet — there is only the occasional whir from the fans. Like a high price auto gearing up, well not really, but you won’t mind the sound.
This laptop offers great viewing pleasure.
Featuring a 17 inch LCD Widescreen TruBrite display that’s crisp and clear, the visuals on this Toshiba laptop holds up against many higher priced laptops. Toshiba is known for its high quality screens and this laptop’s display is no different. The images are sharp and the colors are brilliant. Native resolution for the display is 1440 x 900 pixels. And the screen is clear and viewable from all angles.
Watching DVDs and Videos on this laptop may become addictive because of the excellent viewing graphics and sound. The widescreen makes watching 16:9 ratio aspect movies more enjoyable and because you’re sitting close to the laptop, you get surprising good visuals.
The 100 Gig hard drive and the DVD Super-Multi Drive for burning DVDs will come in handy for fully enjoying all those movie downloads. The dual layer DVD burner which burns DVD-R or DVD R discs at a maximum of 8x. The Toshiba P100 also comes pre-loaded with the InterVideo WinDVD Creator 2 Platinum and Sonic Record Now.
This laptop has perfect sound.
Perhaps, what makes the viewing experience so enjoyable are the built-in Harman/Kardon stereo speakers. On most laptops you get horrible sound, this is not the case here. This P100 has Intel High Definition Audio sound chip and Toshiba has boosted this system with integrated speakers, using top-of-line Harmon/Kardon speakers.
You also have headphone jack for private viewing. If you enjoy using your laptop or computer for watching videos/movies than the great sound on the Satellite P100 should play a major factor in your buying decision.
This laptop has a nice touch and feel to it.
That might sound frivolous, but after using the Toshiba Satellite for two or three weeks you really do appreciate how comfortable and how effective the overall design of this laptop truly is. Typing is a breeze and the touchpad is responsive. The three programmable shortcuts on the touchpad is a unique feature that will save you a lot of time.
The full size number keypad is convenient for many business applications and almost justifies the rather cramped keyboard, some of the other keys have been downsized. Especially the small right shift key and a slightly smaller enter key. However, it must be added, after one uses this laptop for a week or so — these smaller keys are not a factor. You quickly adjust your typing and the differences become insignificant.
This laptop comes pre-loaded.
Toshiba pre-loads their laptop with a config-free system. This model had Windows Microsoft Windows XP Home edition. And includes Toshiba Configfree, Toshiba Express Media Player, WinDVD, Sonic Record Now, Intervideo WinDVD Creator 2 Platinum, Microsoft Office OneNote 2003, Norton Antivirus 2006
Other features of the Toshiba P100 include 10/100/1000 Integrated Ethernet LAN and Intel Wireless LAN 802.11abg for networking. Card slots include 1 PC Card Slot Supports One Type II PC Cards, 1 Express Card Slot Supports CardBus. Ports include 4 x USB 2.0, RJ11, RJ45, Headphone Port, External Microphone Port, S-Video Out, RGB, DVI, and S/P DIF.
Now, lets consider some of the minuses.
This laptop is not portable. At little under 8 pounds you won’t be lugging this laptop around on many trips. It really is not designed as a lightweight portable notebook but as far as desktop replacements go - the Toshiba P100 is easy to carry around the house. It does not feel or look bulky.
This Laptop has poor battery life.
It has to be realized, in most big powerful multi-media desktop replacement you will get poor battery life. The battery life on the Satellite P100 is around 2 hrs with the 6 cell battery. Since most owners use this laptop for a desktop replacement, long battery life is not that important. They will mainly be using this laptop plugged in to AC power.
After you have used this media-media laptop for three or four weeks many of its high performance and powerful features will surprise you. I have not had a crash or freeze-up yet. And I do a lot of multi-tasking — it is not common for me to have 10 or 15 browser windows open, downloading files, graphics, answering emails… all the while burning off a DVD or deleting files with 35 over-writes, with countless programs running in the background. The Intel Duo Processor does the trick. It lets you handle much more work than an ordinary PC.
Keep in mind, the Toshiba Satellite does have some flaws, there is poor battery life and at around 8 pounds this is not a portable laptop. A truncated keyboard. It also has no built-in web cam which would have been a nice addition in a laptop of this caliber.
However, the major selling point must be the great crisp 17 inch screen with superb visuals and excellent sound from the Harman/Kardon speakers. Forget all the specs and techno features, this laptop is a pleasure to use and enjoy. Whether you buy the Satelitte P100 for your home or office; this laptop won’t disappoint. It has a comfortable keyboard, more than enough performance for complex multi-tasking chores and a display that won’t put a strain on your eyes no matter what you’re watching.
The Satellite Pro is a powerful PC replacement that offers great visuals and sound. The Intel Duo Processor will easily handle almost any applications that you can throw at it. The Toshiba P100 does make a great desktop replacement for your old PC. It is worth your consideration.
Did we mention it also looks great!
