What is Google and Why is it Important? Google is the world’s largest and most powerful search engine. In other words, it’s an incredible tool that allows you to locate a wide array of information on the Internet including websites, news, maps, phone numbers, stock quotes and much, much more.

Google is important it is our gateway to access information online. Every day more information is available electronically and we continue to discover new reasons to need access to that information. In fact, many people are finding themselves accessing Google 10, 20 or even 100 times a day. So given the usefulness of Google and the increasing importance of Google in our lives, you would expect users to understand how to use Google and all of its services. Unfortunately, the opposite is true.

Most Google users only know how to perform basic Google searches and are actually quite inefficient in these efforts. As a result, most users are wasting their time, energy and money. This book is designed for beginner to intermediate level Google users who want to be more productive with Google. We will begin with an overview of how to maximize Basic Search, and then progress through advanced techniques, other types of search, and information on other Google services. Lastly we will reveal some Google hacks and tricks for more expert users.

Nice marketing trap

What is this? Of the information in this LITTLE publication MOST OF IT can be easily found online unless you are a beginner,most of the information presented in this publication is pretty basic and is sold as...well you may try. Will the author try Yahoo or MSN too? Not a bad idea
Well dont be so hard try the "Stupid Google Tricks" you are only giving away $2.00 dollars it may worth the expense

N. L. Saltz is right!

I agree with Saltz, Don't Waste Your Money!. I usually read these reviews before buying. This time I didn't and boy do I wish I had. This "book" is out dated and probably never did have any useful information that is not available of the Google site. And guess what the arrow on the cover is covering up? The list price is $1.99. When did Amazon start charging MORE than the cover price?

Google High Speed Tutorial

Worth the money to obtain a sense of competence with this all powerful, by all accounts, search engine. There is some slight digression and loss of focus on page 10. Nonetheless, it is nice to be rid of ignorance and its corollary, helplessness, quickly and cheaply.

A bit too basic, outdated and expensive

I learned a few new things from this little guide, but nothing terribly new or more powerful or anything (that I couldn't find elsewhere online, for free). Five bucks is too steep for a twelve-page .pdf that's several years old now (when it was two bucks).
