I was disappointed in this book because it made me judge that it would be about Yahoo! and Google equally with eBay. But, this book was all about eBay with a tiny sprinkling of Yahoo! and Google here and there — surely not enough to include Yahoo! and Google in the title of the book. The book has 29 chapters. It doesn’t stop discussion about eBay until Chapter 21 then resumes its eBay discussion in Chapter 29.

The book should have been called “eBay 101″ or “eBay for Not-So-Dumb Dummies.” It does have excellent information for a complete eBay newbie but I would recommend other books for the non-eBay savvy newcomer like Adam Ginsberg’s book: How to Buy, Sell, and Profit on eBay or eBay Powerseller Secrets by Debra and Brad Schepp. In fact, those two books I just mentioned alone should be all you need to get started if you want to make money on eBay.

Pass on this book. It’s a rip off. The title is not appropriate and designed to deceive people into believing that the book will give you a strong online selling strategy with a successful mix of eBay, Yahoo!, and Google when that isn’t the case. It’s all about eBay with a few words dropped in here and there about Yahoo! and Google.

Internet marketing is an exciting way for home-based entrepreneurs to get started in their own business. Books such as this one provide an excellent resource to learn basic concepts and to validate what you may already know or practice.

I found the information on Google and Yahoo adequate. I beleive the author was attempting to just introduce you to the concept of advertising with Google and Yahoo, as in Google Adwords and Yahoo Sponsored Searches. After grasping the concept of using pay per click advertising, the reader can then go to various online resources to get detailed information straight from the source.

I would recommend this book to people just getting started in Internet marketing. Also, you may want to check out Ron Taylor's book below for information on getting started making money with paid surveys and affiliate marketing.
