Online advertising has come a long way. With so many platforms to choose from—Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, and so on—what makes Google search and display ads worth investing in? And how do you make that investment pay off?

Mike Rhodes, co-author of The Ultimate Guide to Google Ad Words, which is now in its fifth edition, talks about what makes Google ads tick. With over 15 years of Google ads experience, he’s about the best expert you can find in that field.
